NEW GLADS FOR 1945 
For several years now I have watched the seedlings of Jim La Salle (originator 
of Lavender Prince and Red Rival) and have again prevailed upon him to allow me 
to introduce three of his seedlings. They are all pinks, distinctive and different and 
very outstanding. They are all proven commercials and extra cut flower varieties. I 
also believe they will become Prize Winners at the Shows. Fair stocks are available, 
consequently the introductory price is low for such quality glads. Take a tip from 
me, try a few for trial and I am sure you will get more the following year! Don’t 
let the comparatively low introductory price fool you! And Commercial Growers! 
Take a tip from me, invest in these three! 
CAPSICUM. Deep pink Decorative with a striking speckling or peppering on a 
cream threat blotch. Very pretty clear color. Average height of about 4 feet, and 
445 inches in blooms, 6 open on an 18-bud spike. Good propagator and germinator. 
Healthy bulbs. Midseason. 
COVER GIRL. At the 1944 N. E. G. Show at Boston, this seedling was awarded 
by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society its First Class Certificate. (Their high- 
est award). Medium pink, 5%-inch blooms, 10-12 open on a 30-inch flowerhead with 
formal placement. Grows tall, 5-5% feet with heavy, large foliage. Good grower and 
propagator. Believe this will give Picardy competition. Midseason. 
PIONEER. Mr. La Salle considers this his finest seedling. Deep salmon pink, 
blending to a cream throat. Grows easily 5% feet tall, 6-inch blooms, formal place- 
ment with 6-8 open on a 18-bud spike. Always straight. Plant very large with wide, 
heavy foliage. Most large glads are inclined to be coarse, but this variety has refine- 
ment and a very beautiful, clean color. Makes large bulblets which germinate readily 
and grow to more than average size. Midseason. 
PRICES FOR EACH VARIETY: 
1 Any Size $ 2.00 
6 Any Size $10.00 
12 Any Size $20.00 
No Bulblets This Year.
