SNYDER’S “GLAD ACRES,’ CLAWSON, MICHIGAN 
Dear Friends: 
In appreciation ‘of your past business, and with sincere hopes that 
we may again serve you with some of the “Finest Bulbs of the Finest 
Varieties” we send you this descriptive list of varieties we feel are out- 
standing in the Glad world today. 
You will note that we have added a considerable number of new 
varieties this year. These we have, after growing for the past few years, 
decided were worthy additions and are sure that they will please you. 
To new customers we wish to state that we will try to please you 
to the best of our ability with some very fine bulbs, of some of the finest 
varieties. We cannot grow all of the varieties coming on the market, but 
we do try most of them in our test garden, and pick the best to catalog 
for your gardens. 
Our blooms this year were as fine as we have ever had, and growing 
in the field we had many, many spikes of Grand Champion caliber. We 
had the good fortune of having a spike of White Gold named Grand 
Champion at the S. E. M.G.S. show, and won our share of Blues and 
Special Awards at the shows we attended. We do not grow our glads 
under special culture for shows, cutting those we win with right in our 
commercial plantings. ‘Thus those varieties that can win, we know are 
good performers. 
Elizabeth Maier which we introduced for Mr. Maier in 1944 has 
again won many awards this year. At this writing we know that it won 
Ist Three spike and Ist Recent Introduction at New York City Show, 
Ist at Connecticut, Ist and Section Champ at Indiana, also Ist single 
spike at Elmira, and Ist Recent Int. at Triple City Show. Not bad with 
limited distribution. Don’t forget Lord Athlone, Veronica Pfeiffer, 
Wolverine State, and Birmingham Beauty all have been winners and 
will win for you too. Madeleine Brown has brought in many fine re- 
ports, and if you want a real commercial don’t miss this one. Silver 
Wings, Leading Lady, Burma, Spitfire, Big Top, Corona, Glamis, Titan, 
and White Gold were a few of the most outstanding new ones winning 
major awards. 
Order your bulbs early and avoid disappointment. 
‘Thank you, 
Gr Veco Ne
