Dear Glad Friends: 
This is my first venture as a cataloguer and it gives me great pleasure 
to present this list to you. 
I am listing a few of the older varieties and a good many of the newer 
ones. With the exception of Golden Arrow and The Bride, I have grown 
them all and they have all done well in my field. 
The ribbons and cups that [ have won with them at the Boston Show 
in the last five years or more attest to their prize winning possibilities. 
I am giving the name of the originator, the date of introduction or 
availibility and also the Size and Color classification number with each va- 
riety as I feel this will be of material assistance 1n selecting varieties for 
the show table. An explanation of this numbering system as used at the 
Glad Shows all over the country 1s given at the back of the catalogue.
