GLAD “TIPS” 
In spite of the fact that our own special trial garden was tco late for some of the 
shows, it gave us much pleasure in the field. Many of the newer varieties were grown 
in larger quantities and, while some slipped back, most of them stayed up in the top class. 
Mr. Stephen Chase is offering a very outstanding group of varieties which we are 
enthusiastic about: AGATHA, ATALA, CANOPUS, DAPHNE, DEBUTANTE, NUBIA, NUGGET, 
ORION, SPINDRIFT, and TRIUMPH and they cover quite a color range. 
Errey Brothers, from Australia, never disappoint us and, as we have grown them a 
couple of seasons, we are very enthusiastic about: SINCERITY, MAUVINA, RIALGAR, 
WHITE WINGS, SUNKIST and FORMIDABLE. BERNADINE, MOONGLO, and PEACH PETAL 
are very lovely. STORM KING, DESERT SANDS, and MY DELIGHT are novelties, and the 
rich dark color of MRS. R. G. ERREY is perfect. 7 
It is difficult to pick and choose for there are so many fine glads appearing in the 
gardens and at the shows. EVANCGELINE, for instance, - such a beautiful ruffled light pink, 
and PHANTOM BEAUTY, - certainly rightfully named. 
Then there were three very fine ‘‘Ladies’:- ANNE, a pure rich white; JANE, a pleasing 
light yellow; and MARIAN, a lovely light lavender rose. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE you will like, - everyone does - and it is a pleasing blend of 
autumn shades. Everyone too will want to grow FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, a _ beautiful 
cream white. 
The growers from Holland have sent us some worthwhile additions to our trial patch. 
BELLE JAUNE promises to be a help in the yellow class. J. V. KONYNENBURG, ATLANTIC, 
and TIVOLI have outgrown the trial stage and they are well worth growing in larger 
quantities. BEERSHEBA, BERNARD SHAW, PACTOLUS, and NOVA ZEMBLA we were pleased 
with. URSUS and XENO are perhaps not as well known but merit a place in your garden. 
ROOSEVELT’'S MEMORY and GENERAL EISENHOWER, of Salman's are pleasing in color and 
strong in growth. 
Of all the so-called ‘‘blues,’’ Snyder's BLUE LAGOON seems the strongest and truest. 
PATRICIAN and EGLANTINE are refined and beautiful and, although the latter is a 
slow propagator, it is well worth your efforts. 
We are growing quite a group of varieties from New Zealand: FESTIVAL QUEEN, 
BLENHEIM, CAIRO, HILLCREST, EVENING BELLS, CREAM DELIGHT, ORANGE-ADE, and G. 
K. GILLIAM, - all quite different and each one pleasing. 
Mr. Alexander Barth, from Mainz-Zahlbach, has sent us GEORG BARTH and we believe 
you will like it. 
The number of ‘novelties’, ‘‘smokies’’ or “‘‘any other color’, appears to be growing 
in popularity, such as: SURPRISE, DUSTY MILLER, PARTY DRESS, CHIEFTAIN, and those 
previously mentioned from the foreign growers. 
So many people seem interested in the smaller varieties and we found the ATOM so 
popular that we bring to your attention: Mr. Cassebeer’s ORANGETOWN, also FILIGREE, 
PERI, and SILVERSIDES of Prof. Kuhn's. 
Our stocks of some of the newer glads are too scant to list this year, - and too, there 
afe some we prefer to try in a different soil. Next year we will plant in an entirely 
different location and, as we have. found from previous experience, the varieties on the 
border ling’ “may astonish us... is 
We*hope you will disctver items of interest in our catalogue and TINY remember,— 
our desire is to help you’ grow better glads and more of them!
