CORONA 
A Palmer origination. Introduced 
by Elmer Gove. Elmer sez, sez ’e: 

Creamy white shading to a cream 
throat with rose picotee edge which 
gives it a very distinct appearance. 
A beautiful variety that has been 
selling like hot cakes. 
Very tall, husky grower that you 
can cut with a good stem and leave 
plenty leaves on the plant, yet not 
bend down to the ground to get this 
long stem. 
Everyone likes Corona for home 
use, commercial and _ exhibition. 
Opens 6 to 8 very large blooms at 
a time. End of quote. 
Comes now Herbert O. Evans, an- 
other keen judge of Glads. 
Herbert adds: Corona seems des- 
tined to climb into the “‘best 10” in 
the C.G.S. symposium as it becomes 
better known. Positively outstand- 
ing, sez Herbert. 
JD sez: The petals being round ap- 
pear even larger than they actually 
are. “So round, so firm, so fully 
packed, so easy on the eyes.” 
Long’s Long Season Offers 
Turn back to MARGUERITE. You 
may order Corona MIXED SIZES at 
same prices as for Marguerite.

GLAD GOSSIP 
When I look at colored illustra- 
tions of Glads I’m reminded of that 
well-known definition of an opti- 
mist. 


You’ve heard it, and often: An 
optimist is a guy who believes he 
can grow flowers and vegetables to 
look like the pictures on seed 
packets. 
But rarely does a color print of a 
Glad look as lovely as the blooms 
in garden. 
Just wait till you see MARGUE- 
RITE, for example, in all its glory.
