Comments. Greetings 
THE TRUTH 
About most of these BEST or BETTER Glads,is,that they are no 
better than you grow them. If that were not true; if every one else 
grew them as well as you,there would be no competition and soon you 
would be deprived of the pleasure of attending those Glad shows. 
Don't trust the weather man to supply moisture when Glads need 
it the.most,when the flower spike is forming in the sheath,for this 
is the period that ample moisture is most important. This is the 
time that both floret size,space between florets,and spike lengths are 
produced,or the difference between just Glads and Showecaliber bloom. 
VARIETY COMMENTS 
Here are a few that I grew well,or at least grew well enough for 
me to give the following impressions. 
ANNAMAE-= Pure white,earlier and larger than Snow Princess. 
BIG TOP-- Had third florets of this that measured seven and one-half 
inchés,grown from No.2 and 3 size bulbs. The 4 and 5 size bulbs cut 
bloom about the size of most others from large size. 
BOBBY DAZZLE-- Hard to beat this Orange Scarlet for appearance and 
performance,or as a seed parent. It's resistance to disease surpass- 
es that of any variety I've grown in volume to date. 
BUCKEYE BRONzE-~ Sorry we have'nt more to offer of this. Don't see 
how anyone can help liking it. It's a knockout combined with blues. 
BURMA-- Whether you care for the deeper shades or not,I think you will 
like what this one has < Ot fax, 
CONVOY-- Still my rhy cRete true SPRUE. 
CORONA-- Planted a few bulblets of this for my own use. Can spare 
a few. 
COUTT'S ORCHID-- My stock of this,except bulblets,got lost in the 
shuffle some how last Spring. © Some body got it for something else. 
Missed it this year. It was the most beautiful Glad I had last year, 
Has to be well grown to be really good,but is worth it, 
CRINKLE CREAM-- A nice medium yellow,in rw 38s of the name,that looks 
capable of going places. 
ELIZ.the QUEEN—— Have. no fault to find with this Davendor whatever. 
Wish it was as early as Myrna Fay. +e 
ESSA WARIE~- This one looks better every year. Believe it will be- 
come very popular for it has both life and character.
