cataloged last year that our asking price is from one-half to four-fifths of last year’s 
quotations, but we do not feel that we should ask our customers more than our standard 
markup, even though the price drop is excessive. Of many we have very small stocks 
and if it were not our policy to give all of our customers early opportunity to secure 
the new originations, we would hold more of it for propagation. On items marked NET 
quantity discounts will not apply, but we will furnish at the each rate as many as you 
wish while our supply does last. 
All origination year dates of foreign introductions are of the year first available 
to the U. S. public as released by U. S. growers. You will find a considerable number 
of 1949 year dates among the Australian, New Zealand and European varieties, and 
these, with those of former years, make our list of available varieties most outstanding 
in its completeness. Just about everything that our foreign correspondents could agree 
upon as being superior with them are included. 
We give most publicity to the 14 new varieties of Percy Burns, all of which plus 
DR. PRYOR, while of earlier release in Australia, will be 1949 releases for the United 
States. But we also have, of the originations of Both, no less than 58 varieties, of which 
19 are 1949 releases in the United States. His TUNIA’S MAHOMET, H. R. HANCOCK, 
and MARLENE BOTH are some of the older releases which have achieved remarkable 
popularity here, and these newer ones are claimed superior. His TUNIA’S WIZARD, 
a 1948 release in the U. S. of bulblets only, is claimed to be capable of producing 
12 inch florets. TUNIA’S ARISTOCRAT and JACK FALLU are 1949 releases with 
wonderful reports as to their performance. All three are in the smoky or AOC color 
classes. 
Errey is another most dependable hybridist. We list 11 of his creations, six of 
which are very recent. Coates’ GOLDEN BEAUTY is acclaimed the finest yellow yet 
produced in Australia. Also you will find most interesting ones from Horrex, Pfeifer, 
Rowse, Tonkin, Moore, Toon, Coombs and Pupich. 
From Europe — the noteworthy new hybridist is Salman and we add 11 of his 
finest varieties. Of these KING OF THE BLACKS, QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, KING OF 
THE BLUES and UNCLE TOM are U. S. 1949 releases. His GOLDEN FAVORITE and 
JAVA, the sensational 500 class yellows released last year at $10.00 per bulb now 
offered by us in large bulbs respectively at $3.00 and $2.00 with bulblets available. 
GENERAL EISENHOWER and ROOSEVELT’S MEMORY, two great Glads now offered 
by us at only 60c, and his SALMAN’S GLORY, BOULOGNE and PAUL REUBENS are 
an indispensable trio. 
From Konynenburg & Mark we offer as 1949 releases HENRI DE GREEVE, JO 
WAGENAAR, BEERSHEBA, BENJAMIN BRITTON and CIRCE. From Colyn as 1949 
releases FONDANT and JUNE ESTELLE. Two novelties of unusual coloring are SMYRNA 
and DE GRYSAARD, one a 1949 release, the latter released in 1948, both in the 90 color 
class have been most interesting to us. Also for 1949 release from Salman, LUNA PARK, 
the new smoky which was rated best at Haarlem this summer. In all we have a total of 
37 Europeans, released since the war — nearly all of which will be new to Gladland 
customers. Of these, 24 varieties are being listed by us for the first time.
