GREETINGS 
I naturally feel proud in presenting to you my first catalog. This 
has been a goal for me since I started growing glads in 1929. I hope 
fo treat everybody the way I would like to be treated under the same 
circumstances. I realize that this isn't the largest or the most elaborate 
catalog in the trade but I will try to make it better each year, if my 
venture meets with success. 
I specialize in growing thousands of seedlings each year and 
must have most of the good new varieties as well as a good stock of 
the older and standard kinds. I list some old ones although not in 
quantity. I grow quite a few varieties that aren't listed. If you are 
looking for something for hybridizing, write me and I may have it. 
I operate a greenhouse as well as two florist shops and have been 
selling glads wholesale and retail as cut flowers for nearly twenty 
years. I think I know what a good cut flower is. 
This year I am introducing two glads of my own and one for 
Art Hess of Union, N. J. I am sure that you will like them. Autumn 
Leaf is a tall clean smoky, Darling is an orange and yellow combina- 
tion. A good cut flower glad. Marietta is a real addition to the 
small decoratives. Art has some other good ones. Perhaps I can 
get him to part with them another year. 
I won't bother you with a long list of testimonials on the merits 
of my originations. I have sent them to growers in various parts of 
the country for trial. Most reports have been favorable. Some grew 
much better for others than for me. Usually glads that grow well in 
New Jersey will grow well any place. 
I have often said that when I issued a catalog I would like to 
make it an honest one. I have tried to do just that. Perhaps I'll 
be condemned for it, perhaps I won't sell any bulbs. I am telling 
you how they grow for me. They may do better for you. If you 
like the variety, try it. Iam only trying to point to the faults that show 
up the way they grow for me. I know that there are very few perfect 
glads on the market today, nevertheless if you grew glads twenty 
years ago you would appreciate the advancement and refinement 
in the glads of today. As a whole glads today are a long step ahead 
of anything grown then and there is no reason to believe that the 
glads of tomorrow won't be much better. 
Our garden is located on State Highway 10 in Northern New 
Jersey, between Newark and Morristown. Visitors are always wel- 
come. Seedlings and newer named varieties are in bloom from 
early July until October.
