CONCLUDING REMARKS 

We realize this list does not contain all the varieties 
youll hear about as being really outstanding. We are 
growing 302 ditferent varieties - many in_ sufficient 
quantities to be listed - but some of them aren’t offered 
to you because we honestly feel they are not wortay. This 
policy wit and has cost us several hundreds of dollars; 
however ail those which are listed, in our opinion, deserve 
to be there and with your best care wit bloom in a 
manner to please you. There are many growers and 
catalogers who year after year add dozens of varieties to 
their previous year’s list, each new variety being described 
as a “must have”. The truth about this is that new and 
really outstanding glads just do not come along that fast. 
In our opinion it takes several years growing to definitely 
prove a giads true worth. Proof of this is the tremendous 
number of varieties introduced say 5 years ago which have 
faded into oblivion. Because they weren't good in the 
first place it did not take long for this to become common 
knowledge, with the net result that everyone discontin- 
ues growing them. On the other hand many worthwhile 
varieties are slow in catching public fancy because they 
are from the gardens of little known hybridist or from 
amateurs who do not possess enough knowledge of 
marketing a seedling to give the seedling proper and 
sufficient early publicity. We are constantly on the look- 
out for glad seedlings that fall into this catagory, in the 
hope the hybridist will permit us to introduce or co-intro- 
duce it. If this list should find its way into the hands of 
any hybridist who feels he has a good seedling we would 
be very pleased to help in introducing it. 
There is one other thing I would like to mention; the 
policy of many catalogers to discontinue listing a glad 
variety after the price has dropped. Our feelings on this 
matter are determined not by the variety’s selling price 
but by its ability to grow well and in a color that’s ° 
pleasing and possessing, in addition, good health, etc. To 
us a beautiful glad is just that whether or not it’s worth 
10¢ or $10.00 a bulb.
