A FEW KIND WORDS FROM OUR 
CUSTOMERS 
Pennsylvania: ‘I got a first for you on White 
Christmas at the Lebanon, Pa. show yesterday. 
If it had been open just a little bit more, would 
probably have had a few more ribbons hanging 
on it. They all said it could easily be 2nd day 
champ.’’—Beulah Fortnam. 

New York: ‘“‘Wedgwood was adorable and 
Poet’s Dream about the most beautiful in the 
patch which included over 1200 varieties.’’—I. 
H. Houston. 

Iowa: ‘I’m thrilled with Wedgwood espe- 
cially, the cutest little beauty in the whole glad 
world.’’—Foss Heaton. 

South Carolina: ‘You were very generous in 
filling my order and I want you to know that I 
appreciate it very much. All bulbs are of good 
size and appear healthy, as I have learned is 
characteristic of your stock.’—R. M. Dacus, 
M.D. 

Michigan: “I want you to know that your 
gladiolus were the best quality I ever bought 
anywhere. The descriptions in your catalog are 
almost 100% correct as far as performance of 
each variety is concerned. The mixture you 
sent was truly a delight to behold and every 
bulb produced a nice flower spike.’’—Mrs. A. G. 
Kalvin. 
Massachusetts: “‘I received my bulbs on “Fri- 
day the Thirteenth’’ of this month and all bulbs 
were in perfect condition. Thanks for the 
overcount and extras. When it comes to put- 
ting in extras, you sure are Santa Claus.’’— 
Charles J. Vincent. 

Mich.: ‘Just a line to tell you that I’m glad all 
hybridizers do not measure beauty with a yard 
stick. So many people think a glad is not 
beautiful unless it is in the “500’’ class. How 
they can look at glads like Wedgwood and 
4 Poet’s Dream and still feel that way puzzles 
Spic and Span me.”—Fred Fillmore. 

kk *k (460) (Baerman, 1938) (85 days) (Red Lory x Picardy) 
Chamouny e e e ¢ (pronounced: Sha-moon-y) Named for a beautiful valley 
in Switzerland, this glad has a color which suggests the rose drift of a peach orchard at 
the foot of a snowy mountain peak. The silver picotee edge is intriguing. Chamouny 
es ee, grows short, but lots of water will overcome this deficiency. Pictured on 
ack cover.

Chief Multnomah Ae (480) (Ellis, 1935) (85 days) A chocolate-brown 
tr er smoky with a striking red blotch. We have cut 
quantities of this richly colored glad for the florists who usually shun smokies. Does well 
in dry weather; makes beautiful bulbs. Needs to be cut as the first floret opens as the 
plants like to lop over in the field.

e s x _* (432) (Fischer, 1944) (85 days) (Picardy x Betty Nuthall

threat. A beautiful color and a flower that will thrive even in hot, dry weather.
