KEEFER (Lines) 478 class. Here is a mighty inter- 
esting deep blue, bordering slightly on the purple side. 
Possibly the largest of the blues. Easily a leader in 
its class. Flecks some in hot weather, but still is a great 
favorite, especially with the ladies. Opens 9 or more 
51” florets on a nice long spike, with all the rest show- 
ing color. The buds are simply beautiful just before 
they open. Almost an Indigo blue and just like velvet. 
As they open they turn lighter in color. A great exhibi- 
tion Glad. Scored 80 in the R. I. Trial Gardens. An 
extra early bloomer. L—$2.00; 3, $5.00. M—$1.50; 3, 
$4.00. S—$1.00; 4, $3.60. Blts., 10—$1.50. 
Bruce Collins, Mich., writes: “Keefer for me is more 
on the purple side, and easily opens 12 florets on a tall 
straight spike. Especially for exhibition. I believe it 
will beat any in commerce. Wish I had some for our 
local shows, it would make the boys sit up and take 
notice.” 
BUFF QUEEN (Lines) This is my only 1950 release. 
It is a very rich orange buff with almost no markings. 
Sometimes it flecks a bit on the edge of the petals, 
which really seems to add to its beauty. Consistently 
grows 5% feet tall, and will hold its florets open in the 
field for days without damage. Opens 10 or more 6” 
florets on a long straight spike. Perfect double row 
placement. Extra good keeper. Have bloomed it five 
years and know it will hold up. Will release only a 
limited amount this year. Personally, I believe it will 
rank right along with my La Valle, Nellie Lou, Chinook, 
and the rest. Take it from me, it is really outstanding. 
Any size blub, $5.00. 
AN ASTOUNDING RECORD 
Mr. Chas. Larus, of Hartford, Conn., each year tries 
out hundreds of new varieties, and in the fall he selects 
what he considers the ten most outstanding ones. To 
get one placed on this list is an honor for any hybridizer. 
Please look up this list in the 1950 NEGS yearbook. 
You will see he has placed La Valle, Nellie Lou, and 
Chinook, all three in this list, of the ten best 1949 intro- 
ductions. 
This should be proof enough of their quality and 
ability to win in any competition. These are not new, 
untried seedlings. I have bloomed them at least five 
years, and they seem to get better each year. Enough 
said. If you want to win, get La Valle, Nellie. Lou, 
Chinook, Rose Plume, Buff Queen, and Keefer. Each one 
will win in its class. They are priced within the reach 
of any Glad fan. 
PREMIUM BULBS 
On an order for $5.00 or more, I will include one bulb 
of either Diadem or Keefer, free. Your choice. 
On a $10.00 order two (2) bulbs of Diadem or Keefer, 
or one of each. Your choice. 
On a $15.00 order, one bulb of either La Valle, Nellie 
Lou, Chinook, or Rose Plume. Your choice. 
On a $25.00 order two (2) bulbs, one of La Valle, 
Chinook, or Rose Plume. Your choice. 
Note.—It is not my intention to cut prices on anyone, 
but getting out a price list as early as I do, it is almost 
impossible to find the prevailing price on all the varie- 
ties. Where I cannot find out the price, I price them 
according to the stock I have. 
Practically all the stock listed here has been grown 
from bulblets, or very small bulbs, thus assuring plenty 
of vigor. I am dividing my list into two classes—A and 
B. A will include the newer and higher priced ones; 
B, the older varieties that are priced lower.
