EARLIEST VARIETIES 
(1948 Season) 
We have always been interested in growing and hybridizing early- 
blooming glads, particularly those with commercial cut flower possibilities. 
The following are varieties we use for first-early cutting, or of which 
in some cases we intend to work up a stock for that purpose. These all 
bloomed in 70 days or less in a special test plot planted May 10. Of course 
for extra early bloom we plant in March or April, getting many in 
bloom during late June.

bulbs; I am very pleased, keep me on your mailing list.”
