OUR 1950 INTRODUCTIONS 
We have purchased the entire stock of the following varieties: 
532—SPARKLE (Allen-Ruble) 78 
This was Allen’s seedling K-41 and has make quite a name for itself. Here 
is a report,from Connecticut. J. R. Larus says, ‘We had 6 bulbs, cut 3 spikes for 
the West Massachusetts show on August 7. Was given award of merit. All 
spikes had perfect placement without flecking."’ As with all glads, different 
soils and different parts of the country, the results differ. Here are the two faults 
found with this glad. Some flecking, lower floret sometimes misplaced. 
We like Sparkle better than Spic and Span because it is larger, has more 
snap or sparkling sheen. Opens well in water. 
N.A.G.C. trial grounds give Sparkle a fair to good report. Colcr comment 
fair to good, beautifully ruffled, rich. ? 
The color is pinkish salmon, florets 5¥2 to 7% inches ruffled, opens 6 to.8 
on a 18 to 22 bud spike that is always straight. Flowerhead 26 to 29 inches. 
Height in field 52 to 58 inches, foliage deep green and tall. Plenty of bulblets 
that germinate extra good. 
We have a good stock of this fine glad hence the very ie acieleetele price. 
Any size bulb $2.00. Cne bulb and 10 bulblets $3.50. 
340—PEPPERMINT STICK (Sturtz-Ruble) 80 
This is no world beater but a little dandy for corsage and arrangements. 
Our florists ask for this one. The cclor is white with pink fleckings making it 
resemble a stick of peppermint candy. Hence its name. Opens 4-6 on a 12 
to 16 bud spike.
