HI ! 
That granddaughter of yours must be a precocious gal! I 
just cut a Jini Marie from a bulblet planted on May 17 — 5 inch 
blooms, 7 open on a 46 inch spike and 23 inch flowerhead. And 
that grew up without irrigation and with the bugs running wild. 
Had another spike two weeks ago almost as good. Planted four 
bulblets and have four strong healthy plants. 
Sincerely, 
REV. ARMIN C. MUNZ

about 40 years of growing glads, you will know he isn’t
