Hlew Flames in the Gladland Catalog 
Many of our “fan” customers check first our listings of added varieties. This year 
there are 117 new names in our total list of 604. For your convenience we tabulate these 
below, and you may find their detailed descriptions easily in their color class. 
Of the 117 new names, 31 have, to the best of our knowledge, never been cataloged 
in the U. S. prior to this year, thus they will be rated as 1950 introductions. Many of 
the foreign releases offered in bulblets only are just as new to us as they will be to you— 
and the descriptive data used has been supplied by our overseas friends who recom- 
mended them. The highlights seem to us as follows of these 31: U. S. introductions, 
Pharoah, Flame Girl and Magic Wand. From Australia, Avenue of Honor, Mrs. F. S. 
Swanton and Blue Giant. From Europe, Tobruck (Pfitzer’s) by far the most beautiful and 
attractive black we have yet seen, and Huahina the “different” dark orange. Watch 
Gosling’s Vioblue, Red Dragon and Manya. 
Of the 1948 and 1949 introductions of foreign releases — which we list for the first 
time — are some very noteworthy glads. All of these, of course, we have seen. Autumn 
Beauty is very colorful. Kelley’s Scarlet Giant was outstanding. Mauvie Rose rates high. 
Barrett’s were fine. As a matter of fact, most of those added passed a two year test at 
Gladland Acres with flying colors. Of necessity we had to discard some of our old 
favorites to make room for these newcomers. 
We were particularly anxious to find new smokies of distinction. We added 10 
that smoky fans will like. Most beautiful is the oldest variety of the group, Errey’s Grey 
Dawn. We are thrilled that we stumbled on to this one. 
In the miniature section we are reviving some oldtimers — frankly not as good as 
some of the new types — but still very attractive — and priced so that our customers can 
afford to buy them in sufficient quantities to make practical use of them in arrangements.
