Which Are the Best Glads? 
No grower can choose a list to suit everyone, altho our own favorite 25 
varieties are listed on another page. Perhaps grouping them into the fol- 
lowing categories will help you choose the best glads for your own parti- 
cular tastes and uses. We are quite sure that not everyone will agree 
with us on some groupings. A particularly easy way to get into an argu- 
ment is to try to list the ‘‘most beautiful,” but here goes:
