Under no consideration can we return to you more 
than the purchase price plus the postage. 
You, who have been raising glads for years, will 
readily see the advantage of this plan over all othe 
plans for the purchasing of new varieties. 
You, who are just starting on the great adventure o! 
erowing America’s favorite flower, can buy the very 
latest styles in glads with complete assurance that if 
they don’t do well in your own garden you won't be out 
a single penny. 
Try this new plan; you will like it. We are going to 
have a heap of satisfaction next November I, in return- 
ing good hard dollars to the skeptics of this brand new 
system. That is we'll return the money if they want it. 
ORDER EARLY 
A word to the wise 1s sufficient. Stocks of our 1950 and 
1951 introductions may not be large cnough to fill all 
the orders received under this system. We will fill the 
orders in the sequence received as long as stocks, which 
we believe to be adequate having been set aside for this 
purpose, are available. 
1951 RELEASES 
TWO releases for this year, both have proved excel- 
lent commercials in Michigan and Indiana. 
EMBERS — Arnett — Class 490. Parents—(IRS 
xP), x Chance. Which means the mother came from an 
intensely ruffled seedling x Picardy; and the father 
might have been the milk man, or some other glad 
pollen. Papa didn’t leave his name, we don’t know hin. 
A gladiolus expert in Indiana said Embers should be 
put in class 490 for the simple reason that it is a Corona 
in a different color combination. To the florists it is a 
red, a new red that appeals to them above all others. 
Embers is not only different from Corona in colo 
combination, it is extremely healthy in foliage and 
bulb. 
EMBERS will get up to 50”, but isn’t the tallest glad 
in the field. It gives plenty of stem under its 25” flower 
head. It will produce up to 20 buds, not 30 or more as 
we have heard about, and it doesn’t open more than 8 
florets at a time. 
EMBERS comes along early enough to get the high 
prices that early varieties command, but isn’t the first 
variety to bloom in the garden. Embers likes to bloom 
from large bulbs, medium bulbs, small bulbs, and 
bulblets. The only spikes we had at show time were 
from bulblets—it is that early.
