The home pictured here was built by the owner of our nursery, about a year and a 
half ago, and is situated about fifty feet from the seedling rows, where we can dash out 
in the morning and enjoy the freshness of the flowers. It is about four or five blocks from 
the nursery headquarters, and many people drive in at the house to buy flowers and 
evergreens. It is great fun to live out there away from the turmoil and dust of the city. 
Our Opinion of Varieties 
In our test garden we planted very few white glads, but there was one very out- 
standing large white LADY ANNE, that we believe is going to be heard from quite 
often in the shows, when better known. WHITE CHALLENGE from our older bulbs, 
was excellent again. WHITE CHRISTMAS did not maintain past performances. SUM- 
MER SNOW, the smooth little white was again very fine. 
In the cream class, we rated MT. INDEX and ORIENTAL PEARL as two of our 
leaders. SPARKS, with the striking blotch is a great favorite here, and has made our 
“Top Fifteen” class, strictly on popularity. We had a large planting, and the small 
bulbs of SPARKS made excellent spikes. LEADING LADY probably will remain the 
commercial leader. 
We do not grow many yellow glads- SPOTLIGHT is probably the most popular, 
with CYNTHIA and AUTUMN GOLD following close. MOTHER KADEL is our old 
reliable for florist sales. PERDITA is a gay little show winner in her class, but we 
like a little more “glad” for every day. 
This was a great season for SUNSPOT and we had a good stock of them for fall 
flower trade. It was very popular. SUSQUEHANNA earried the florists load, and 
PACTOLUS lead the bouquet sales, here. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE and ORANGE GOLD are our two favorite orange glads, 
altho the former misplaces rather badly. It’s color is very fine. TROCADERO and 
GRATITUDE fill in for bouquets, etc. ORANGE GOLD produced huge spikes all thru 
the late season. 
A glad does not have to sell for $5 per bulb to get to the head of a class in our 
gardens. We paid about that price for a start in SPIC & SPAN, and that variety is 
still the top salmon for us. We could not get any stretch in LADY WAYNE, with a 
great growing year. SPIC & SPAN was up to our eyebrows and always fine spikes. 
We tossed out the great GENGHIS KHAN a couple of years ago because of poor bulbs. 
We believe we found a lot of fine scarlets in our fields this year. We grow 
thousands of DIEPPE (sometimes rated salmon) and have never seen finer blooms 
of any variety. Next in line was RED WING, and we believe it will eventually lead 
this class in a big way. TARRAWA and RED RASCAL were glorious glads in our 
field this year. MOUNTAIN GEM was nice with three or four open, could stand a 
couple more. :
