I am not trying to write your catalog Jim but I just can’t get this Glad out of my 
mind. It affects me just the way I have written about it sort of unreal and impossible. 
I predict that like Conn. Yankee, it will be on top for a long time to come. 
Very truly yours, 
LEO P. T. JACQUES

FROM JOE HARTMAN 
MESA MIST (Hartman) Sport of Pastel 
We need more glads with original color-combinations and this certainly is one of 
them. A plain petaled floret with a bluish toned light grey, shading lighter toward the 
throat area, with an indistinct brush mark on lip petal, holds five to seven open on a 24 
inch flowerhead, growing up to 50 inches tall, The above description was from the 
originator, as it grew here this past summer it was much taller, up to 65 inches tall with 
a 28 inch head. This glad has been the recipient of a lot of favorable comments this past 
summer. Am sure that this. will become popular with show fans, and certainly one for 
road side sales. 
Price: $2.00 any size bulb. Bulblets 10 for $2.00. 
No bulblets sold separately, but you may purchase 10 with each bulb. 
FROM ARTHUR A. ARENIUS (Originator’s description) 
GLAD TIDINGS (Arenius 52) 460 
Seedling 48183 (Conn. Yankee X Fuchsia Belle) 
A clear, soft rose. A beautiful color which we have been watching for the past 
three years. The increase and bulblet growth has been so good that we are putting it on 
the market earlier than had been planned. About 55” to 60” tall, “GLAD TIDINGS” 
grows straight and sturdy and opens 6 to 7. The 5 to 54 inch blooms have perfect double 
row placement. This we think is the finest of the rose colored glads and well worth 
watching. 
Each: Large $5.00 Medium $4.00 Small $3.00 Bulblets 61.00 
PINK PRIDE (Arenius 52) 530 
Seedling 4832 (Miss Wisconsin X Buena Vista) 
A strong growing light rosy salmon of extremely heavy substance. Opens 8 to 9, 
52 to 6” blooms on an 18 to 20 bud flowerhead. Very formal placement of wide open 
blooms. Bulblet production is heavy with good germination and growth, Plant growth is 
unusually husky and healthy, which, along with the heavy texture and strong attach- 
ment of the blooms, should add to its desirability as a cut flower. 
Each: Large $5.00 Medium $4.00 Small $3.00  Bulblets $1.00
