Dear Glad Friend: 
We are pleased to offer you our 1951 Descriptive Wholesale List for your con- 
sideration. 
We have listed here many of the leading cut flower and show glads as well as 
a good selection of the recent introductions. 
Included in this list are four of our own seedlings. Golden Crown, our 1950 in- 
troduction, has been well received. It rated in the N. A.G.C. Symposium as one of 
the ten best 1950 introductions. 
We feel that our 1951 introductions have a promising future as commercials as 
they all have fine clean colors and are easy growers. 
In our descriptions the number following the name of the variety is the N.A.G.C. 
class number. This is followed by the name of the Originator or Introducer and the 
year of introduction. The last number is the approximate number of days to bloom 
from large bulbs. Verly early planting or smaller sizes of bulbs will require addi-

ECHO, A sport of E. C. Cole. We selected this sport because it has three qual- 
ifications lacking in E. C. Cole: 1, its color is a cleaner shade of pink with- 
out flecking; 2, it blends into a creamy white throat without blotch or 
markings and 3, it stands up better in the field. In other respects this 
sport is identical with E. C. Cole.
