FOREWORD—Please Read 
We have harvested the finest crop of bulbs ever, and 
can assure you bulbs of the very best quality. If for 
ANY reason, you are not highly pleased with what we 
send you, we HOPE you will let us know at once and we 
will gladly do everything possible to adjust matters. 
You will note we have dropped quite a few we listed 
last year, but have added some fine new ones in their 
place. We honestly believe every one we have listed is 
one of real merit, and many are outstanding. Please 
look them over carefully before you order. 
OUR OWN INTRODUCTIONS 
CHINOOK. (532 class). This one leads the parade. It 
is a pure, rich, clear salmon with no markings. A real 
sensation. Grows nearly six feet tall, and always 
straight. Opens 9-11 6” lightly ruffled florets with plenty 
more showing color. Holds its size to the last bud. An 
extra good keeper. Production and germination good. 
A basket of Chinook is really breath-taking. It will win 
the blue in any competition. It will be in great demand 
soon. Better get a start now. Prices: L., $2.50, 3 for $6.00; 
M., $2.00, 3 for $5.00; S., $1.50, 3 for $4.00; Blts., 15 for 
$2.00. Special growers’ units on request. Write for them. 
Don Henderson of Iowa writes: “The Chinook bulb 
gave me two fine spikes. Both were entered in our state 
Glad show at Waterloo (1949). One placed first in its 
color class, the other 2nd, in recent introductions. 
Everyone was impressed by the clarity of its color.” 
Mr. Wesselman, of Canada, writes: “My, what a glad. 
I believe it could be called sensational. Height, 60”, 
flower head 30”, florets 7” with 9 open on a 24 bud spike. 
Perfect facing and placement.” 
Wendall H. Keen, of California, writes: “It is in my 
opinion, the greatest glad introduced since Picardy. It 
out-performed anything in my entire patch. It was sen- 
Saar to say the least. 24 buds, 10 open, 9 showing 
color. 
“Again I say, it is truly a wonderful Glad anyone 
should be proud to have.” 
Chinook has won a number of firsts, and at least three 
divisional championships this year. This is a remarkable 
record when one considers that none of those who won 
had but a very few bulbs. When stock gets more plen- 
tiful they will really be doing some winning. This is 
also true of LaValle, Nellie Lou, and the rest of my 
introductions. 
Dr. Cason of Tenn., writes (’49): “Chinook, the most 
robyst grower in our entire patch; 28” head, 18 buds, 6 
open. Smooth deep salmon pink with absolutely no 
flecking. Slightly ruffled. Very favorably impressed.” 
John H. Keiser of Indiana writes (1950): “In my 
opinion, Chinook is about the greatest Glad to date. Had 
one that would have placed in any show. 30” flower head 
and perfect in every way, but too late for show.” 
Joe Wood, Yakima, Wash. (1950) writes: ‘Your La- 
Valle, Chinook and Nellie Lou, are honeys and no 
mistake.” 
In the 1950 NEGS. Yearbook, page 77 you will see 
Mr. Chas. Larus lists Chinook, LaValle, and Nellie Lou 
among the 10 best of the 1949 releases. 
This August I took one spike each of Chinook, LaValle, 
Nellie Lou, and Rose Plume to Yakima, Washington, 
376 miles. Won three Blues and one Red. And LaValle 
was judged the best recent introduction. Mr. Merrin, 
Olympia, Washington, in the Amateur class, won first 
on LaValle and Keefer. His spike of Keefer would have 
won first in any show.
