GREETINGS, FRIENDS: 
/ 
Thanks again for past favors; they were deeply appreciated. At this time we would like 
to make a few comments on some of the varieties grown by us this past season. 
Ankara, with its tall, wine spike; Mansoer; Grand Monarch: Uncle Tom; and Black 
Panther; these were very much admired. All are in the dark shades and all are very co 
cut flowers. 
Light shades of red that were also very much admired and that are good flowers were: 
Dieppe, Gracie Allen, Intruder, Johan Van Seis at Kardinal Spellman, and Harry 
Hopkins. We consider excellent. 
We have added a number of yellows to our stock the past few seasons. Among these are: 
Debutante, Gold Rod, Mother Kadel, Nugget, Orion, Primrose Princess, and Yellow Herald. 
We have just named a few here but there are many others. 
Now in the orchids or lavender shade there is Century which looks good and is some what 
of the shade of Lavender Prince; Gay Lady; Lavender Prince; Patrician, somewhat on the style 
of the clearest Minuett. Sibony and Elizabeth the Queen in the light lavender shades were 
very much admired. 
In the whites and cream-whites of course Leading Lady, without question, is still tops with 
us; although Canopus and Sprindrift are somewhat larger. 
In the different shades of orange, we have added a number of American and foreign vari- 
eties. We believe Aunt Lea, which is a sport of High Finance, to be outstanding in this shade. 
Other new varieties in this class are: Daphne,-Daisy Mae, Picton, Orange-Ade, and Evening Bells. 
In the pink shades, first of all Leeuwenhorst; Lovely Lady; Miss Wisconsin, rosé-pink; 
Rosea, Rosa, and Rose Delight also were very much admired. Sophia, with its beautiful 
carmine throat; and W. J. Darker. | 
Odd colors, such as Misty Dawn, Uhu, Buckeye Bronze, and High Finance were very 
much admired. 
Among the pastel eee there were Deborah Sampson, General Eisenhower, Lipstick, 
Odette Sansom. 
These are just a few that come to my mind at this time. There are many others that were 
outstanding and perhaps better than those I have mentioned. 
We are going to offer a few Do’s and Don’ts for your Glad Garden. 
First: open package as soon as received. Examine your bulbs, and, if you are not ready 
to plant, store them in your vegetable cellar, or a place where it is not too warm or too cold. 
After your soil has been prepared in the Spring of the year, furrow out your rows and scatter cn 
in the bottom of the trench, a good Commercial fertilizer such as 4-12-4, 4-8-10, or 5-10-10 or ae it 
any other good Commercial fertilizer, that is available in your community. Mix well with the . 
soil, setting large bulbs about five inches deep, and five inches apart, other size bulbs in ‘pro; Ay 
portion, with the smallest about two inches deep, and two inches apart. All Glad bulbs must ‘a 
be dipped before planting, in order to kill any thrips or disease that may be on them. We use 
Lysol. One and one-half tablespoonful per gallon of water. Soak bulbs. Ae hours ae before
