PACIFIC SUNSET GARDENS

Hella! 
Glad fans, this is what you might 
call my first glad catalog, and it gives 
me great pleasure in presenting it to 
all glad fans and especially to the 
many friends I met at the shows this 
past summer and the ones I hope to 
meet in the future. My efforts shall 
be towards growing the very choicest 
of the “NEWER VARIETIES” and 
of course the older standbys which 
are worthy varieties. My aim is to 
grow good, clean stock, true to name, 
clear and healthy bulbs. If any are 
found otherwise we will gladly re- 
place or refund your money. Our 
glads are grown on creek bottom soil 
with overhead irrigation and no fer- 
lilizing or forcing is done in any 
way. We have just finished harvest- 
ing a wonderful crop of bulbs. 
In looking over our show record for 
this past year we find our record 
very creditable —four shows, four 
“GRAND CHAMPIONS”. The first 
show we exhibited at was the 
“BOISE VALLEY” at Middleton, 
Idaho; we won with a fine spike of 
“STRATHNAVER’” after eight days 
in the cooler, five hundred miles in 
transportation, then showed in 
(100) degree weather, and it was still 
good enough for someone to pay 
($4.50) at auction for the single 
spike. It can really take it. 
Then next was the show of the year, 
WESTERN INTERNATIONAL at 
Yakima. The Judges said that a 
spike of MID-AMERICA grown by 
PACIFIC SUNSET GARDENS was 
the best in the show. Well, how 
would you feel? I felt just like going 
back next year with even a better 
flower, if possible, to grow. 
From the Yakima show we went to 
the show at Auburn, Washington. 
We had a lovely bloom of “EV AN- 
GELINE” and lo, if it didn’t win the 
GRAND CHAMPION DIVISION 
and BEST RECENT INTRODUC- 
TION in strong competition. 
At the Oregon State Fair and Flower 
Show, “MID-AMERICA” again re- 
peated with GRAND CHAMPION. 
So when you see the name PACIFIC 
SUNSET GARDENS, think of it as 
the HOME OF CHAMPIONS. Our 
business depends wpon your success.
