A New Glad 
Strongheart 
Although we grow many seedlings ev- 
ery year, and carry over those that show 
good qualities until we have bloomed 
bulblets from the mother bulb, it is a 
case of many called but few chosen. A 
new one must have something distinctive 
if we are to grow it. Too darned many 
‘just good” children being offered by 
over-enthusiastic originators. 
Strongheart is thus named because of 
its strong growing qualities and color. If 
you like pastel shades only, try some- 
thing else like Lalonie, Lindura, Phantom 
Beauty or other fine kinds. If you like 
’em tall and with coloring that stands 
out, try Strongheart. 
Strongheart is disease resistant, an 
easy propagator and very early bloomer. 
Grows to 60 inches tall with 20 to 22 buds 
and eight open. They face one way — 
looking right at you. 
Color is deep rose with purplish tones, 
lighter in throat. Lowers carry large very 
deep plum red feather. Early planted 
bulblets have produced four flower 
spikes. 
No prizes—never entered in show-com- 
petition. Because it is Stronghearted 
price is only $1.50 for large and $1.00 for 
medium bulbs. Six at five times single 
price. 
Fine Glad Bulhs 
Anyone with a patch. of fairly good 
soil can grow fine glads at small cost. 
Work the soil deeply, plant as early as 
possible and all three sizes of bulbs. Soak 
the bulbs for three to six hours in a solu- 
tion made by dissolving one tablespoon 
of Lysol in one gallon of water and plant 
immediately after taking bulbs out of dip. 
High quality is never expensive is 
especially true when buying bulbs and 
plants. “Bargains” in these items too of- 
ten means disappointment. Patronize 
firms with an established reputation for 
reliability. 
Sizes. Large (L) bulbs are from 1% to 
2 inches in diameter. Mediums, % to 14 
inches. Smalls more than one-half inch. 
Our experience shows large sizes pro- 
duce as good spikes as do jumbos, bulbs 
larger than 2% inches. We have Jumbos 
at same price as large, only you should 
add one cent per bulb to pay extra post- 
age. 
Prices. In all cases 2—20c; 5—40c; etc., 
means two or more bulbs of one (not 
several) varieties for the price quoted. 
In the following list where price is not 
quoted following discription, prices are
