FOREWORD 
We appreciate the interest that growers, exhibitors, and hybridizers 
have taken in our introductions. They are listed by a number of cat- 
alogers and are winning many blue ribbons at the shows. It is our 
sincere endeavor to pruduce the best for exhibition and commercial 
work. Most of our varieties are particularly good for hybridizing : 
August Moon, Birch Red, Black Cherry, Bonnie Lass, Bronze King, 
Garden Goid, Garnet Glow and Grapewine have all given excellent 
seedlings. 
We have propagated most of our varieties by selection for several 
years, and this selected stock is disseminated when available. Our 
fields and bulbs are inspected by the N. Y. State Dept. of Agriculture. 
Bulbs are washed and quickly dried after digging, and all are dusted 
with DDT after cleaning. We take great care to furnish the c:eanest, 
healthiest stock possible. We will replace or make an adjustment on 
any stock found not true to name. 
Kodachromes of our glads, seedlings and other flowers are available to 
groups for meetings, etc. There is no charge except for return post- 
age and insurance. Send your requests in early.

FANTASY = 1952 
The new parrot type Glad. Class 440. (Mutation of 
Strutter). 90 days. This is named for its resemblance to the Parrot 
Tulip, Fantasy, as it has a similar combination of coloring and type 
of bloom. It is a beautiful peach pink with chartreuse spurs on the 
back of the petals and these spurs carry their exotic coloring through 
to the front. The texture, fluting, and ruffling is exceptionally 
heavy. The clear, soft, beautiful colors, combined with unusual 24 
hour keeping quality, make Fantasy a dream for corsage and ar- 
rangements. It grows about the same as standard varieties with a 
height of 50”, with a flowerhead of 22”, 5” blooms 16 to 17 buds, and 
opens 6 blooms with 7 in color. The buds are pink at the tip, with 
the base chartreuse, changing to pink as they open. Fantasy’s pollen 
sets seed readily on other varieties; it is prolific and the bulblets 
grow readily. All size bulbs and even bulblets bloom true to type. 
EACH - Large $3.00 - Med. 2.56 - Sm. $2.00 
Bulblets each 30c - 10 for $2.50
