TWINKLES (Butt 748) 233 (EB). One of the most striking and eye-catching of 
all the small glads is this brilliant salmon-scarlet with broad yellow center. It 
has been reported that the judges at last summer’s Texas show liked it well 
enough to award it the Grand Championship of the show—surely an honor for 
a small variety! It also won a sectional championship at Le Roy, Illinois; best 
arrangement at Lima, New York, and ‘‘Most Ruffled” glad, Central Interna- 
tional. Twinkles will open six or seven narrow-petaled, nicely ruffled florets of 
metal-like substance on well-proportioned spikes. It is perhaps our personal 
favorite of all the little glads; believe you will like it, too. 
L. 35, M .25, S .20, Bulblets 10—.25. 
WEDGWOOD (Fischer 747) 366 (E). Always a best-seller, we never have 
enough stock of Wedgwood to last out the season. A beautiful medium-small 
bluish lavender with a large creamy white center. Often best in its section at 
the shows, as it was in 1952 at Lansing, Michigan, and West Virginia. 
M 2—.20, S 5—.25, Bulblets 25—.25. 
WHITE LACE (Fischer ’51) 300 (EK). A very lovely creamy-white with excep- 
tionally beautiful floret form and heavy ruffling. There are no markings to 
detract from its chaste beauty. Florets measure very close to 3% inches—it 
might be classed either as a medium or a small glad, but since it shows some 
of the characteristics of the small varieties, we are including it in this section 
of our list. About the only small white glad that has appealed to us. It opens 
six florets on nice spikes. Fast propagator. We note sectional or divisional cham- 
pionships for White Lace last summer at Coloma, Michigan, and Edwards- 
ville, Illinois. 
M 2—.25, S 3—.25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
““T have seen BOISE BELLE, SUN SPOT, and WHITE GODDESS, and 
am pleased to report that they grow excellently over here, being very 
healthy and vigorous, and are taking their share of the honours.’’ 
—H.M.H., Sydney, Australia 
**We were spellbound when we saw BERMUDA for the first time. It is 
the most beautiful glad I’ve ever seen. I purchased bulbs from five firms 
this year, and yours out-performed them all.’’ 
—A.W.P., New York, 11/10/52 
“In total number of: major awards—Grand Champion, Reserve 
Champion, Second Day Champ, and Sectional Champ—SUN SPOT now 
leads all other glads I have ever grown.”’ —J. Howard Cook, N.Y. 
“T have just finished digging my bulbs, and the bulbs produced from 
your bulblets are the finest I have.’’ —J.W.T., California, 11/17/52 
Be sure to examine your bulbs carefully when you receive them. Last year 
we had two or three reports which indicated that bulbs were frozen in transit— 
in each case the buyer did not recognize the damage, planted them, and then 
wondered why they did not grow. If bulbs should be received in a soft or spongy 
condition, discolored, or have an unpleasant odor, they have probably been 
frozen or over-heated—the symptoms are rather similar—in shipping. Some 
U.S. mail employees are not as careful with perishables as they might be. We 
will replace or refund for any bulbs not received in good condition, but we cannot 
do so if we do not know about it.
