From JOHN FLAD 
AMBER GLORY 
Here’s a wonderful glad which has been truly a “sleeper.” 
The trouble with Mr. Flad is that he has just too many fine 
things in his large seedling planting to be able to feature 
them all. Here is richness of color beyond compare, a beau- 
tiful, deep amber yellow with strawberry throat mark. The 
spikes are exceptionally tall with many buds. Opens only 
about 5, but they're beauties. The spikes are very tall with 
many buds. Commercial growers should try this one as 
its slow opening florets last and last. 
THE PRINCE 1954 (see center spread) 
Reminiscent of the favored old-time Vagabond Prince. A 
great new addition to the few glads of brown coloring. The 
prince is most striking, highly ruffled, easy growing. The 
spikes are tall, straight. Florets, beautifully ruffled, re- 
curved, of heavy substance. Easily opens ten of 22 buds. 
Was introduced with too small a stock. I have only a few 
bulbs which will go to first orders received. If you're a 
lucky one you won't be disappointed in this fine glad. 
GAY 1954 
A commercial lavender with rose spears on lower lip. A 
“Spic and Span” type of spike. Florets medium sized, 
slightly ruffled, nice, self-lavender with slight rose cast. 
Spikes straight as a broom stick with many open florets in 
very formal placement. One spike just like another, just 
like the proverbial ‘peas in a pod.” I know you will 
approve this glad whether growing for exhibition or fov 
cut flowers.

EDGEWOOD 
Edgewood was really a sensation at the shows this year. 
It is one of the most vigorous and healthy glads, although 
the bulbs are a little “tough’’ looking. One the back cover 
you will see a photo of spikes in the field. Spikes up to 
60", 22 buds with many open. Large, ruffled florets. 
Stock is nearly sold for this year, but I have enough to fill 
retail orders. It will win easily in its class at the shows, 
as the accompanying picture will indicate. This spike was 
transported from Madison to Milwaukee during extreme 
heat and photographed the next day, all florets in excellent 
condition. Send your order early. 
L. 1.00, M. 75c, Sm. 50, Bts. 10/1.00, $8 per 100 
QUEEN MARY 
Another most substantial commercial and excellent 
exhibition variety. Robust spikes with 8-10, 6” florets 
open on tall spikes. Color, rich salmon pink. Baskets 
of this at our Jefferson show were simply gorgeous. 
Another variety which every cut flower grower 
should stock, or at least try. You'll find that I’m 
not bluffing you. 
L. 75c, M. 50c, Sm. 25c, Bts. 10/75c, 
100/6.00. $3.00 any size. Bts. 35 each
