TODAY’S MOST POPULAR GLADS 
Below are two lists of glads according to the way they were ordered at the Los Angeles 
County Fair, according to the per cent of people ordering each variety. From these lists you 
can tell which glads were best liked. You will note quite a difference in varieties between the 
two years. This is due to several reasons. 
I sold all of my Braga last yar so didn’t have any to exihibit this year. I didn’t exhibit 
Ataturk last year. When Ace of Spades gets cheaper it will be more popular than either 
Braga or Ataturk. However, for me, I like Ruffled Ebony best. It isn’t as black, but much 
more beautiful. I didn’t have any to show but I am sure if I had it would have rated high. 
Margaret Peters’s stock is so low that I will have to withhold it for a couple of years. No 
Carnival or Dusty Miller to show this year either. Crown Jewel, Elmers Rose, Noweta Rose, 
Columbia and Persian Rug would have rated much higher if the price had been less. Many 
people won’t pay more than 25c per bulb. Looking ahead, I am sure that when Crimson Glow 
gets down to 50c or less per bulb it will stand at the head of the list or close to the top for 
several years. Personally I can’t see what anyone sees in Uhu, Grey Summit, Green Light or 
Extremest, but I hear many people say they are the most beautiful glads they ever saw. 
Personally, my favorites are Elmers Rose, Noweta Rose, King David, Elizabeth the Queen, 
Crimson Glow, Mother Fischer, Ruffled Ebony, Columbia, Connecticut Yankee, Mighty Monarch 
and Burma.
