Shake hands, customers. You have been a real asset 
in keeping us in the running and we are sorry space will not 
allow more of this chat. 
Many of you had drought troubles in which we really 
can sympathise as our growing seas)n, according to weath- 
er records, was claimed to be the driest summer on record 
for this section. This coupled with a long, wet planting 
season cut down on our planting. Our bulbs though are sur- 
prisingly good even after taking such a beating. We failed 
to get several varieties planted at all, so our list is much 
smaller than it should be. The worst snag we have ever run 
into. Can only hope for more rain in 1954.

GLAMOROUS X TERRIFIC 
(About 75 days) .. . Sdlg, X X-102. Pastel salmon but 
plenty of color. Big cream blotch with short orange fan in 
throat. Has never shown any flecking and stands all weath- 
er conditions. Light ruffling and fluting. 4 inch floret, 13 
or more open, 22 buds, 8 in color, 28-inch head, 60 inches 
overall, extra strong attachment, very strong stem, excel- 
lent blt, producer of strong germination though bits, are 
not large. Foliage fairly tall, narrow, upright, dark green 
and healthy. 
We predict that this glad will surely do a lot of win- 
ning and has all the earmarks of a top commercial coupled 
with early blooming. 
The illustration on front cover was made from a koda- 
chrome from the first spike to ever bloom so we had only 
one choice and probably should have pulled the first flor- 
et which came sideways, but we did wish to show that it 
would open 13. A real acquisition in color, type and per- 
formance. You cannot afford to pass this beauty and to 
give all our customers the opportunity we are introducing 
it far below its real value. No. 6 bulbs per each $1.00; Bits. 
each .25 or 10 for $2.00.
