1955 INTRODUCTIONS 
YES, THERE ARE COUNTLESS THRILLS, growing and evaluating 453 seedlings, 
from perhaps 125 hybridizers, but it is also a tremendous job, both physically and mentally. 
Every single morning, from about July 15th, to September 15th, I am up at 6:00 A.M., 
note-book in hand, measuring tape, pencils, etc., catching the new things as they open. 
Writing them down, rechecking them, cutting some of the spikes, testing them for opening 
qualities, for handling, and then reporting to their owners as to their performance. 
We do not accept our own check, but also compare notes on the same seedlings, with 
such fine judges as Mike Sherman (He writes the glad story for Flower Grower), Beulah 
Fortnam, Sydney Mode, and others well known to glad fans. If the performance of that 
seedling compares favorably with ours, then we see about introduction. This list may 
look big to YOU, but it looks very SMALL to ME. After going over so many hundreds 
of them, and finally sifting them down to this small number, all of which are NEW, 
DIFFERENT, and MARVELOUS glads. Sooooooh? Here they are:
