The 10 Best Varieties 
Now listen Hortense, there isn’t any such thing. All varieties have their good 
points and their bad ones. There are many different uses for glads. Some that are the 
‘best for shows are no good for cut flowers and vice-versa. Often the best commercials 
are by no means the most beautiful. Many varieties that are the most beautiful and 
satisfactory for the home garden are not suited for exhibition or as commercials. And 
many times more bulbs are grown for home enjoyment than for shows. Yet in the 
magazines and in other writings glads are usually rated by show standards. 
We try to give as accurate descriptions as possible in the space used. We can’t 
tell you the one best in any color. Best for what? Just read the descriptions and if you 
want further information about any particular variety, drop me a line.
