ADORABLE (K & M) 406-80 
An utterly charming sulphur cream shading to an 
amber with a creamy throat blotch. Blooms are 
slightly ruffled and buds are greenish. These green- 
ish buds and deep cream blooms produce a very 
beautiful color effect. It opens eight on a very tall 
stem. Good placement and attachment of its 20 
buds. This is the best real cream variety we have 
seen.

ANDRENA (Armstrong 50) 460-85 
This is certainly one of our most beautiful glads.

center. It opens 7 or 8 ruffled florets of good size 
on sturdy straight spikes. Propagation and ger- 
mination are very good.

HOW TO READ PRICES 
At the end of the description of each variety appears prices for Large (L), Medium (M), and Small (S) Bulb. Bulblets 
(Blbt.) In some cases the letter has only one price after it meaning that is the price for one bulb, of that size and 
variety. For instance, under Anne Sherman appears (L 1-.50) (M 1-.35) etc. This means that one large bulb costs 
.50 cents, a medium .35 cents. Also that 8 bulblets cost .25 cents, etc. 
Sometimes the base price is given for 2 or more bulbs, meaning that not less than that number is sold. For instance, 
Aristocrat (L 2-.30) (M 2-.20) meaning that not less than those quantities are sold. 
You may buy 10 bulbs of any size and variety for 8 times the single bulb price and 5 can be bought at one-half the 
ARISTOCRAT (Salman 50) 464-85 
Here is a sure winner in its class. A huge purplish 
wine-red that opens 6-8 on very tall spikes. This 
is the tallest glad we have. Has leathery textured 
florets. A must for all show fans. Very healthy 
bulb producer. 
(L 2-.30; 10-1.20) (M 2-20; 10-.80) 
(S 5-.25; 10-.40) (Blbts. 25-.20; 100-.60) 
ATLANTIC (B & P 46) 422-75 
Once again, Atlantic performed well. In the field 
we saw spike after spike of tall, straight flower- 
heads with as many as 8 open. The florets were 
a large vivid red-orange, bordering on coral. On 
the show table this variety is going to be hard to 
beat. 
(L 2-.30; 10-1.20) (M 3-.25; 10-70) 
ATTITASH (Kelly 49) 461-85 
This one is really different and in my opinion the 
best novelty glad. A very tall, rosy lavender with 
a small white blotch. It opens 7, 4% to 5 inch 
florets on a 20 bud spike. Try this one. 
(L 1-.25; 10-2.00) (M 2-.30; 10-1.20) 
(S 10-.80) (Blbts. 25-.20; 100-.60) 
BARBARA B. (Van Voorhis 52) 462-75 
Bright medium rose with large white throat blotch. 
It has a 22 inch flowerhead with 7 open on a 20 
bud spike. The 5-inch florets are firmly attached. 
If you like novelty glads, | am certain you will like 
this one. 
(L 1-.75) (M_ 1-.50) 
(S 1-.25) (Blbts. 10-.75; 100-6.00) 
BLACK CHERRY (Rich 48) 554-85 
Tall dark red, that grows 50 inches or more. Flower- 
heads are 24 inches in length and carry 18 to 20 
buds. Opens 6-8 inch blooms. A heavy show 
winner and a good increaser. 
(L 1-.30; 10-2.40) (M 1-.20; 10-1.60) 
(S 2-.25; 10-1.00) (Blbts. 10-.20; 100-1.50) 
BLACK JOE (Flad 54) 554-70 
The imperial potentate of your glad garden. You 
will find Black Joe to be early on the job with its 
20 buds and 8 florets opened which are splendidly 
ruffled. A rather unusual dark red with a floures- 
cent overtone and a silver edging. Does not sun- 
burn and is one of the finest earlies. We rate this 
highly.
