THE MOST POPULAR 
For the past three years I have kept a record of the most popular glads according to the 
number of people ordering bulbs from my exhibit at the Los Angeles Co. Fair. This list is not 
altogether reliable as some varieties were not displayed at all while some were displayed part of 
the time and some all of the time. However, many varieties that were displayed all of the 
time sold few bulbs while some that were displayed only a few times were able to make the 
most popular list. For example, Voo Doo and Burma were not shown enough, maybe 3 or 4 
days out of 17. It’s an outstanding glad that sells for over $1.00 per bulb and still makes the 
list. Such a Glad is Ruffled Ebony. When Copper Luster and Vanisle are shown they will also 
make the popularity list hands down. Why Uhu makes it Ill never know. Flying Fortress 
rated No. 6 this year but was only displayed a few days. d Wis. 
The only way you can have beautiful and novelty glads is to plant the proper varieties. 
Just any glad bulbs won't do it.

SQUAW CORN 
If you like to have something really good 
for fall decorations, grow some improved 
Squaw Corn. This is far ahead of any 
Squaw Corn I have ever heard of. The stalks 
grow to 13 feet tall. The ears are up to 16 
inches long and have 16 to 20 rows of corn 
each. Some of the ears are completely black, 
while others are red, bronze, striped ker- 
nels, and many colors on one ear, ete. It’s a 
lot of fun and interesting.
