+ PERSONAL COLLECTION 
Again we shall offer what we feel are the 10 best glads in commerce. This collection was offered 
last year and the response was terrific—the many fine letters and cards we received from customers 
throughtout the blooming season telling of what wonderful flowers they were blooming convinces us 
that these really are about the “10 best”. 
Probably no other group of ten varieties have to their credit as many blue ribbons and champion- 
ship ribbons as have these. Elizabeth the Queen has been the “King” at more shows than probably 
any other one variety, with Spic & San and Noweta Rose close seconds. Aureole is still our very best 
yellow. Friendship can win friends anywhere as can Burma. 
Because these varieties do well any where we can recommend them above all others for being 
the most reliable and consistant performers under nearly all weather, soil and planting conditions.
