Nebraska: ‘‘Your introductions certainly stand 
out in the glad patch. It is hard to know where 
to start in listing favorites but Nordic Queen, 
Crown Jewel, Elmer’s Rose, White Lace, and 
Lavender Lace were among the very best.’’— 
E. P. Schraeder. 
Iowa: “I’ve certainly fallen hard for Pink 
Chiffon. It’s extremely beautiful. We have 
many beautiful glads but Pink Chiffon belongs 
in a different realm of beauty, and it has all 
the good points besides.’—Foss Heaton. 
Washington: ‘Lavender Lace was the talk of 
the neighborhood for the second summer. My 
favorite by far. Always perfect, always beauti- 
fol Vins Pe Ge smiths 
California: ‘‘Nordic Queen—I’m a Dane— 
she’s my Queen.’’—Richard Nielson. 
Minnesota: ‘And Nordic Queen—I bought 
for my French-Nordic wife, and its one choice 
almost as good as when I ‘picked’ her!’’—W. F. 
Murphy. 
Oregon: “Fire Opal is my choice of your 
1954 introductions. I could find no fault with 
it at all—it’s the most beautiful orange I’ve 
seen. Rosario was very fine, too, (and between 
the two of us, Elmer’s Rose is far lovelier than 
Noweta Rose, tho’ both are good.) Chivalry is 
unmarked—something I’ve wanted for years in 
a lavender. I like Crusader much. But my pet 
is Crown Jewel.’’—Timberland Gardens. 
This "inverted hat" shaped bowl 
with its wide rim and depressed 
crown solves the problem of using 
figurines that are not supposed to 
be in water. Our nice summer 
grouping is composed of dainty 
STARLET glads with white caladium 
leaves and three young birds, to 
give life and action to the grouping. 
A bamboo base gives width. Note 
how the green markings in the foli- 
age pick up the green of the bowl, 
thus making a more unified color 
grouping.
