“We have had an exceptionally hot and dry season 
this summer, so, many glads were not up to par in 
spite of all the watering one could do; in fact this has 
been my poorest season. However, I did have beauti- 
ful spikes from your Snowdrift and Pink Diamond .. . 
Pink Diamond is a ‘knockout’—beyond words in beau- 
ty. It was the first to come up this Spring, had the 
heaviest and tallest foliage, and had those tall, straight 
heavy spikes. In fact it is the most prolific grower of 
all the hundred or so varieties that I have. Snowdrift 
was my best white, and with its intense ruffling, it 
takes your breath. It, too, has nice growing habits.” 
—O. H. Witt. Nebraska. 
“Pink Diamond gave me beautiful spikes, tall and 
straight as an arrow.’ —W. Jay Dittman, Michigan. 
“Your seedling 269-47 (Snowdrift) was very out- 
standing. In fact probably the best thing we had in the 
new ones. Fortunately the two bulbs bloomed a week 
apart and scored 86 at the Detroit Show and the other 
was best seedling at the Michigan State Show and 
barely missed being Grand Champ. Everyone at both 
shows was quite impressed with it. It should be out- 
standing among the new whites.” 
“Tf I were to pick a favorite it would be Pink Dia- 
mond. I consider this to be a definite improvement 
over C. D. Fortnam. It was much healthier in my 
garden and the color was also much clearer . . . Mother 
Fischer grew like Kingpins, all were beautiful spikes. 
Pink Chiffon is truly an elegant glad. It’s hard to be- 
lieve that any flower can look so delicate and yet be 
so rugged. Rosario was very nice with its 20 buds 
with 9 open. Of the named varieties I got from you. 
Ruffled Ebony was by far the most impressive. For 
sheer beauty there is nothing like it.” 
—Donald Stevens, Massachusetts 
“Ruffled Ebony is absolutely ‘the’ black glad, the 
sheen is terrific, and it should be a “must” in every 
glad garden.” —Mrs. Grant Reava, Michigan. 
“Ruffled Ebony—The corm you sent was so large 
and vigorous, that due to the late planting developed a 
sprout about four inches long and as large as a finger, 
then put off a side shoot before planting. Had never 
done this before, but cut bulb and planted two halves, 
and had two very tall straight ruffled beauties. They 
were about shoulder high, and the only possible thing 
I could have desired from this corm—was that it have 
larger florets (I am partial to the large and very small 
ones). It is indeed a beautiful red.” 
—L. E. “Teake” Kerns, Pennsylvania. 
“T have planted your bulbs for 4 or 5 years and they 
are wonderful bulbs and true to color. I’m very fond 
of Elmer’s Rose.” 
—Mrs. K. J. Scott, Iowa. 
Clematis Mandshurica, rhubarb foliage, and the 
vibrant glow of tiny RUBY glads in a dull black bow! 
give a pleasing triangular pattern. Note the impor- 
tance of the bud tips, in making a pleasing slhouette. 
The contrast in color and texture of the focal point 
makes for distinction. 
A coarsely woven palm fiber 
mat makes a good base for the grouping.
