 purple; in fact the beginner should 

 avoid these colors in the early stages of 

 his industry. 



"Good pink sorts of commercial value 

 are: Pink Beauty, because it flowers 

 weeks before America; Pink Augusta, if 

 grown late for September and October 

 blooming; Hollandia, because all flowers 

 are open at one time on the stem; and 

 the gem of all, Mrs. Francis King, the 

 greatest money maker in producing 

 either flowers or bulbs. Good com- 

 mercial white varieties are scarce, and 

 though some are on the market they are 

 so costly as to make them unavailable 

 for commercial growing. The most 

 popular so-called white sort now sold is 

 Augusta. Its main feature is that all 

 the flowers on the stem open at one 

 ;tiiae. Invariably it produces more than 

 one -flower stem from a single bulb, and 

 this is another reason why the growers 

 like it. Next in popularity is a variety 

 called May, which, in my opinion, should 

 be pensioned and forgotten. The pink 

 flakes on white ground produce anything 

 but a beautiful color. 



"Fully seventy-five per cent of the 

 commercial growers confine their efforts 

 to some or all of the sorts mentioned 

 above. It is my opinion that the man 

 who shows enterprise and invests in 

 some of the finer newer sorts, which, 

 when available in quantities, will sup- 

 plant all the present sorts, will be the 

 man who is going to reap the greatest 

 reward in gladiolus growing in the 

 fnture. 



"Panama, a new pink sort, probably 

 will supplant America in a few years. 

 Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Jr., is another 

 winner in pink that will surely be a 

 rival of Panama in the future. About 

 fifty thousand bulbs of this sort were 

 available last fall on the wholesale 

 market. By February 1 not a bulb could 

 be bought wholesale. Kochester White 

 is the coming white sort, as pure as 

 driven snow. Niagara is going to be 

 the leading yellow sort in the future."
