17 



GLADIOLI-Continued 



GOVERNOR HANLEY (Kunderd) — Tall showy, 

 early, rich cardinal red with deeper throat color. 

 A first class bedding and cut flower variety; will 

 remain well up in the class of good red for a 

 long while. Each, 15c; dozen, $1.50. 



GRENADIER — A bold impressive flower and a 

 brilliant cut flower sort. Flowers and spikes are 

 large, compact and full, the wrinkled edges of 

 the petals giving a general ruffled appearance. 

 The ground color is scarlet, overlaid with orange. 

 Exquisite. Each, 15c; dozen, $1.50. 



GRETCHEN ZANG (Austin) — A large growing va- 

 riety of a most beautiful soft melting shade of 

 pink, blending into deep salmon on the lower 

 petals. Approaches the brilliant coloring of the 

 Beaute Poitevine Geranium. The color makes it 

 especially valuable for florists' use. Blooms from 

 small bulbs. A first prize winner and award of 

 merit from Gladiolus Society of Ohio. Each, 15c; 

 dozen, $1.50. 



*HAIiL,EY — A most attractive early blooming sort, 

 with large well-opened flowers of delicate salm- 

 on-pink, flowers well placed on long graceful 

 spikes; a most beautiful variety. Each, 6c; 

 dozen, 60c; hundred, $4.00. 



*HERADA (Austin) — A new variety and a new 

 color in Gladioli. Blooms of immense size on tall 

 straight spikes. Massive in every way. The 

 blooms are pure mauve, glistening and clear. 

 Unusually striking and attractive. Each, 15c; 

 dozen, $1.50. 



*IDA VAN (Kunderd) — Orange-red of brilliant tint. 

 Flowers large and wide open. Six to eight out at 

 one time. Spike straight and strong. Showy, 

 attractive and beautiful. Forty-two inches. 

 Each, 10c; dozen, $1.00; hundred, $7.00. 



♦INDEPENDENCE (Woodruff) — Florists' flower. A 

 brilliant Begonia- pink, with richly marked 

 throat. A long spike of wax-like flowers. One of 

 the best for cut flowers and for massing, because 

 of its color and the lasting quality of the bloom. 

 Each, 6c; dozen, 60c; hundred, $4.00. 



ISAAC BUCHANAN — Very fine yellow. Each, 10c; 

 dozen, $1.00. 



JEAN DIEULAFOY (Lemoine) — A lovely cream 

 color, with carmine blotch. Excellent for bou- 

 quets. Each, 15c; dozen, $2.00. 



KENTFIELD (Diener) — Pale yellow with flesh 

 tinge, canary yellow throat; flowers 5 inches in 

 diameter; spikes 4 to 5 feet high. Each, 30c; 

 dozen, $3.00. 



IiAPIGERA — A beautiful rose-pink with trumpet- 

 shaped flowers. A very distinct color in Gladioli, 

 and verv striking and attractive. Each, 25c; 

 dozen, $2.50. 



*LIEBESFEUER (Love's Fire) — Fiery scarlet with 

 orange shadings; lower segments striped violet- 

 brown; finest of all reds. It is a beauty. Each, 

 20c; dozen, $2.00. 



*LJXY LEHMAN — This is the lily-flowering Gla- 

 diolus because the flowers resemble the Lily. It 

 is distinctly ruffled. A pure glistening white 

 with just the faintest tinting of pink on tips of 

 the petals; matchless in form and coloring. 

 Each, 15c; dozen, $1.50; hundred, $10.00. 



LILYWHITE (Kunderd) — This will become what 

 florists have long been looking for — a reliable 

 first-class early all-white forcing variety. It is 

 of good height, nice size blosoms and plenty open 

 at a time. Very early. An A No. 1 variety for 

 florits or garden planting. Each, 50c; dozen, 

 $5.00; hundred, $35.00. 



*L'IMM ACUL.EE — Undoubtedly the best commercial 

 white Glad in existence. Very tall spike well set 

 with large flowers of great substance. Each, 10c; 

 dozen, $1.00; hundred, $7.00. 



*LOUISE (Wright) — Clear pure lavender of a bluish 

 tinge; has no magenta or purple in it, and this 

 makes it the finest lavender yet produced, nearly 

 the same shade as Iris Pallida Dalmatica, which 

 is enough said. Big flowers and a good grower. 

 Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



LOVELINESS — As its name implies this variety 

 produces flowers of distinction in daintiness and 

 beauty. The color is of pale creamy tone, soft 

 and delicate, with a roseate tinge in the center. 

 The flowers are large and well placed on the 

 spike; and as a major part of these splendid blos- 

 soms are open at one time they make this variety 

 superior for decorative effect. Each, 10c; dozen, 

 $1.00; hundred, $7.00. 



MADAME MONNET SULLY (Lemoine) — Cream- 

 white with red center. Extra fine. Each, $1.00. 



MAINE (Vos) — A variety long looked for by both 

 florists and grower. Its color is pure white; not 

 the faintest spot or blemish can be traced on 

 petals, throat, or the inside of flower. When in 

 full bloom, the petals curl backward, reminding 

 us of the lovely form that characterizes the 

 Easter Lily. There are many flowers open at one 

 time, and these blossoms, correctly placed on the 

 stem, widely expanded, tend to touch each other 

 in the acme of blossoming, giving the impres- 

 sion as though this full row of snow-white cups 

 were one long pyramidal flower. Unlike so many 

 white Gladioli, Maine is an extremely strong 

 grower and rapid multiplier, all first size corms 

 producing two or three robust spikes with deep, 

 green, healthy foliage. In conclusion, we wish to 

 state that Glad. Maine is a crossing between 

 Glad. Europe and Glad. Lily Lehman. Each, $4.00. 



*MAJESTIC — Here is an orange shade that is new. 

 It is not the orange of Alice Tiplady. This is 

 wonderful, but a shade that has a tinge of salmon 

 in it. Very difficult to describe, but a grand, re- 

 fined color. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



3IARY FENNELL (Kunderd) — One of the patricians 

 of the garden. Beautiful light lavender flowers on 

 a tall, slender spike, lower petals primrose-yellow 

 with penciling of lavender, perfectly exquisite and 

 distinct. Especially recommended. Each, 20c; 

 dozen, $2.00; hundred, $12.00. 



MARY PICKFQRD (Kunderd) — A flower of extra- 

 ordinary beauty; color a delicate creamy-white, 

 throat soft yellow. Each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. 



BLASTER WEITSE — Rich deep dark velvety purple 

 of branching habit; tall, slender and graceful 

 spike. Each, 7c; dozen, 75c; hundred, $5.00. 



*MAY (Crawford) — An old favorite. White, heavily 

 striped and splashed pink. Fine for forcing. Each, 

 6c; dozen, 60c; hundred, $4.00. 



MEADOWVLLLE — White with lilac throat, a very 

 pretty white flowering Gladiolus. Neat and prim 

 in appearance. Petals reflex at edges. Each, 6c; 

 dozen, 60c; hundred, $4.00. 



MEPHISTOPHELES (Lemoine) — Colors brilliant 

 scarlet-sulphur and almost black, most peculiarly 

 arranged; a deep border of scarlet around every 

 petal. This band has a wire edge almost black; 

 outside this is a band of sulphur. Throat on lower 

 petals very deep and velvety. Very striking. 

 Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00. 



MISS CHRISTINA TREUER (Vos) — (New.) Sport 

 of Halley. Has retained the earliness of this 

 famous variety with this difference: It gives a 

 soft rose colored flower without stripes or 

 blotches. This is a wonderful flower of great 

 beauty and we bespeak for it a glorious future. 

 Each, $4.00. 



MISS LUCILLE— Shell-pink, shaded lavender. Each, 

 10 cents; dozen, $1.00. 



*MISS MAUD FAY (Diener) — Clean Cattleya-pink, a 

 light stripe running through the middle of each 

 petal. Flowers very open, averaging six inches 

 in diameter. Spikes never straight, but curved in 

 various directions; are three to four feet long. 

 Exceptionally suitable for cut flowers. A fine 

 production. Each, $2.00. 



MR. MARK — There are a number of new blues on 

 the market and good ones, but none that can take 

 the place of Mr. Mark. This variety is a charm- 

 ing blue color that does not wilt in the brightest 

 sunlight, being a strong, vigorous grower and a 

 wonderful color. Each, 35c; dozen, $3.50. 



MRS. DR. NORTON (Kunderd) — Very large and well 

 open flowers, well set on a tall and graceful spike, 

 four to eight flowers in bloom at one time. Color, 

 white, the edges suffused with soft La France 

 pink. The three lower petals have a blotch of 

 sulphur-vellow, stained at the base with fine 

 specks of Tyrian-pink. Strong and vigorous 

 grower and very free flowering. Highest awards 

 wherever shown. The flowers remind one of the 

 rare and beautiful Regal Lily. The growth is 

 tremendously tall and strong, and flowers are of 

 extremely open form. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



MRS. FRANCES KING (Groff) — Could we grow but 

 a few varieties, Mrs. Frances King would be one 

 of them. A most beautiful "Besnard shade" of 

 flame-pink. Flowers of giant size on a spike 

 growing four feet high with from eighteen to 

 twentv flowers. Six to eight open at one time. 

 Beautiful under artificial light. A magnificent 

 variety. Each, 5c; dozen, 50c; hundred, $3.50.
