PAULINE KUNDERD 103 *—tttt Glistening, pure 
rose pink, blending into creamy yellow throat. A 
beautiful combination and a stunning spike.

growers because slow propagation will not meet 
the demand. Our 1st Mah. ’31, N.E.G.S. ’32,

SALBACH’S ORCHID 88 **— tttt Lavender pink 
rose. Just the shade of Cattleya orchid. Presume 
a seedling of Minuet because has its identical 
form and habits but larger, holds more open, is 
earlier and more pink. Starting at $100, it took 
Minuet nine years to get the dissemination back¬ 
ground to rate the gladiolus premiere by A.G.S. 
Introduced at $25 in 1931, we managed to have 
three spikes of Salbach’s Orchid on national show 
day, same year, no common performance, even 
for us. Rarely do these expensive new ones 
make headway in the national shows and sym¬ 
posiums until lower prices make blooms more 
readily available. Now that the price is finally 
within general reach of the fancier, having a better 
commercial color than Minuet, we anticipate that 
this variety will make a headlong jump into the 
symposium ratings. Our lsts, A.G.S. ’31 and 
Ohio ’32 and ’33. E. Bay ’32, San Leandro ’32 
and ’33. N.D. ’33. L. 25(100,20.00) M. 18(100,

SUNNYSIDE 95 *— tttt A wide edging of light 
rose pink, lightly tinted deeper, in but slight 
preponderance to the large area of pure, creamy 
white within. A stunning, tall, perfect spike 
with 12-14 large, round, slightly recurved 
florets open at once. First Class Certificate 
and champion card at six shows in Australia, ’31.

Dear Mr. Evans: 
On behalf of the Mahoning Gladiolus Society I wish 
to extend you its vote of thanks for exhibiting at our 
show. The number of entries, the variety and quality 
of your glads contributed much to the success of our 
show or, no doubt, would have greatly helped any other 
show in the country. This vote of thanks was taken at 
our September meeting.
