RUFFOLACE —(No. 160, 1924, Kemp). In this exquisitely beautiful variety we have an 
entirely new type of flower. It is nicely ruffled and beautifully lacinated, which gives 
us a most strikingly beautiful Gladiolus. I believe Ruffolace is the only variety of this 
type in existence. Certainly it is the first of the type to be offered and marks a highly 
interesting and important advancement, if not the greatest achievement in the breeding 
of the modern Gladiolus. Probably the herald of a new race of Gladiolus more beauti- 
tful in form than any now in existence. The color of the flower is pure white, 4 inches 
and over in diameter; 4 to 5 open at a time, and are borne on straight, stout spikes 3
