Gladiolus of Quality 
NEW KEMP ORIGINATIONS-Continued 
ORANGE WONDER —(No. 20-01, Golden Measure 
Hyb.) I believe this is the best orange colored 
Gladiolus ever offered. In color it is a rich 
orange rufous, practically solid color. Flowers are 
4 to 5 inches in diameter, wide open and well 
placed on a well built spike, 4*4 to 5 feet high. 
No other variety that I have yet seen can quite 
approach it in brilliancy of color, few can approach 
it in sturdiness of growth. It is a really wonder¬ 
ful variety and well worthy of the name that has 
been given it, 75 days. 
Large bulbs, 15c each; 3 for 35c; 6 for G5c 
ORAFLAME —(Noj 21-23, Golden Measure Hyb.) The 
predominating color of this variety is radiant

hairlines in the throat. Practically a solid orange 
color. The color 1 is so brilliant it might be pro¬ 
perly termed flame orange and outclasses all other 
orange hued varieties excepting Orange Wonder, 
which it equals in every way excepting in size of 
flower, which is a little smaller than Orange 
Wonder. Flowers 3 V 2 to 4 inches; 17 to the
