PEACE ARCH NURSERIES, BLAINE, WASH. 
Kaylor Gladioli 
In the belief that Puget Sound cli¬ 
mate and .soil afforded exceptional ad¬ 
vantages for the creation of new varie¬ 
ties of this popular flower, we have, for 
several years, cross-polonized hundreds 
of varieties. The result has been thous¬ 
ands of seedlings, many hundreds of 
which have besn carried to blooming 
stage only to be destroyed. Others have 
received the three to six years growth 
and study necessary to prove them, and 
we offer the following, ail of which have 
been registered with the American Glad- 
ilous society. For prices see Glad list. 
Sem-i-ah-moo 
Pronounced as spelled with accent on 
“ah.” 
A regular opsratic prima donna; 
given to an occasional case of temper- 
ment but usually a top notcher. Should 
be cut as buds open and bloomed in¬ 
doors. 
Yakima Apricot 
It wins prizes in the orange class 
but we prefer to think it more closely re¬ 
sembles the beautiful blending of the 
bright rsd and yellow to be found in a 
tree (not box)ripened Yakima Apricot. 
Emaline Manning 
Introduced in 1933 as Ophelia Rose, 
but Brother Huff of the A. G. S. thought 
it should have another name for regis¬ 
tration. Emaline Manning was the 
maiden name of the writer’s paternal 
grandmother, the fine old gentlewoman 
who gave him his first instruction in 
growing flowers. This Glad had to be 
first class to merit such a name. 
Laughing Lassie 
Just as sure to give a beautifully bal¬ 
anced spike of wide open laughing rosy- 
pink florets, as it is to grow—and what a 
flock of bulblets. 
Laughing Laddie 
Clean and clear, not disfigured by 
darker spots as are so many of the dark 
reds. Not quite so large as the Lassie 
but otherwise a fit mate. 
Washington Gladolus Society 
Every garden fan should join. An¬ 
nual dues includes membership in the 
American Gladiolus Society, subscrip¬ 
tion to the Monthly Gladiolus Review 
and right to exhibit in all shows. Send 
applications to us or to Roy Erford, Sec¬ 
retary, 515 Title & Trust Building, Seat¬ 
tle. 
Steves’ New Glads 
Although the originator, Mr. J. M. 
Steves, Steveston, B. C., passed away 
very suddenly in Vancouver early in 
January, the many fine things he had 
started in the Glad varieties will be pro¬ 
pagated and placed on the market. 
In additition to those introduced 
to American flower growers by us several 
years ago, we this year offer some half 
dozen later originations which are con¬ 
sidered considerably in advance of his 
earlier introductions. 
Descriptions and prices will be found 
in the general Glad list. 
Visit Our Nursery 
The Peace Arch Nurseries are owned 
and operated by Floyd C. Kaylor, Mrs. 
Kaylor and several members of the 
“younger generation” of Kaylors. No 
matter how busy we may be, there is 
always someone to answer questions, 
whether these be asked bv letter or by 
the many visitors we are always glad to 
have call. As we never urge a visitor to 
place an order, you can come and see 
the plants and flowers without having to 
fight a “high-power” salesman. We want 
your orders but you do not have to buy 
to be welcome. The nursery is about a 
mile east of Blaine’s main street and 
you can drive in over either the H or D 
street roads—and there are no gates to 
open. 
At the nursery we have many items 
not listed in this catalog and if you do 
not find the things you are looking for, 
please write. Many of the items not 
listed are under trial, while in other 
cases our stocks are still limited. 
Two For One Glad Collection 
Customers' tastes change |from year to 
year and no matter how carefully we 
plan the end of every season finds us with 
unbalanced stocks of large and medium 
bulbs on hands. About May 20 we are 
going to sell these at half price. Varieties 
are listed in this catalog—all will bloom. 
Send $1 or more and about May 20 we 
will send double the value in bulbs, post¬ 
paid, labaled. Money back if sold out. 
Is Grateful 
“Our Glads turned out fine, and the 
lillies as well; in fact the product you 
sent us turned out per your statement at 
time of purchase and we feel deeply 
grateful to you.” Dr. J. A. L., Oregon.
