Gladioli Varieties and Prices

Pal.—Palmer; Pur.—Purple; Pf.—Pfitzer; Sal.—Salbach; Lem.—Lemoine. 
Type: Dec.—Decorative—spikes of medium size with four or more open 
florets; more attractive for their charm than for size. Ex.—Exhibition—large 
florets on tall and heavy spikes. P. before Ex. or Dec. means this flower shows 
primulinus blood. 
Sea.—Season—refers to the blooming period; early, etc. 
Sub.—Substance—refers to texture; A.—Heavy; B.—Medium; C.—Light. 
Health—a new feature in a Glad catalog: Refers to variety’s disease resis¬ 
tance, bulblet production, bulblet germination, and its general growth.

bulbs are 1*4 inches and up; mediums, three-quarters to 114 inch; smalls, less 
than three-fourths inch. All items must be for at least 12c.

size where we are out of size ordered.
