OUR INTRODUCTIONS 
During the past four seasons, we have offered seven new vari¬ 
eties of Gladiolus to the trade. The reception has been favorable 
and many recommendations have been received from our customers. 
From thousands of seedlings, only one has been chosen for intro¬ 
duction this season. Be sure to try at least some of these. 
Attention (1933). Predominating color peach red with Martius 
yellow throat. A Van Fleet seedling but of stronger color. The 
florets are of medium size, plain petaled, wide open. Excellent sub¬ 
stance. Tall, strong growth. Never crooks. Five flowers open. 
Blue Moon (1931). In addition to its color, its outstanding 
feature is earliness, being the first to bloom. Good size, up to 4G 
inch diameter. Mauve to Chinese violet or hyssop violet, Rood’s 
violet in center. Extra good propagator. Medium height. Several 
blooms open. Does not crook. 
Eugenie (Piper 1932). Very fine novelty color: geranium pink 
with strong blotches of lemon chrome, rose doree line surrounding 
blotches. Placement and size good. The color is very pleasing and 
it makes a good spike. 
Mountain Rose (1933). For some time the trade has needed an 
early lavender and we believe this variety will be useful in filling 
this want. It is a seedling of Sweet Lavender and thus gets its 
earliness. The color is much better, however, being in effect a rose 
lavender. Good substance. Plain petaled. About six open. 
H 
Recovery (1934). A fine spike of large flowers of remarkable 
substance. Bloomed out eleven large flowers in a temperature well 
over 100°. Color is almost self and could be classed as either dark 
pink or light red. Remarkable substance. 
Swansdown (1933). This is a very lovely white. Florets are of 
medium size and of an extremely lovely form. The ruffling gives it 
a lacy, dainty appearance found in no other white. It has the 
chasteness of Europa. About six well-placed flowers out. 
Wings of the Morning (Miller 1931). A Phipps seedling of out¬ 
standing substance. An early bloomer. Color: eosine pink, shading 
to begonia rose and to white in throat; small blotch of rose doree 
in throat. Good size. About 16 buds, with nine or ten out. Straight 
spike. Will stand hottest weather but repays good culture. 
Prices on the above are found in list of varieties. To get you to 
try them we offer a large bulb of all seven varieties for $3.00.
