(^ueen Helen II (Salbach 1 934). Having as its 
two parents the Betty Nuthall and Helen 
Jacobs gladiolus, this fine gladiolus de¬ 
served a “tennis” name. We have called it 
“Queen Helen H,” in honor of Miss Jacobs, 
National Women’s champion. 
Considered the best new variety of the 
year by one prominent Western grower 
who has seen most of the new ones. Color¬ 
ing half-way between Betty Nuthall and 
Helen Jacobs with splendid habit. A most 
refined flower. Good placement, wide open 
florets, and fine substance. Six open with 
twelve additional buds. 
Color by Ridgway chart—Grenadine pink 
with prominent pinard yellow blotch and 
carmine feathering deep in throat. Large 
$1.50 each; Med., $1.00. No bblts. 
Salbach’s Orchid (Salbach 1 9 30). Colored the 
same lavender pink as a Cattleya orchid. 
Similar in form to Minuet, but pinker, and 
retains its color under artificial light. 
Large wide open blooms of heavy substance 
and fine placement. As many as ten blooms 
open at once, and one of the few flowers 
that will stand the hottest sun without 
fading or wilting. 
Tested and proven as a gladiolus for 
forcing as “the first blooms remained 
attractive and held their color until the 
entire spike had developed”. Blooms out 
best when cut with two or three florets 
open. Awarded first, best rose pink without 
markings, Amer. Glad. Soc. Show, 1931, 
and two or more firsts at the C. F. F. and 
E. B. G. S. shows both in 1932 and 1933.
