BANCROFT WINSOR 
NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 
EMMA (Velthuys) Salmon pink with a dark blotch, opens eight or nine large blooms 
well placed on a tall spike, a fine exhibition variety. L 2-30c, M 4-30c, S 4-20c, 
Bits. 35-20c. 
ERICA MORINI (Pfitzer) Type of Pfitzer’s Triumph but taller spike, a brilliant 
scarlet color similar to Triumph, early bloomer and will open about six extra large 
blooms at once. L $1.00, Bits. 2~20c. 
ESME DESAILLY (Errey) Salmon pink and cream combination with a slight dark 
line on the lower petals; have seen as high as ten beautifully formed flowers open on 
a spike and certainly this variety will be very valuable as it consistently produces 
exhibition spikes. L 30c, M 20c, S 2-20c, Bits. 10-20c. 
FAUST (Mair) Here is a very striking novelty, brownish red (mahogany) color overcast 
with slate, a rather different color than most smokies and builds up a fine spike. 
L 20c, M 2-30c, S 2-20c, Bits. 10-20c. 
FIELD MARSHALL (Mair) Dark garnet red overcast with a light slate that makes it 
one of Mair’s most popular varieties. The usual Mair show spike with twenty or 
more buds and ten to twelve open. L 20c, M 2-25c, S 3-20c, Bits. 15-20c. 
GATE OF HEAVEN (Pfitzer) Said by some to be a great new yellow but for me 
has not been outstanding; showing traces of pink and not too tall. I hope to see 
it improve next year. L $2.00, M $1.25, S 75c, Bits. 25c each. 
GENERAL MANGIN (Lemoine) Here is one of Lemoine’s that deserves to be better 
known for it is one of the two best of its color class; growth is very strong and it 
easily opens ten flowers at once; it is one of the finest things in the garden the past 
season. Color is dark pure red with deeper throat markings. Makes fine growth 
from bulblets. Don’t pass over this one. L 45c, M 25c, S 2-30c, Bits. 10-20c. 
GERTRUDE (Mair) A pretty novelty that is orange rose in color with a decided light 
slaty overcast that produces an extraordinary color effect. Certainly worth while. 
L. 20c, M 2-20c, S 3-20c, Bits. 20-20c. 
GERTRUDE GREY (Mair) A new satin grey color that is unusual, nothing else of 
this color that we have seen, and a good Mair spike. A real novelty for color that 
all those fans that like the odd colors should grow. L $1.00, M 65c, S 35c, Bits. 3-20c. 
GERTRUDE SMITH (Reeve) An addition to the pink shades and a decidedly good 
one, a deep shell pink with a silvery throat and little ruby blotch on lower petals; 
Extra long spike perfectly formed, ten or more open. Stock scarce. Bits. 50c each. 
GERTRUDE SWENSON (Swenson, Australia) The color of this new gladiolus is a 
beautiful shade of mauve with a white blotch on the lower petals and a light mauve 
feather. This variety first came to my notice when it won best seedling at the Ballarat 
Show and came back the next year to win best bloom, these spikes both from the 
same original bulb. It is a grand variety and the spike is the ideal of the exhibitor, 
tall and straight, the placement perfect, the blooms of good size and type and I have 
never seen a variety that held the size of bloom so even up the spike. In Australia
