POUR NEW VARIETIES FROM DOWN UNDER 
THAT ARE CONSISTENT WINNERS ON 
THE SHOW BENCH. 
MAUNGA (P. Burns, N. Z.) This variety comes from 
the originator of Takina and is likely the largest pure 
white being offered today. The blooms are well rounded 
and wide open on a long flower head and with the growth 
well over fifty inches, together with its good growing 
habits places this giant white well toward the 100% 
white we have been waiting for. Champion bloom at 
many New Zealand shows an Award of Merit at 
Canterbury Gladiolus Society 1934. Large $10.00; 
Bulblets $1.50. 
MISS NEW ZEALAND (Miss Julyan, N. Z.) The most 
widely discussed variety today among glad fans, no 
question this is the forerunner of a new mammoth type 
and well deserves all good reports being published in its 
favor. Exceptionally tall, healthy grower with straight 
spike that stands up fine during our hot seasons and has 
the ability to come right back after a hot spell when 
many others will be through. Florets are of excellent 
substance and lasting qualities which makes it ideal for 
cutting as the blooms will open to the last bud, the 
twenty-first bloom measured five and one half inches 
on a spike we examined last season. The color is apricot 
salmon suffused with rose with a distinctive peach 
throat blotch making a very pleasing color combination. 
This variety has won all the major awards possible in 
New Zealand and Australia at the different test gardens 
and shows and we predict that Miss New Zealand will 
keep right on winning wherever exhibited for many 
years to come. Large $20.00; Bulblets $2.00. 
TAKINA (Burns, N. Z.) Another mammoth variety 
that will put up exceptional growth, some growers re¬ 
port that it will exceed Miss New Zealand in length of 
spike and stem and in size of bloom. Number open will 
be about the same in both varieties, up to nine or ten 
is not exceptional. Color is classed as rosaline purple 
but comparing it with some we are familiar with, 
closely resembles King Arthur and Dr. Gladys Mont¬ 
gomery in color as bloomed in our garden this past 
season. Bulblets only for sale Each $2.50. 
WHERO (Burns, N. Z.) A new rich glossy appearing 
scarlet red that is reported to be the best red today, 
not quite so tall as Maunga but will compare well with 
Picardy in growth, ten to twelve large blooms, of 
excellent substance, open at one time places this variety 
well toward the front as an exhibition red. Large only 
$10.00 each. 
Due to the small amounts of the above varieties offered 
for sale in this country we are forced to make our 
prices NET on all the above varieties. No discounts 
and no quantity rate, so kindly do not ask for the same.

of this stock but are offering you good quality stock 
subject to supply and fair dealing.
