Due to scarcity of stock this variety has not been shown much this past year 
but when stock is available a basket of this will be worth going a long way to see. 
I have never seen anything in yellow that could touch it for color. 
“Several of the best of the new yellows were grown this year but Jonquil ex¬ 
ceeds the others considerably in depth of color without the evidence of orange 
tones.” — Grant E. Mitsch, Oregon. 
I.aiiv EAtOtl (Dec) (80-85) Pale vinaceous to Venetian pink and almost 
ajwwn white in the throat which has a violet marking. Purple 
penciling and peppering on cream ground. Very tall, strong, vigorous plant 
averaging five feet in height. Opens 6-7 
large wide open blooms with rolled petals, 
sometimes being of the needle-point type. 
Effect is very fine though informal. Win¬ 
ner of Award at the Canadian National 
Show, Toronto 1932 for seedling of out¬ 
standing merit in pastel shades. Can be 
very fine. 
ILilldeSta (Com) (Dec) (90) Soft 
salmony rose with cream 
throat. 7-9 medium to large always well 
placed blooms open. Very tall strong 
grower. Sometimes flecked but usually 
clear and a very pretty thing. This has 
been called an improved Jenny Lind but 
I consider it better than that. 
Have had a large number of very fine 
reports on this variety and I am sure that 
it will become very popular. 
“Lindesta is a very beautiful glad. 
You call it a very pretty thing. That is 
just modesty on your part. Lindesta is 
the most beautiful glad I have ever seen— 
and I have seen a lot of them. It is much 
more beautiful than Picardy, at least it 
was for me. It opened seven at once for 
me, and the coloring is wonderful. I 
wonder if the glad raisers who rave about 
this kind, and enthuse over that kind, have 
ever seen Lindesta.” 
—Dr. W. E. Grant, Penn.

(Ex) (Com) (Dec) (90) 
Soft shrimp pink without 
flecking. Blotch of light flesh pink shad¬ 
ing to shrimp pink at edges. Inconspicuous 
feathering of begonia rose. 7-10 open. 
Blooms up to six inches or more across. Well 
placed on tall, strong spike. Fine shipper, 
the last bud in fine shape. Heavy propagator, bulblets often 
Will open up to 
blooming. 
Picardy is a real “break” in gladiolus. It has been a sensation everywhere 
since its introduction. It has about everything that it takes to make a glad. 
Though a wonderful propagator large bulbs are very scarce this year. Have had 
to turn down orders for a great many thousands. Picardy will be a big seller for 
years to come. Experienced market growers are stocking up with it and for the 
home garden it is the one variety that you must have. 
A famous hybridizer from Australia who has produced many fine varieties 
himself wrote to a friend of his in Canada that he considered Picardy and Betty 
Nuthall the two finest glads in existence. 
Every order should contain Picardy. 
“Picardy had 13 open.” 
—A. L. Trolley, Michigan.
