“/ wish to tell you that our gladiolus we purchased from you last season were 
most successful. I have never raised flowers that I enjoyed so much which is saying 
a great deal.” — Mrs. Oliver H. Bell, Minn.

Marjorie Morrill 
(Ogrodnichek) (Com) (Dec) Clear rich soft 
__ dark salmon. Entirely different color from any 
other variety I know. 6-8 perfectly placed medium size cup shape blooms open. 
Think it will become immensely popular. 
Ppfpf* (Errey) (Ex) (Dec) Early mid-season. White 
IT * < **~ o” 1 flushed pink with large crimson blotch. 6-8 open. 
One of the very best in its color. 
(Kinyon) Light pink sport of Jenny Lind. 
Very pretty. Won at the Boston show. 
MdffltOffl (Errey) (Ex) (Com) Seedling of Emile Aubrun. Practically 
IT1< * A ****** ” the same in habit and growth and in every way except in 
color tho’ a somewhat stronger grower. Color is a wonderful gray with pale purplish 
blotch. This is sometimes called a smoky but is more of a gray. 8-10 perfectly 
placed blooms open. This is one of the finest varieties on the market. Will be in 
immense demand. Very fine used with yellow or white. Should be used much 
more by florists. 
(Dr. Stevens) (Com) (Dec) (90-95) Medium size 
_ ruffled white with yellow throat. 6-9 open on a 
long spike. Beautifully ruffled. Not so large as some but one of the most beautiful. 
Made a killing at the last Boston Show. Sure to be popular. 
Mary Elizabeth 
(Gelser) (Com) (Dec) (75-80) Lavender pink^somewhat 
|yiai & * * J similar in color to Mrs. Peters but a softer shade and 
early. A fine commercial for early bloom. Opens 8 or more at a time. 
Mauve Magic 
(Arenius) (Ex) (Dec) New very tall mauve lavender 
P. G. Opens 8 large blooms at a time. 
May Davidson 
(J. J. Brown) (Ex) (Dec) Soft rose with deeper 
shadings and crimson blotch. Petals edged steel 
blue. 8-10 open. A grower in Canada who has all the newest and best varieties 
considers this one of the best things he has. 
JLf ftilAftfff (Stevens) (Com) (Prim. Grand) One of the very earliest. 
Large white with scarlet blotch. Upper petals slightly tinted 
red like a reflection from the blotch. 5-6 open. Some claim this variety has an 
odor but I have never been able to detect it. I like it. Valuable as an early cut 
flower. 
Mildred Louise 
(Wentworth) (Ex) (Dec) (Com) (76) Originators 
description: “Prevailing color a pure strawberry 
pink self on upper petals with lower petals tipped strawberry pink, blending to 
pinard yellow in the throat with faint spectrum red pencilings on midrib quite 
deep in the throat. Anthers delphinium blue.” (Ridgeway color chart.) 
This variety looks like a comer. Distinctive unusual shade. Nice grower and 
should become a good commercial. 
(Coleman) (Ex) (Com) (Dec) (80-85) Wonderfully beautiful 
clear light pinkish lavender. 5-6 and sometimes 7-9 heavily 
textured blooms open at once. Heavy foliage and fine grower though the 
bulblets need plenty of moisture to germinate them. This is the lavender by 
which all other lavenders are judged. Personally I consider this the finest 
light lavender in existence and probably as good an all round variety as 
there is of any color. 
“Have had such wonderful luck with your glads that my better judgment told me 
to take no chances with other growers .” —Jos. E. Pauly, N. J.
