“ Your shipment of bulbs came to me last Saturday. They are very fine looking 
and your count is really too generous. I am greatly pleased with them."

Wmc 1? 1? ttannAtt (Boynton) (Dec) White with small purple 
liars# r . nenneu blotch. Seems to be popular. Good. 
Mrs. Gertrude Pfitzer ff F) (Dee). (70-75) Early light grayish 
___ blue with violet center. Nice large spike 
and a good grower. 
Mrs. Leon Douglas 
(D) (Ex) (Com) (Dec) (95-100) Salmon 
rose striped with flame and scarlet. One 
of the tallest, largest and showiest glads in existence with six or more immense 
flowers open at a time. According to present day standards I wouldn’t consider 
this beautiful but it is very showy and still liked by many people. Can be grown 
six feet or more tall. 
D SlSSOtl (Coleman) (Ex) (Com) (90-95) Beautiful 
* * * fV * creamy light pink. Six or more large blooms 
open at a time. Has been used extensively as a commercial though some of the 
wholesalers say that it is a little inclined to be soft. Certainly makes a nice cut 
flower for nearby use. 
§ F|i|*g«r (Errey) (Ex) (Dec) (85-90) Very large orange 
Cjr sa i m on with orange red blotch. Eight or ten 
immense blooms open at a time. It should be cut in the bud and opened in the 
house as it fades somewhat in the sun. 
Affl«C T F I (Crow) (Ex) (Com) (90-95) Ex- 
mrs» *• ml . i»angtorq qilisitft apple blossom pink with 
touch of canary in throat. Color somewhat like Mrs. Dr. Norton. Tall, 
always straight with 8-10 good size flowers open. 
This variety is very fine both as an exhibition sort and as a commercial. 
In the bud it is a very beautiful thing and when shipped carries in beautiful 
shape and opens up well to the tip. When stock is available this will be one 
of the most popular cut flower varieties on the market. I consider Mrs. 
Langford as one of the really valuable coming commercials. All growers 
who want to grow the best of the new varieties should stock up with Mrs. 
Langford. 
It is also a very valuable variety in hybridizing.

“77? all of my dealings with gladiolus growers in the past six years you have 
been the fairest and most generous and the stock that I received from you did better 
with me than that which I purchased from any other grower .”
