“/ bought glads from six states to find out which would do the best in this terrible 
climate. With the possible exception of one variety your bulbs gave me much better 
results than any others .” — A. J. Amsler, Iowa

\LT U PHintlS (P^ (Ex) (Com) (Dec) (112) Light rose salmon. Long 
* *** * spike with 15-20 blooms open at a time. Needs good 
culture to get these long spikes otherwise it often produces short stubby spikes. 
Until the arrival of Picardy this variety has been the most popular glad in ex¬ 
istence. 
WingPlI VlCtOrV- ( Briggs ) ( Dec ) Immense light pink. Have had 
~ w ^ it eight inches across one way but it is much 
wider than high. 
Winifred

variety. 10-12 open. Distinct novelty. 
Wonder Glory

Five open. Large massive flower. Very pretty. 
W ur tern berg ia 
(Pf) (Ex) (Com) (Dec) Fiery scarlet with 
__ cream white throat. Immense blooms on a 
very tall always straight spike. The most dazzling red you can imagine. 
One of the “must haves” for your garden and should become a good com¬ 
mercial. A variety that stops everyone. 
(Krelage) (Ex) (Com) (78) Blush white or very pale 
* ▼wlllHS pink with cerise spot in throat. 6-8 very large blooms on a 
tall, strong growing plant. A wonderfully fine variety. 
“ The 1,000 bulbs for $8.00 have just been unpacked and I am surprised and more 
than pleased. I had no idea that any extras would come with so many bulbs for so 
little money but the extras are wonderful. So many and some such choice ones.” 
_—Mrs. Charles C. Jacobs, Ill. 
“7 certainly wish to thank you for the fine lot of good new bulbs you have sent 
gratis for an opportunity to see how they do with us. — Elmer J. Weaver, Md. 
“7 want to thank you for the extra bulbs which you sent me. I have been buying 
plants and bulbs for a few years but never before have I had such a nice gift. Thanks 
so much also for sending them so soon. _— Mrs. T. C. Martin, N. Y. 
“That No. 1 Collection was very satisfactory. We have been cutting some nice 
spikes and good varieties.” _—P. E. Hicks, N. J. 
“Crow’s Clarion which I obtained from you gave me a wonderful tall spike with 
good sized flowers. It looks to me like the best prim grand in this color.” 
—F. W. Cassebeer, N. Y. 
Varieties by Color 
It is very hard to separate varieties of gladiolus into definite color classifica¬ 
tions. In the pinks especially it is difficult to separate the salmons, light pinks, 
etc. Some varieties could go into any one of three or four classes. There are a 
number of different shades of pink that don’t have a class by themselves. It is 
hard to say in just which one of the classes I have here they should go. However 
I have classified the varieties in my list to the best of my ability.
