DR. HOEG 
MARGARET FULTON 
the fact that Dr. Hoeg stands higher in 
the list of favorites among our customers 
than any other glad in its color class 
(See page 25) — and this in spite of 
the fact of its being a very recent intro¬ 
duction. 
We grow this variety 4^ to 5 feet 
tall. In spite of the extreme heat of 
last summer there was not a single 
crooked spike of Dr. Hoeg in our garden 
at any time. The secret of the beauty 
of this glad lies partly in the roundness 
of its florets, but principally in the fact 
that it has the richest gloss of any ma¬ 
roon variety. Note also the fine silvery 
line around the edge of each petal. Dr. 
Hoeg (pronounced “Haig”) sold for 
$5.00 each last year. For this year’s 
prices see the regular price list at the 
end of this catalog. 
It has never before been possible to 
utilize any older maroon variety in 
floral work. We recommend Dr. Hoeg, 
however, as offering wholly new possi¬ 
bilities in the use of this color. In 
sprays, for instance, its glossy, round 
florets make up with a richness unat¬ 
tainable with any other flower. We be¬ 
lieve that Dr. Hoeg is due to become a 
very famous glad. 
“Dr. Hoeg is a real addition to the dark reds 
and the best one in my opinion that I have seen.”

HOEG, 1933 
r I V HE following incident, reprinted from our 
-1 fall circular, is indicative of the outstanding 
position in its color class that this beautiful 
maroon variety holds: “We had a number of the 
leading dark red varieties growing near each 
other this season and in showing visitors through 
the garden, I would often ask them to select the 
dark red variety they liked best. (Needless to 
say, all our glads were given equal culture. Many 
of the visitors also were entirely unfamiliar with 
the origination of any of the varieties.) Through¬ 
out the entire season every garden visitor without 
exception picked Dr. Hoeg as his favorite dark red 
glad.” This preeminence is further attested by 
“I want to tell you what Dr. Hoeg did. You sent me one 
bulb as an extra in one of my orders. The season here was 
the worst that I have ever known. Just one medium rain 
from the time I planted until the last week in August. 
Dr. Hoeg with no artificial watering grew 4 feet tall with 
7 out on an IS bud spike. It was grand and I have fallen 
much in love with it. I consider its performance wonderful 
under most adverse conditions. The color is most appealing, 
and placement and spacing were fine. That and Red, Lory 
bloomed at the same time and they were a marvelous pair. 
“I also had your Lotus for the first time. It grew wonder¬ 
fully well on soil slightly less favorable than Dr. Hoeg. 
Out of nearly 300 varieties that I grew there were not more 
than one or two which would compare with Lotus in refine¬ 
ment and beauty.” 
Paul H. McIntyre, Maine. 
“Dr. Ilocg and Margaret Fulton were also wonderful 
performers for me this year.” 
O. N. Fisher, Wisconsin. 
“With me Dr. C. Ilocg was a very fine gladiolus with 
beautifully formed and spaced florets on spikes of good 
length. The color is exceedingly attractive and was much 
admired by members of garden clubs when I displayed 
three spikes of it at the Rockland County fair just before 
Labor Day. As far as I can judge now Dr. C. Ilocg is un¬ 
questionably the leader in its color class.” 
Fredrick W. Cassebeer, New York.
