Orange, yellow 
and 
maroon seem to be 
the colors affording the greatest 
natural 
opportunity for rich 
ness in color 
effects. In the orange class this opportunity is most fully realized in the brilliant, sprightly Brighlside. As a landscape va¬ 
riety this is unusually effective, while in bouquets it opens up a new conception of richness possible in decorative work 
with gladioli. Brighlside is a combination of canary yellow, apricot, and bittersweet orange. There is no throat marking. 
This variety is pictured and described more fully in the front of this catalog. 
Another new orange and yellow combination is La Fiesta. Rich in color, it is rather bizarre in form. ... In Orange 
Sovereign we have another interestingly ruffled orange. The color is a trifle subdued, but not so much so as is the case 
with Spirit of St. Louis. This latter variety would be very fine but its orange tone is subdued by a considerable element 
of gray and the throat marking is also a detracting feature. We place it in the First Hundred none the less. 
Other orange seifs are Orange Wonder (rather salmon in tone). La Paloma — a real orange with triangular florets, 
Orange Princess (on the scarlet order), King of Oranges (a silky glad of true orange color), and Grand Slam (salmon-orange 
— sa.d to be a sport of Pfitzer’s Triumph). . . . Dearborn is a giant in spite of its florets failing to open fully, . . . Betty 
Brown Eyes is a prim with a personality: a small orange glad with small brownish throat blotches.

The yellow class shows improvement each year, but has not yet caught up with the salmon-pink, light pink, or scar¬ 
let. . . . The latest claimant to fame in this class is Golden Goddess which the writer has seen twice but which we have 
not grown. It is a ruffled medium yellow with eight or ten open florets and a wiry stem. The originator is selling it for 
.15.00 each. We expect to price it next year. It is a patented variety and may not be resold except by special arrange¬ 
ment with the patentee. 
While I consider yellow gladioli especially lovely, I find it very difficult to bring out much in the way of distinctive 
personality in a description of them. Frankly, many of the yellows resemble each other considerably. The following are 
some of the most distinctive; Star Lily (which has about the heaviest substance of any yellow and is beautifully ruffled. 
It reminds one somewhat of the superbly beautiful Gunvor); Ruffled Gold (which possesses an unusual amount of style in 
its ruffling); Golden Poppy (of the richest old gold color and a beautifully recurved form); Golden Dream (the original re 
curved or rosebud type of glad); Golden Frills (a small frilled variety of much richness); and Luxury (pale yellow with a 
scarlet blotch — the “pansy glad”).
