This color 
group finds 
us at the 
very heart of gladiolusdom. There are 
probably 
over three 
hundred 
salmon-pink 
varieties in commerce today. In listing only twenty-one we are offering only what we consider the very cream of these three 
hundred. Throughout this catalog our very omission of mediocre sorts should be a distinct service to glad lovers, for though 
many of these unincluded varieties possess considerable beauty, yet a few years hence will find most of them out of the 
picture and only the very best varieties of today still being grown. 
The three leaders in this class are Picardy, Margaret Fulton and Mildred Louise. The first two have already been des¬ 
cribed in the first part of this catalog. Mildred Louise is a rival of Picardy in both size and color. Being a little larger than 
Margaret Fulton, it is likely to lead it in popularity, though I believe that the very finest spikes of Fulton that I have ever 
seen (those displayed by the originator at the National Show in 1932) would rank next to Picardy in beauty. Both Mar¬ 
garet Fulton and Mildred Louise were introduced by the Colonial Gardens in 1932 in conjunction with the originators. 
Smiling Maestro is a warmer toned IT. II. Phipps, with an improved spike. . . . With such strong competition from 
the four varieties just mentioned, and even more from Heritage, it seemed time to remove the old favorite, but variable, 
IT. //. Phipps from the First Hundred. The giant Douglas also goes out to make room for some variety of finer color. 
In Nerissa we have a rich salmon, whose florets have a bluish edge and a glowing, ruddy throat marking. 
The much heralded Miss New Zealand is a giant without question, but it lacks color appeal. After all we grow glads for 
beauty, not size, and no degree of the latter can compensate for cloudy color. 
A number of varieties in this class are distinguishable by cream or yellow throats. We think first of the popular Betty 
Nut hall. Another is Coronation, with triangular florets. D. A. Hay has been called a rival of Picardy but really is not in 
the running. Gloriola is an improved Gloriana. Very similar,but not bearing such close inspection is the veined Gladdie Boy. 
Rapture makes a tall spike with one row of florets. Netherland Prince is a fine solid salmon color; being unmarked it 
is practically a self. Mrs. E. J. Heaton is similar in color to Margaret Fulton but is less distinguished in form. Lady Win¬ 
some is a more informal Picardy with a more distinct throat marking. Festival Queen resembles Mildred Louise. Inspiration 
is heavily ruffled and laciniateci. It may be very fine. When very well grown Premier Henry is of exceptional beauty. Its 
giant florets are of richest texture and well ruffled. In Cherokee we have a blotched variety rather subdued in color but 
possessing lots of style. Tastes will vary as to its beauty. . . . Remember that the detailed analysis as to beauty con¬ 
siders each variety at its very best and does not consider size a beauty factor.
