HEBERLING'S GLADIOLUS 
15 
VIENNA WOODS (Christ—1933) A large violet blue similar to Blue Admiral. 
WARATAH (Errey—1930) A brilliant orange scarlet, the center is crimson touched 
with cream. An outstanding exhibition red. Length of spike, number open, place¬ 
ment, and size of floret were all good. 
WASAGA (Palmer—1932) A glowing iridescent buff, distinctly beautiful. The color 
is beautifully clear, the spike good, and the florets are nicely ruffled. 
WHERO (Burns—1933) A very brilliant scarlet-red with darker flecks at the outer 
edges of the petals. The blooms are large and of good substance. 8 to 10 open 
at one time. An outstanding exhibition variety. 
W. H. PHIPPS (Diener—1921) The exhibition king. The enormous spikes and flowers 
of La France pink have been the sensation of flower shows for years. 
WINGED VICTORY (Briggs—1928) A very large clear pink. The flowers shade to 
white in the throat. 
WINGS OF JOY (Christ—1933) A massive Phipps* type glad. The color is an unusual 
blend of flesh and light salmon. Many massive florets open at once. 
WURTEMBERGIA (Pfitzer—1929) A brilliant scarlet with cream blotch. Although the 
contrast in colors is not as marked in this variety as it is in Victor, Wurtembergia 
has much better growing habits. 
YELLOW EMPEROR (Ellis—1931) A beautiful rich soft yellow with an extremely 
good flower head. Florets of good size and well placed. We regard it as very 
much worthwhile. 
3 L. O. (Burgess, Australia—1932) Giant spike and flowers with as many as fourteen 
open on record. Color rose, slightly flecked a deeper shade, with carmine blotch 
on cream ground. Color not quite as clear as one would prefer, otherwise it is 
outstanding. Bulblets have not germinated well.

“Every bulb I have bought from you in the last five years was as fine in quality 
as could be grown and your count and extras are always liberal, and that is why I 
always buy from you. I am willing to pay the little extra it will cost in transportation.
