GLADIOLUS 
Prize Varieties for AH Gardens 
Albatross. Those who saw this variety at the Biltmore Show 
pronounced it the best white they had yet seen. The spikes are 
long and well filled with large, beautiful pure white flowers 
There is none better for floral display. 
Commander Koehl. The huge flowers are very dark velvety 
red. A strikingly handsome new European variety. 
Mother Machree. The novelty combination of this “smoky” 
variety is indeed sensational. The clear light gray ground is 
tinted bluish lavender shading darker at the outer edges of the 
petals, the tips of which are lightly flecked bright orange-red. 
Hinemoa. The color of this novelty is unique as well as sen¬ 
sational—a vivid combination of maroon and red with a bright 
yellow blotch. 
Coronado. Although the flowers are extremely large, this 
variety has a delicacy unexcelled. Its coloring is white, with 
lace-like penciling of violet in the throat, and the flowers are 
heavily ruffled. 
Coryphee. The unusually fine spikes are made up of large 
flowers of clear, delicate pink, a rare color in gladiolus. 
Minuet. We consider this the best of all lavender gladiolus. 
Very tall, strong and straight, with many large, delicate laven¬ 
der flowers, with a little splash of yellow in the throat. 
Pfitzers Triumph. Unquestionably one of the largest and fin¬ 
est red Glads. The huge flowers are vivid scarlet, extremely 
showy. 
PICARDY. Truly outstanding is this wonderful new variety. 
Its color is most pleasing and not like any other variety yet 
produced—clear amber pink, soft, delicate, yet rich. The spikes 
are perfect—very long with many flowers open. 
Price of Any of the Above Croup 
$1.00 per dozen; $7.50 per 100 
Dr. F. E. Bennett. An outstanding red gladiolus. Deep peach 
red overlaid with flame scarlet. Lip speckled ruby and white, 
the whole giving the effect of brilliant fiery red. Flowers of 
great size. 
Golden Measure. A most delightful clear, pure yellow, over¬ 
laid with a golden sheen. Remarkable large spikes with many 
huge flowers open at one time. 
Mrs. Leon Douglas. A most deservedly popular variety. One 
of the largest grown and a beautiful bright rose color, striped 
with flame and slightly speckled ruby. 
Mrs. Van Konynenburg. One of the finest “blue” gladiolus 
we have ever seen, and the newest approach to true blue. The 
large wide open flowers of clear light blue are well placed on 
fine stems. 
Chas. Dickens. Large flowers on tall vigorous growing stems. 
Very rich, deep, velvety claret-purple, with darker blotch. 
Betty Nuthall. One of the very best of the newer Glads and 
a prize-winner in all shows, sharing the prominence of such 
varieties as Mrs. W. H. Phipps, Dr. Bennett, and Mrs. Leon 
Douglas. Its color is a rich orange salmon, with soft golden 
throat. 
Mrs. W. H. Phipps. Justly considered one of the best all pur¬ 
pose varieties. Rich peach pink in color. The tall heavy spikes 
bear as many as twenty buds, eight to twelve enormous flowers 
being open at one time. 
Veilchenblau. This and Mrs. Van Konynenburg are the two 
outstanding blue gladiolus of today. Veilchenblau is a very 
beautiful violet blue with a darker blue blotch. 
Price of the above fine varieties, 10c each 
75c per dozen, $5.00 per 100
