GLADIOLUS of 
We are describing herein the best of the newer 
glads. We have discontinued growing a good 
number of varieties, some of which have not 
been found dependable in our gardens, and 
others that for some reason, although very beau¬ 
tiful and fine, have not found favor with the 
public. 
Our price list, issued separately at intervals, 
contains many varieties of proven merit, already 
so well known that they require no description. 
As always you will find our bulbs of the high¬ 
est quality and our service of the best. 
Bagdad (Palmer). Large smoky old rose of 
Picardy type. 
Blue Admiral (Christ). Fine violet blue, one of 
the very best. 
Christabel (Mitsch). Large, soft salmon of great 
beauty. 
Dorothy Dell (Carpenter). Very fine new orange, 
flowers well placed on a graceful spike. 
Esme Desailly (Errey). A salmon pink flower 
which contains rather more yellow than usual. 
Dark penciling in the throat, rounded petals 
and wide open flowers on a tall spike. Very 
fine. 
Georgette (Kingsley) . A lovely flower of a clear, 
pure pink, cream blotch with begonia rose 
markings, daintily ruffled. Wonderful sub¬ 
stance, straight spike, exquisite form and col¬ 
oring. 
Golden Flame (Kingsley) . Here is a flower with 
a future. The plant is a strong, clean grower, 
with an always straight, tall spike. 22-24 buds 
to the spike with 6 to 9 flowers open at the 
same time. The color fRidgewayj is clear 
coral red blending to a coral pink upper throat, 
lower petals blotched pale orange-yellow with 
very faint markings of crimson deep in the 
throat. Wide open flowers hugging the stem. 
Good producer of large bulblets that germinate 
well. Should be a good commercial variety as 
it is a fine cut flower, and a good keeper. 
CUTHBERTSON 
Graf Zeppelin (Pfitzer). Bright orange scarlet of 
very satiny texture. Tall, straight spike, one 
of the best of that color. 
Heathfield (Errey). Grenadine red with deeper 
blotch. 
Jonkheer van Tets (Pfitzer). One of the three 
best whites on the market. Tall and stately 
with many flowers open.
