It was the sensation at each of these four shows! Growers who saw Heritage at these 
exhibits, freely ad miffed that it was the largest gladiolus ever exhibited in America! It 
is a perfect pure pink color of unusual purity and freshness (falling into the pure pink 
class rather than the salmon pink), with a snow white throat and white midribs. It has 
no line in the’ throat nor light streakings. We measured florets a 
full 6 inches across with 14 florets open at one time. No spike had 
less than 20 buds and some had up to 23. Some of the flowerheads 
(measuring from the first floret to the tip of the spike) w r ere up to 
31 inches long. For the Minnesota show, the spikes were out within 
4 inches from the bulb and measured over 5 feet tall! Heritage is a

perfect color, and broad, deep green foliage. Order early as stock is

causing much comment.—Mrs. Elmer W. Simanek, R. D. 1, Walker, Iowa.
