Mrs. Francis King 
Mrs. Frank Pendleton. The flowers 
are very large and well- 
expanded, of a lovely flushed 
salmon-pink with brilliant car¬ 
mine, or deep blood-red blotches 
in the throat, presenting a vivid 
contrast of orchid-like attrac¬

strong foliage and effective 
flower-spikes. The magnificent

flowers well spread out on the 
spike at the same time. The 
color, brilliant flamingo-pink, 
blazed with vermilion-red, is 
most effective both in daylight

aniline blue; beats far the color 
of any other blue variety; grows 
5 feet tall; stems erect, flowers 
well placed on stem; even the

its true color; without a doubt 
the best blue variety . 2.00 10.00 
Peace. One of the grandest white 
introductions. A most desirable 
Gladiolus in any collection. This 
variety produces blooms of a 
better white later in the season 
than most sorts. Bulbs planted 
late in June have produced won¬ 
derful flowers in September. .75 4.50 
Pfitzer’s Triumph. Enormous blooms 
of a bright salmon-orange col¬ 
or, with small deeper throat 
blotch. Almost a self color; 
two to four blooms open at

needs staking to withstand rain 
and wind. It lias created a great 
sensation in the exhibition. 2.00 12.50

outstanding varieties ever in¬

pink with a silver sheen, fea¬ 
thering of deeper color in the

blooms open at one time, well 
placed on graceful spikes. A 
prize winner wherever shown. 2.00 15.00

ket . Extra good forcer.75 5.00
