CHOICE GLADIOLI 
CARPENTER'S ORIGINATI 
The season of 1935 was by far the wettest season we have 
ever had here. It opened wet, ended wet, and was wet through¬ 
out the entire season. 
Most of our Glads did very well, with the exception that a 
few of the late varieties were made still later by the wet weather 
and some varieties were frozen without blooming. 
The extra early varieties bloomed fine. Miss Harriet, 
Licketyspiit, Gypsy Girl, Segrid Stein, were the first to bloom, 
and these were followed by Normanda, Jean Phyllis, Marion 
Louise, Flossie, Marolee, Dorothy Dell, Gold Eagle, and Mary 
Frey. Soon after these came Miss Gladys Clark, Bonniebelle, 
Certy Snow, and others. 
Jean Phyllis, Gladys Clark, and Marion Louise, were espe¬ 
cially fine, and although we charged more for them as cut flowers, 
we could not nearly supply the demand. We would like to have 
10,000 bulbs of each of these varieties, for our own cut flower 
trade. 
Because of the weather conditions we did not get many of 
our Glads planted until June. Phyllis McQuiston, Recovery, 
and Prairie Gold were not as early as common, because of this,but 
nevertheless were very fine. Picardy, Wasaga, Minuet, Giant 
Nymph, Sirene, and Albatross all bloomed fine. There were 
also a few varieties that did not seem to do well in such wet 
weather, among these were Pfitzer's Triumph, Yvonne, Chautau¬ 
qua, and a few others. 
Among our seedlings in our trial plot, we had some of the 
best we had ever raised. We now have three or four large white 
seedlings, some growing nearly 6 ft. in height, with 26 to 28 buds 
on a spike, and 7 or 8 open. 
We now have several double seedlings, which come
