MRS. P. W. SISSON (Coleman) Early mid-season. Beautiful 
clear cameo pink. Many large open florets on a long, flower¬ 
ing spike, but somewhat lacking in stem. Second size bulbs 
$9.00 per 1000, third size $7.00, fourth size $5.00. 
BERTY SNOW (Mair) Mid-season. New rosy lavender, which 
sometimes flecks, but even then a very beautiful color. Many 
open florets of good substance and excellent placement. 
Second size bulbs $12.00 per 1000, third size $9, fourth size $7. 
BETTY NUTHALL (Salbach) Very late. Glowing orange-pink 
with lighter throat. A very tall, vigorous grower. Many open 
well placed florets make this an outstanding variety. Second 
size bulbs $9.00 per 1000, third size $7.00, fourth size $5.00, fifth 
size $3.00, sixth size $2.00. 
DR. F. E. BENNETT (Diener) Early mid-season. Brilliant 
orange-scarlet. A color much in demand. Extra large and 
vigorous. Acknowledged one of the best. Second size bulbs 
$12.00 per 1000, third size $9.00, fourth size $7.00. 
PFITZER’S TRIUMPH (Pfitzer) Early mid-season. Enormous 
blooms Gi a bright orange-red color, with small deeper throat 
blotch. Almost a self color, two to four blooms open at once. 
Striking for exhibition purposes. Not desirable as an outdoor 
flower on account of wilting down in strong sun, and the fact 
that it needs staking to withstand rain and wind. Has created 
a sensation in the show-rooms around the world. Second size 
bulbs $12.00 per 1000, third size $9.00, fourth size $7.00. 
PICARDY (Palmer) Late. Soft shrimp pink, clear and clean 
with a blotch of light flesh-pink which blends back into the 
main color. Seven to ten open florets which measure six 
inches across on a tall strong spike. A perfect color, a giant in 
size and the most sensational variety in recent years. Excellent 
propagator. Second size bulbs $20.00 per 1000, third size $16.00, 
lourth size $10.00, fifth size $8.00, sixth size $5.00. 
GOLDEN DREAM (Groff) Late. Clear deep yellow. Tall, 
straight, vigorous plant. Very popular. A variety of good 
growth habits. Second size bulbs $8.00 per 1000, third size $5.00, 
fourth size $4.50. 
MAID OF ORLEANS (Pfitzer) Mid-season. Beautiful milky 
white with cream throat. Tall, vigorous grower with eight or 
more well placed blooms open at a time. This is a new variety 
but already recognized as a leader. Second size only $55.00 per 
1000. 
MARMORA (Errey) Mid season. Very large flower of an un¬ 
usual mauve gray coloring. Sometimes called a smoky laven¬ 
der. This variety is of the present popular exhibition type, with 
eight to ten large heavy florets open at once. An outstanding 
novelty. Second size bulbs, $12.00 per 1000, third size $9.00, 
fourth size $7.00. 
RED PHIPPS (Briggs) Early mid-season. Warm light-red, a 
color needed in commercial work. Many open flowers and bet¬ 
ter in some respects than the well-known W. H. Phipps. One 
of the best of the new Gladiolus. Second size bulbs $55.00 per 
1000, third size $40.00. 
VEILCHENBLAU (Pfitzer) Early mid-season. The leading 
blue Gladiolus. The first large, vigorous violet-blue Gladiolus. 
Has a darker blotch on the lower petals, which adds to the 
beauty of the flower. Color suggests that of the iris. Second 
size bulbs $20.00 per 1000, third size $16.00, fourth size $12.00. 
W. H. PHIPPS (Diener) Late. LaFrance pink, overlaid with 
light rose-salmon. Lighter towards center, with lightly speck¬ 
led ruby throat markings. From 12 to 20 florets open at a
