HEBERLING’S GLADIOLUS 
The substance is as heavy or heavier than Minuet and florets are set close to 
the spike and flowers open wide. 
The color is best described as Tyrian Pink and is almost a self except for a slightly 
lightei rib in the center of each petal and a touch of Tyrian Rose in the throat. For 
those who do not have a color chart I would say it is a beautiful light rose with a tint 
of lavender. The color is unusually clear. 
Beautiful Ohio has been bred where our summer days are hot and the spike and 
flower will stand an unusual amount of heat without burning. Spikes did not burn in 
the summers of 1934 and 1936 which were the hottest on record. 
Beautiful Ohio produces bulblets in about the same quantities as Minuet and 
about the same size. They germinate quite well, much better than Minuet bulblets. 
Without special care those we planted this season germinated from seventy-five to 
eighty per cent. 
In the spring of 1935 we purchased one-half of the stock of Beautiful Ohio and 
since then have grown in in our own gardens. The originator, Mr. Hullibarger, is 
owner of the other half and is offering his stock at the same prices as quoted below.

REPORT FROM E. A. LINS, TRIAL GARDENS, SPRING GREEN, WIS. 
September 12, 1936. 
“Beautiful Ohio planted May 21st, bloomed August 17th. Forty-eight inches or 
more tall, carried twenty (20) buds 4% to 5 inches when open. Opens six with six 
buds in color. Spike always straight, medium weight, medium upright healthy foliage. 
Placement very good and very good facing. Blooms of good substance. Very good 
pink. Considering the drought and 114 degree heat we had in the shade I feel this 
performed exceptionally well.”

GOLDEN LANCER 
OUR 1936 INTRODUCTION 
A large Pinard Yellow, with short delicate rose red lines in throat, producing 
spikes from 40 to 48 inches tall. The florets measure from 4*/2 to 5 inches in size with 
four to six open. The spikes carry from 18 to 21 buds and flowers which are well 
placed on a long flower head. Golden Lancer produced the largest florets of any yel¬ 
low in our garden the past season. It is a strong, sturdy plant with healthy foliage 
and produces clean healthy bulbs. Both bulbs and bulblets possess great vitality and 
practically all of the bulblets germinate. It produces many large bulblets and many 
of them, if planted early, will make bulbs of size one and two the first season under 
favorable conditions. I regard this variety as a very outstanding commercial yellow. 
A few of these bulbs were sent to customers last season for trial under the name of 
Seedling No. 101 and we have some very good reports from them.
