M.-S. EXHIBITION COLLECTION 
NO. 1 
La Paloma. A vivid, orange colored 
Gladiolus of large size. Splendid spikes 
for cutting. 
Canberra. Beautiful clear yellow blooms 
on tall plants. 
Picardy. Clear flesh pink, quite un¬ 
marked, shading to soft shrimp pink at 
the petal edges, the most exquisite 
shade imaginable. The flowers are un¬ 
usually wide and well-opened, often 
6 in. or more across, and as many as ten 
of them in full glory at one time on the 
tall, straight spikes. It cuts well, keeps 
well, and increases rapidly. No other 
pink Gladiolus is more charming in 
color, or more satisfactory in habit. 
Minuet. Clear light lavender with just a 
hint of opalescent shading. In our 
opinion this is still the finest of all lav¬ 
ender varieties. 
Marie Kunderd. Beautiful ruffled snow 
white of distinct shape. Sometimes faint 
pink lines on the lip. Very early. One of 
the best white varieties.

of each, 40c.; 5 of each, $1.50; 10 of

M.-S. GLADIOLUS COLLECTION 
NO. 2 
Pfitzer’s Triumph. Enormous blooms 
of bright salmon orange, with very 
small, deeper throat blotch; on account 
of the gigantic flowers, the stems re¬ 
quire staking. Early. This variety is a 
sensation at all shows; ideal for exhibi¬ 
tion purposes.

orange flame. 
Jenny Lind. The blossoms are pure apri¬ 
cot pink; throat pale yellow. One of the

introduced so far. 
Mrs. F. C. Hornberger. Many Gladio¬ 
lus have been described as snowy white, 
but very few of them have been without 
at least a faint overlay of ivory, or 
flushing of pink. This sort is really as 
white as new snow, with not even a 
throat marking. Fine, large, ruffled 
flowers on good spikes. 
Dr. F. E. Bennett. Shows up like "house- 
afire” in any collection. Bright scarlet, 
large flower.
