GENERAL LIST OF 
GLADIOLUS 
All our bulbs are plump, healthy, and free 
from injurious insects of all sorts, and both 
large and medium bulbs are of blooming size. 
Small bulbs usually produce blooms late in the 
season. Bulblets seldom bloom the first year, 
and cannot be guaranteed to grow, as a per¬ 
centage of these “baby” bulbs always fail to 
germinate. 
Large bulbs are 1% inches in diameter or 
over; medium size are 1 inch to 1% inches; 
and small bulbs are V 2 to % inch. L.=large, 
Med.=medium, S.=small. When the size is 
not noted, large size is implied. 
For quantity prices in all standard sizes and 
bulblets, see page 13. For special collections see 
pages 9, 10 and 11. Primulinus type listed sep¬ 
arately on page 8. 
The 3-6-12-25 prices are applicable to one 
individual variety, not to different ones priced 
alike—no quantity less than 100 at the hundred 
rate. 
These prices cancel all previous quotations. 
Large Flowering Type 
Alma Needham ( Salbach ). Large wide open 
flowers of pure La France pink. Fine place¬ 
ment and good substance. Very early. This 
was the most thrips resistant of all the gladi¬ 
olus tested at the Davis branch of the Uni¬ 
versity of California. Each 10c, 3-25c, 6-40c, 
12-75c, 25-$1.35. 
Atherton {Fletcher ). Huge new light yellow. 
Perhaps the largest yellow on the market. 
Excellent for cutting. L., 40c, 3-$1.00; Med., 
30c, 3 for 75c; S., 20c, 3-50c, 6-$1.00, 12-$1.90. 
Bits., 6 for 25c, 100 for $3.00. 
Beacon {Palmer). A new and unusual gladi¬ 
olus, introduced last season. Large blooms of 
bright scarlet with cream blotch. Its unusual 
height brings it well above the average 
height, so its bright coloring shows to strik¬ 
ing advantage in the garden. Eight florets 
open at once. Each, $4.00. No medium, small 
or bulblets for sale. 
Betty Nuthall {Salbach). This most outstand¬ 
ing variety should be in every garden. Color 
glowing orange pink with light yellow throat. 
Immense florets, perfect placement, six to 
eight blooms open, and heavy substance. 
Probably the most vigorous grower of all 
gladiolus, sometimes producing as many as 
five spikes to a single bulb. Late bloomer. 
See color picture, page ten. Third most 
popular gladiolus in A.G.S. Symposium, win¬ 
ner of countless prizes. Each 10c, 3-15c, 6-30c, 
12-50c, 25-$1.00. 
LA FIESTA 
". . a clear, bright orange that does not fade.”
