posium. Each 10c, 3-20c, 6-35c, 12-60c, 25-

Miss Alameda (Salbach 1931f). This coming 
gladiolus has been greatly under-rated be¬ 
cause a large stock permitted its introduction 
at a low price. We regard it as one of our 
finest, ranking it as one of the best all- 
around gladiolus ever produced. 
Similar to Los Angeles, but with better 
color, larger florets, longer spike, and more 
florets open at once. Deep saffrano pink with 
carmine tongue and feathering. Big well ex¬ 
panded round blooms and as many as six of 
its eighteen or nineteen buds open at once.

lar among florists. L., 20c, 3-50c, 6-80c, 12- 
$1.50; Med., 15c, 3-35c, 6-55c, 12-$1.00; S., 10c, 
3-20c, 6-35c, 12-60c, 25-$1.10. Bits., 50 for
