Mrs. Frank Pendleton. The finest Gia- 
1 * - diolus of the 
present time, which has been awarded the 
First-Class Certificate of Merit by the Massa¬ 
chusetts Horticultural Society of Boston, also 
Certificate of Merit by the American Gladiolus 
Society at Baltimore, Aug. 15, 1911. In color 
it is the most exquisite salmon-pink, with a 
very conspicuous blood-red blotch in the throat 
on the lower petals. During the past Summer 
we have had the largest stock with which to 
test its merits, and the results have produced 
every redeeming feature. It is without doubt 
one of the strongest growing varieties in exist¬ 
ence, attaining a height from four to- six feet. 
The foliage is exceptionally broad and of a 
beautiful deep green color, adding immensely 
to the characteristics of the plant. The flower 
stem, which is quite hard-wooded, serves to 
support the immense spike of flowers through 
heavy winds. 
This season we have particularly noticed that 
most of the bulbs, even the smaller ones, have 
thrown two excellent spikes of flowers, the 
second not being inferior to the first. The Gla¬ 
diolus Mrs. Frank Pendleton is the result of 
hybridizing the choicest of the large-flowering 
type and is now practically a type of its own. 
We have received many highly complimentary 
remarks this season wherever it has been ex¬ 
hibited.

Gladiolus, Mrs. Frank Pendleton 
Princess Sandersoni 
NiAcr?ir*a In type the variety resembles Amer- 
* Q ica, but the flowers appear to be 
somewhat larger, measuring 4% inches across. In 
color the flowers are a delightful cream shade 
with the two lower inside petals or segments 
blending to canary yellow. The throat is splashed 
with carmine, and the lower ends of the outside 
petals are also blushed with carmine. The sta¬ 
mens are purple and the stigmas pale carmine, 
this little addition in the coloring relieving the 
creamy effect of the petals.
