A most sensational flower. ' This fine 
Gladiolus, the individual florets all ex¬ 
tremely large, slightly ruffled and of 
heavy wax-like substance, has created 
a sensation practically every time ex¬ 
hibited. "Picardy" is unquestionably one 
of the most outstanding recent introduc¬ 
tions. Color: Soft shrimp pink, without 
flecking. Blotch of light flesh pink. 
Though gigantic in size, Picardy is any¬ 
thing but coarse. See illustration on first
