variety possesses unusually heavy, lustrous petals which are 
beautifully ruffled. A very distinctive gladiolus.

in throat.

Eavillia (Prestgard) (Large Decorative) 
Rich medium-deep pink of lustrous heavy substance with a 
beautiful orchid-like throat marking. Opens up to five enormous 
slightly ruffled florets at one time. This variety is invariably 
one of the tallest growers in our field, often topping five feet. 
Considering both beauty and ease of culture, I am inclined to be¬ 
lieve that Lavinia will eventually take first place in popularity 
among all Mr. Prestgard’s many excellent productions to date. 
We have received an unusual number of enthusiastic testimonials 
about this variety. 
Graded Half-Dozen: $2.50 Quarter-Dozen: $1.50 
E< k sc*lii (K aylor) (Large Decorative) 
This maroon gladiolus, derived three-fourths from Purple Glory , 
is similar to its progenitor but builds a longer spike and has 
smoother, more widely open blooms. 
Graded Half-Dozen: $1.75 Quarter-Dozen: 90c 
EibHta (Pfitzer) (Medium Decorative) 
One of the clearest light blues. Not as tall as Ave Maria but 
has better color. 
Graded Dozen: 33c Half-Dozen: 17c 
Eimlesla (Palmer) (Large Decorative) 
Tall growing light salmon pink with cream throat, sometimes 
almost imperceptibly flecked another shade of pink. A very 
beautiful variety that is hard to beat as a cut flower. 
Graded Dozen: 55c Half-Dozen: 28c 
EotllS (Prestgard) (Medium Decorative) 
The one gladiolus for which we have always reserved the ad¬ 
jective ethereal (though doubtless two new sorts — Puritan and 
New Era — deserve it equally). Lotus is paler, however, than 
either of these two new varieties, being essentially a white glad¬ 
iolus blending to translucent shell pink at the tips and cream at 
the throat. Pale colors in a flower look washed-out unless the 
petals are heavy. It is the possession of fine substance and an 
unusually waxy, shell-like texture that makes Lotus preeminent 
among all delicately tinted gladioli. For both beauty and per¬ 
formance this variety receives our strongest recommendation. 
Graded Dozen: 38c Half-Dozen: 19c 
Eouis D ? Or (Pfitzer) (Medium Decorative) 
Similar to Golden Poppy but not quite as large. It has a fine red 
line in the throat. 
Graded Quarter-Dozen: $3.75 
Eouis Ci. Howe (Prestgard) (Large Decorative) 
A fine cut-flower variety: creamy flesh with unusually round 
florets. 
For sale next year. 
Eucifer (Errey) (Large Decorative) 
Velvety orange-scarlet with amaranth-crimson glow in the 
throat. Opens a long spike at one time. 
Graded Dozen: 60c Half-Dozen: 30c 
What Glads Have the Heaviest 
Substance? 
Substance, or thickness of petals, is an important beauty 
factor in the gladiolus (as in other flowers), especially 
when accompanied, as it usually is, by a commensurate 
texture (lustre) of the petals. We have made a careful 
check of this quality in all the glads on our list and find 
the varieties listed below outstanding. (It must be re¬ 
membered that good culture will increase the substance of 
a variety as well as its size.)
