A GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S CATALOG 
15 
Pasteur (Lemoine) (Large Decorative) 
Novel smoky of heavy substance. Almost a chocolate or ma¬ 
hogany color with a small triangular throat marking of cream. 
Graded Dozen: 70c Half-Dozen: 35c 
Pearl of California (Kingsley) (Large Decorative) 
Light pink with white throat. Opens many florets at one time 
on a distinctive tapering spike. Beautiful but not everywhere an 
easy grower. 
Graded Dozen: 40c Half-Dozen: 20c 
Pelegrina (Pfitzer) (Large Decorative) 
Deep violet-blue. When observed in the sun, this variety has 
all the lustre of deep blue velvet. By far the most beautiful “blue” 
when well grown. 
Graded Dozen: 33c Half-Dozen: 17c 
Pfitzor’s Masterpiece (Pfitzer) (Large Decorative) 
Light salmon pink with cream throat. 
For sale next year. 
Pfilzer’s Triumph (Pfitzer) (Large Decorative) 
Wonderfully velvety salmon-scarlet with ruby throat. Plant 
this late so it will bloom in September if you live in a region of 
torrid summers. 
Graded Dozen: 33c Half-Dozen: 17c 
Phyllis McQuiston (Stewart) (Large Decorative) 
An excellent all-around pure pink, practically without mark¬ 
ings. A strong grower that should have a fine future as a com¬ 
mercial. 
Graded Half-Dozen: 57c Quarter-Dozen: 28c 
Picardy (Palmer) (Exhibition) 
The buxom prima donna of the gladiolus world. A lavishly 
beautiful rich apricot-salmon overlain with a slight silvery mist 
like the blush on blue grapes. Picardy has achieved wider popu¬ 
larity than any other variety in history and is today the standard 
by which all other glads are judged — consciously or uncon¬ 
sciously. This giant variety should be the backbone of every fine 
gladiolus collection. 
Graded Dozen: 33c Half-Dozen: 17c 
Pimpernel (Mair) (Large Decorative) 
Red with small white throat. This variety opens about ten 
three-inch florets at one time, but blooms are not as broadly open 
as one might like. 
Graded Dozen: 50c Half-Dozen: 25c 
Pinnaele (Arenius) (Large Decorative) 
Cerise pink with six to eight round blooms open at one time. 
Graded Dozen: 66c Half-Dozen: 33c 
Polar I©e (Pfitzer) (Medium Decorative) 
New white commercial. Earlier, snowier than Maid of Orleans , 
but not as tall nor as good in respect to placement. 
Graded Dozen: 70c Half-Dozen: 35c 
Pralri© Golll (Corrington) (Medium Decorative) 
Rich, deep golden yellow. A promising cut-flower variety. 
Graded Quarter-Dozen: $3.00 
Premi©r (Prestgard) (Large Decorative) 
Slighdy ruffled cream blushed apricot near the tips. A gladiolus 
of very heavy substance. A moderately tall grower with a long 
spike. 
Graded Quarter-Dozen: $1.75 
Premier Henry (Palmer) (Medium Decorative) 
A gorgeously ruffled rich salmon-pink glad of the heaviest 
substance. Supremely beautiful when well grown but insists on 
plenty of water. 
Graded Half-Dozen: 92c Quarter-Dozen: 46c 
Pride of Portland (Ellis) (Large Decorative) 
The color of this glad lies at that indescribable point where 
pink and scarlet meet. It is about the same shade as Red Phipps 
(also nearly a pink) but has a small distinct blotch of cream. 
Graded Dozen: 35c Half-Dozen: 18c 
Primate (Crow) (Medium Decorative) 
A very tall-growing light yellow that is ideal for cutting. 
Graded Dozen: 33c Half-Dozen: 17c 
Primrose Queen (Gelser) (Medium Decorative) 
Ruffled light yellow self of fine vigor. Can be counted on to 
produce an excellent spike. 
Graded Half-Dozen: 90c Quarter-Dozen: 45c 
Puritan (Baerman) (Medium Decorative) 
In color and size similar to Lotus, (but a slightly deeper shade 
of pink); in heaviness of substance and ruffling similar to Solveig. 
An exceedingly beautiful new variety. 
For prices see page 1. 
Purple Glory (Kunderd) (Large Decorative) 
Dark rose-red, ruffled. An old favorite. 
Graded Dozen: 33c Half-Dozen: 17c 
Queen Mary (Mair) (Large Decorative) 
Ruffled flesh pink of crystalline texture. Exquisitely beautiful 
when well grown. In rainy weather or upon a sudden drop in 
temperature this variety sometimes flecks beyond recognition — 
becoming almost a solid rosy lavender. 
Graded Dozen: $1.00 Half-Dozen: 50c
