Comparing this catalog with previous issues, it is interesting to notice how rapidly the notations in the column for deficiencies 
are diminishing. It is a pleasure to observe that hybridizers are now apparently eliminating many of the weaknesses which accom¬ 
panied the earlier development of large-flowered varieties. In Beacon, Ninth Symphony, Resolution, Rosamond, and James Fitz. James we 
have an impressive group of recent acquisitions, indicating that the scarlet class, always one of the strongest, has shown more than 
the average improvement since our last catalog was issued.

Brightside, the only heavily ruffled orange, remains perhaps the most beautiful glad in this color section. Incense (which comes 
from unindentified primulinus ancestry) is included in the First Hundred because of its distinct tea-rose fragrance which it readily trans¬ 
mits to its seedlings (especially to those that resemble it). Note how many different originators have contributed to this color class.

A really great yellow gladiolus is still a thing of the future, but all of the above are good. Golden Goddess makes the largest spike. 
Ruffled Gold is perhaps the most beautiful. Best for cutting and bouquets is Golden Poppy, the deepest of all the yellows. Ruffled Beauty, 
our premium variety for two seasons, evoked so many requests for an opportunity to purchase it in quantity that we decided to give 
it a regular listing.
