Miss Marion 
T HIS outstanding new Gladiolus will undoubtedly become very popular, 
dhe color is a very distinctive shade of mauve lavender that is not 
seen in any other Glad. A soft cream throat further enhances its beauty. 
When sufficient stock is available at lower prices it will become one of the 
leading cut flower varieties. 
Miss Marion is a very vigorous growing'Grladiolus, producing a sturdy 
plant with rich green foliage. The spike is tall, having 22 to 24 buds. It 
is a decorative type of flower that will open 8 to 10 florets at once and 
always in perfect placement. The substance is good and the florets will 
not burn or fleck. We have yet to see a crooked spike in hot weather and 
last summer was a very severe test. It should be valuable for breeders because 
of the number of buds to the spike and the fine growing characteristics. 
It is an excellent producer of bulblets and they germinate very easily. 
Miss Marion bulbs are the soundest and cleanest of any variety I know. 
Good early lavender Glads are scarce, so it will pay commercial growers 
to work up a stock. 
After a season’s trial on the west coast, Mr. John T. Majeski of Red¬ 
wood Nurseries says— “Miss Marion did fine and I consider it one of the best 
lavenders. It should give Minuet a good run. 1 am glad to find it so much 
earlier than Minuet.”
