FROSTPINK ornatus 98 *— ft Dec. A 
Champion first time shown. Soft, medium 
values of pink, modulating into general 
effect of “Frostpink” (Textile Color Card 
Ass’n. of U. S.). No other markings. In¬ 
tensely ruffled. Superb cut flower traits. 
Florets 4)^-53^ inches, 5-7 open, 15-18 
bud, 4 ft. high. Good propagator. Florets 
open slowly and make the most lasting 
spike within our knowledge, both in the 
field and when cut. Spikes cut at any stage 
after first color open out beautifully to the 
tip. Decorative color, form, placement 
and ruffling combined to better effect than 
we have ever had the pleasure to see in any 
other one gladiolus. 1st for us as best Dec.

MISS NEW ZEALAND 93 ***—fttt Exh. 
First offered in U. S. by Dr. Barber and by 
us in 1934 at $30. per bulb. All catalogers 
scrambling for stocks to list ever since. 
Color difficult to describe or classify. A 
deep pink suffused rose with some ground 
color of dark apricot salmon. A distinc¬ 
tive throat of color of a ripe peach. We 
have grown long spikes with 10 open 
florets, as many more in bud, the three 
Dr. Pease and spike of Frank McCoy 
lower florets a full 8 inches diameter, the 
other seven tapering off to 7 inches. Un¬ 
doubtedly the giant of giants. If you con¬ 
clude a grain of salt should be taken with 
this description you may regret it. Ex¬ 
cellent substance, straight spikes, power¬ 
ful grower, acclimates easily and a good 
propagator even from large bulbs. Champ
