THE DRY WEATHER TWINS 
The cut or picture of Bit O’ Heaven on the hack of the key chart is self 
explanitory from the following: 
I have forwarded by separate mail a copy of the newspaper "le Canada” in 
which you will see a picture of your gladiolus, Bit O’Heaven, that you displayed 
at our second annual Exhibition, August 25th and 26th in the Ritz Carlton, Mon¬ 
treal. This photo was taken late in the evening of the 26th. 
What a severe test for cut gladiolus. 
Transported by auto almost four hundred miles, exhibited two full days in a 
show room. 
That this variety, Bit O’Heaven, was outstanding in its freshness and vigor 
was the remark of all those that saw it at our Show. 
I am fully convinced that this variety has a great future and will become a 
favorite with both amateur and professional growers alike. 
Sincerely yours, 
Charles H. Wilson, President, 
Province of Quebec Gladiolus Society.

Bit O’ Heaven is one of the late Prof. Crow’s seedlings which we named and 
introduced in 1935 and which we are very proud of. Its vivid orange coloring with 
eight or ten open at once is something you cannot forget. Tall, straight spike 
(around five and a half feet high) and facing of florets always good. The slight 
hood of the floret adds rather than detracts from the beauty of this Glad. The 
soft orange yellow throat blends so perfectly with the outer coloring that it does 
not seem real. Have never seen a flake or streak on any of the blooms that we 
have had.

Streak of Butter 
A+, B+, C, D, E, F—, G+, H+, I+, J+, K+, L 
Possibly one of the tallest Glads grown under normal conditions. We have 
never had a spike of Streak of Butter that has gone under five feet from a No. 3 
Bulb or larger, always straight and with from six to eight florets open at a time. 
The clean cut buff coloring blending to a light salmon at the edge with the 
soft golden throat makes a blend that is liked by all. The back of the petals have a 
salmon pink reflex which is perfect under artificial light. 
For massive basket work Streak of Butter stands supreme.

In three short seasons the fame of the Dry Weather Twins has spread to 
practically every country where good Glads are grown. Canada, England, Holland, 
Germany and even far off Australia have sent us fine reports of the behavior of the 
Dry Weather Twins. You too will like them. Why not have them in your garden 
this season and meet them.
