HEBERLING'S GLADIOLUS 
BLUE ADMIRAL (Christ—1932) In my opinion this variety is one of the best blues 
ever to have been introduced. Its color is a most pleasing medium blue. It fre¬ 
quently produces florets five and one-half inches or more across. The spike is 
unusually tall and straight and the placement is very good. 
BLUE DANUBE (Pfitzer—1929) A very fine light blue. The color is a shade lighter 
than Mrs. Van Konyenburg, and the placement is better. The spike is exceptionally 
tall. 
BLUE PEACOCK (Salbach—1932) A relatively new blue by the originator of Betty 
Nuthall. Blue Peacock is more nearly a true blue than most so-called blues; there 
is less violet in the ground color. The dark purple blotch in the throat is surrounded 
by cream, giving the appearance of a peacock eye for which the variety was named 
BLUE ROYALE (Vaughan—1931) A tall, dark violet blue. The throat of the floret 
is blotched with cream. This variety produces a long, well proportioned spike 
and flower head. 
BLUE TRIUMPHATOR (Pfitzer) A very large light blue with six to eight large flowers 
open at one time. Substance appears light. This variety was brought out a few years 
ago at $100.00 per bulb. 
BLUE WONDER (Both, Aus.) Described in front of catalog. 
BONNIE BLUE (Christ) A new medium blue with darker throat. 
BREAK O’ DAY (Bill—1924) An early, light pink, commercial of great merit. 
CADILLAC (Vaughan—1929) A tall, rich yellow. The florets are a golden apricot 
yellow, and have no marking in the throat. The spike is unusually fine and it 
carries as many as seven open flowers. 
CANBERRA (Errey—1927) Tall, outstanding yellow of good substance. The length 
of spike, size of florets and excellence of color make Canberra a fine show variety. 
CANYON VIOLET (Vaughan—1932) Deep violet blue, small purple plume. Very tall 
with from four to six well placed florets open at a time. It has been a slow 
propagator with us. 
CARA MIA (Miller—1927) An early, deep shrimp pink primulinus grandiflorous. 
CHARLES DICKENS (Pfitzer—1925) A large aster purple variety. The spike, which 
is usually long, carries many buds and open flowers. 
CHRIST A BEL (Mitsch) La France pink with sulphur yellow throat. Tall, slender spikes 
with seven to ten large flowers open at once. 
COMMANDER KOEHL (Pfitzer—1928) A massive blood red. The florets of this fine 
variety are often six inches across. The spike is exceptionally long and straight 
It produces huge spikes even from small bulbs. 
COPPERF1ELD (Australia) An outstanding exhibition variety. A blend of deep coppery 
bronze and slate with a large rich velvety cherry colored blotch, beautifully edged 
with bright copper. The edges of the ruffled petals are heavily flecked with mul¬ 
berry. The spike is extra long with ten to twelve immense flowers of splendid 
form open. Unusually good. 
CORONATION (Palmer—1932) Soft, light salmon shading to cream and creamy yellow 
in throat. Many large, well placed blooms open on moderately tall, strong spike. 
This is a beautiful exhibition variety. _ 
D. A. HAY (Whitely, N. Zealand) This very popular variety has won many champion- 
ships in N. Z. Color is pink, with a creamy white throat. Opens 10 on a tall, 
straight spike. 
DANNY BOY (Julyan) Brownish slate, with deep orange throat. Many open and a 
beautiful spike. One of the most admired in our garden. Outstanding. Good propa¬ 
gator and germinator. 
DEARBORN (Vaughan—1930) A tremendously large orange yellow. The throat is 
marked with a feathering of deep crimson. Tall, straight spike carries twenty 
or more buds with many huge florets open at once. 
DEBON AIR (Palmer—1932) LaFrance pink to shrimp pink in throat with creamy 
throat mark. The tall, strong, always straight spike carries six to eight large 
open flowers. Debonair is truly excellent. 
DECEMBER SNOW (Nitchman) A large creamy white. 
DO X (Pfitzer) A large amber yellow variety. Said by the originators to be the largest 
yellow gladiolus in commerce.
