HEBERLING'S GLADIOLUS 
13 
LIGHTS OF GOLD (Hornberger) Intensely ruffled bright salmon pink with large throat 
blotch of golden yellow. A wonderfully harmoniously blended flower possessing 
much beauty. Grows rather tall but florets are not overly large. However it is a 
strong grower and good producer of bulblets which germinate well. We think this 
variety a great commercial. 
LITTLEJOHN (Stevens—1929) A beautiful ruffled rose. The spike is tall and con- 
sistently straight. The flower head is well proportioned. This is a very worth¬ 
while variety. 
LONDONDERRY (Christ) A giant spike and flower of rich orange with a touch of 
carmine in the throat. This wonderful variety is a giant in both plant and flower. 
As I write this description I have before me a spike grown from a bulblet this 
season which is thirty-six inches long after being cut with an eighteen inch flower 
head and two open florets more than five inches across. It has excellent placement, 
head good substance, and the florets open wide. Very outstanding. 
LOTUS (Prestgard—1929) A daintily colored glad of soft light pink with a cream 
throat. The shape of the spike and florets combined with this beautiful shade of 
pink make it truly exquisite. 
LOUIS D’OR (Pfitzer) Bright orange yellow prim. 
LOYALTY (Austin—1928) An excellent deep yellow. Very popular. 
LUCIFER (Errey) Bright orange with amaranth crimson blotch. Nine to eleven large 
flowers of fine form and substance are well placed on an exceptionally tall spike 
MAC (Both) See page 6 for description. 
MADAME NORENA (Prestgard—1928) A large, beautiful buff. The color is most 
pleasing, and the florets are well shaped and nicely ruffled. 
MAID OF ORLEANS (Pfitzer)—1929) Milky white with a distinctive light cream shade 
in the throat. Large flowers, consistently good spike and placement, and a beauti¬ 
ful color are among the merits of this variety. 
MAJOR BOWES (Stewart) A very large bittersweet pink overlaid with a slightly 
deeper tone, with pinard yellow throat. This is a massive plant and spike with 
heavy foliage and strong tall spike carrying eight to twelve large open flowers. 
It is a good producer and the bulblets germinate well. Major Bowes should be¬ 
come a very popular commercial variety. It has all of the points required for a 
good commercial and a good exhibition variety as well. 
MAMMOTH WHITE (Pfitzer—1922) It has a massive flower, frequently more than six 
inches in diameter, and is of the purest white. 
MANU (Burns) A New Zealand decorative variety of much merit. It received the 
F. C. C. award in New Zealand in 1936 and appears to be going places. Color, rose 
doree with small majenta-purple stripe. 
MARCHEN (Pfitzer—1932) A soft La France pink of the purest shade imaginable. The 
florets, which are over 6 inches in diameter, are of good substance and well placed 
on a strong stem. 
MARGARET PETER (Errey) An early Errey variety of white flushed pink with large 
crimson blotch. Placement nearly always perfect with eight to ten open flowers. 
A good producer and bulblets germinate well. A coming commercial we feel sure. 
MARMORA (Errey, Australia—1926) A gigantic silver gray with a rose throat. A para- 
gon of exotic beauty, Marmora, at the time of introduction, was widely acclaimed 
as the most unusual glad ever to reach the American glad fan. 
MARNIA (Kemp—1925) A rich, brilliant orange. Spike and substance are good. 
MAROCCO (Pfitzer—1927) The darkest red we have ever seen. The flowers possess 
a wax-like texture and fine substance that is most striking. 
MARY ANSTEEN (Young) A splendid deed begonia rose with lighter throat. A very 
rich and pleasing color. This variety has received many compliments from growers 
and test gardens and all are agreed that it is a very worthwhile commercial. 
Strong grower and a good producer of bulblets which germinate well and make 
good size the first season. 
MATADOR (Christ) Large lavender red with darker blotch. 
MAUNGA (Burns) A new gigantic white from New Zealand which leaves nothing 
to be desired as to size, color, and substance. It is one of largest and best whites 
that we have ever grown. If you grow it we feel sure it will please you.
