HEBERLING'S GLADIOLUS 
VEILCHENBLAU (Pfitzer—1922) One of the finest and most popular of the standard 
blues. 
VIENNA WOODS (Christ—1933) A large violet blue similar to Blue Admiral. 
VIRGINIA A flaming red, old but still a wonderful color. Spikes are rather short 
when grown out of doors. 
VIRGINIA SKELLY (Kunderd-Skelly) A tall, dainty, graceful and well ruffled decora 
tive and commercial variety. Pink and cream of color, delicate yet rich. A pastel 
variety of merit. Prolific and a good commercial. 
WARATAH (Errey—1930) A brilliant orange scarlet, the center is crimson touched 
with cream. An outstanding exhibition red. Length of spike, number open, place¬ 
ment, and size of floret were all good. 
WASAGA (Palmer—1932) A glowing iridescent buff, distinctly beautiful. The color 
is beautifully clear, the spike good, and the florets are nicely ruffled. 
W. H. PHIPPS (Diener—1921) The exhibition king. The enormous spikes and flowers 
of La France pink have been the sensation of flower shows for years. 
WHERO (Burns—1933) A very brilliant scarlet-red with darker flecks at the outer 
edges of the petals. The blooms are large and of good substance. 8 to 10 open 
at one time. An outstanding exhibition variety. 
WHITE ORCHID (Purple) A splendid small decorative white. Very early. 
WHITE TRIUMPHATOR (Holland) A large fine white from Holland. This new variety 
won much favor at the Haarlem Show. Also Trial Garden awards. 
WINGED VICTORY (Briggs—1928) A very large clear pink. The flowers shade to 
white in the throat. 
WINGS OF JOY (Christ—1933) A massive Phipps type glad. The color is an unusual 
blend of flesh and light salmon. Many massive florets open at once. 
WINGS OF SONG (Ellis) A very large shrimp pink, shaded lighter in throat, which 
is a rival of Picardy. Being a Picardy seedling it has a just right to such rivalry. 
Giant spike and flower of a beautiful pink. A sturdy grower and a splendid pro¬ 
ducer of bulblets which grow. We like it and think it will go places. 
WURTEMBERGIA (Pfitzer—1929) A brilliant scarlet with cream blotch. Although the 
contrast in colors is not as marked in this variety as it is in Victor, Wurtembergia 
has much better growing habits. 
YELLOW EMPEROR (Ellis—1931) A beautiful rich soft yellow with an extremely 
good flower head. Florets of good size and well placed. We regard it as very 
much worthwhile. 
New London, Conn., March 29, 1937.
