THIS SEASON * ' SEE 
MOTHER MACHREE (Stevens). Difficult to describe. A 
greyish lavender with flashes of salmon pink and a touch 
of gold in the throat. Some of the colors one sees in a 
beautiful sunset. A smoky that is as good today as it was 
when it sold for $100.00 a bulb, only a few years ago. 
PELEGRINA (Pfitzer). A pure dark violet blue, lower 
petals somewhat darker. Stands excessive heat as do 
few other varieties. When the first floret opens, nearly 
all the 16-1S buds are showing color. This makes the spike 
with its perfectly faced flowers very attractive. There 
are 6-8 florets open at a time. A good grower and a splen¬ 
did propagator. Every one who grows glads should have it. 
PICARDY (Palmer) is the most spectacular pink of the last 
few years. The very large flowers of wonderful form, the 
warmth of the coloring, the tall spikes on which the flow¬ 
ers are ideally spaced, all combine to make Picardy the 
glad of indescribable charm. It has more winnings to its 
credit than any other glad of recent introduction. 
PARADISE (Pruitt). Clear apricot, opening 6-7 large flor¬ 
ets at a time. Tall, straight spikes with perfect place¬ 
ment. Robust grower, heavy producer, germinates well. 
A good commercial. Early.

SOLVEIG (Prestgard). New tall white of unusually heavy 
substance. Its beautifully ruffled florets of heavy white 
velvet hold up under intensive heat better than any other 
gladiolus we have ever grown. Spikes come straight un¬ 
der all weather conditions and the placement of the 5 or 
6 wide open flat florets, measuring 6 Y 2 inches, is as per¬ 
fect as could be desired. One of but two seedlings award¬ 
ed the FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE of the American 
Gladiolus Society in the last 16 years. 
WASAGA (Palmer). A clear capucine buff without throat 
markings or flecking. Straight spike of medium height. 
Five wide open, waved and well ruffled blooms open at 
one time. With the exception of Solveig this is the only 
variety to receive a first class certificate in the seedling 
class of the American Gladiolus Society since 1916. 
WUERTEMBERGIA (Pritzer). Very tall spikes of large 
scarlet flowers with cream and white throat blotches. 
One of the most popular in our gardens and will be in 
demand as a cut flower.
