BABE B (Sioux) Originated near the Paul Bunyan 
country famous in legend for the blue snow and blue 
ox from what the named is derived. The nearest medi¬ 
um blue we have ever seen, being a clear solid color 
with small purple blotch and no spear points of yellow. 
Competent judges of gladiolus have stated that they 
prefer it to Ave Maria. Florets are wide open and large 
with six open on tall straight spike. Bulbs are all 
plump and high crowned and keep the best of any blue 
we grow. Very prolific and bulblets germinate close to 
100%. Any sized bulb $2.00, Bulblets 15 for $2.00.

color and opens up to 8 large wide well arranged florets.

DACHOTA (Enger) This new seedling gives us a fine 
break in having an extremely long flower head with 
many buds, with its tall straight spike and up to 26 
buds with 10 to 14 open blooms one can still have a 
balanced specimen for show work. Florets are wide 
open and arrangement is ideal, individual blooms from 
large bulbs are six inches or better in diameter and 
have excellent substance. Foliage wide and deep green 
with spike breaking well above, giving one a good long 
stem. The color is pure light cream throat blending 
beautifully to a rich salmon pink toward outer portions 
of bloom. Extremely vigorous growth from bulbs and 
bulblets. Large or Medium Bulbs $5.00 each; Bulblets 
75c, net.

Dachota in growth and vigor and will build up a spike

sembles Max Reger. Color is pure white with no trace 
of cream or other color, stamen dark blue. Large 
florets of excellent substance and is early. Both 
Dachota and Fidac should be desirable for exhibition 
and commercial purposes as they are consistent in pro¬ 
ducing excellent spikes that do not crook, good propa¬ 
gators, and their clean colors add the desired charm 
that many are lacking. L-$4.00 net.
