Our Introductions of 1935 
These varieties have received a real welcome, even greater than 
did our previous introductions. The many letters of praise from those 
who have grown them, amateurs, connoisseur and grower alike, speak 
most emphatically of the true value of our originations. 
ALICE HERRIOTT. A beautiful shade of rich cherry-rose, with just 
a cast of blue to the upper throat. The eight or more large flowers 
open at one time are nicely placed on a tall, always straight, strong 
spike, carrying 18 or more buds. A good grower and certain to 
become very popular. 
Large ea. $3.50 Med. ea. $2.80 Small ea. $2.00 Bulblets ea. $.60 
per 10 $30.00 per 10 $22.40 per 10 $16.00 per 10 $4.80 
ELITE. The florets are gracefully waved and large, which materially 
adds to the beauty of this distinctive salmon-pink to peach-red 
flower, with its creamy Neapolitan throat and median lines. The 
spike is very tall and strong with 18 or more buds, eight or more 
open flowers. A fast propagator and a particularly valuable new 
variety.

Golden Goddess 
Bv Salbach—(Patented) 
This marvelous new yellow is protected with the first United 
States Plant Patent issued for a gladiolus. The variety fully merits 
this protection as it is easily the most outstanding yellow gladiolus 
ever introduced. 
The flower, a soft clear golden yellow is of medium size on a 
strong spike. It consistently holds ten or more florets open at one 
time with a total of 20 or more buds to the entire spike. The florets 
open well after cut, and promises to become one of our most popular 
varieties. 
Unsolicited comments on this variety come from all over. They 
warmly praise Golden Goddess, with claims of 26 buds to the spike 
and 16 florets open, and numerous reports of blue-ribbon winnings for 
the best yellow and best spike in their respective shows. 
The purchaser of Golden Goddess bulbs (patented) is given the 
right to grow the bulb for his own use and enjoyment, but is specific¬ 
ally prohibited from selling, leasing, giving away, or otherwise trans- 
fering either bulbs, bulblets, or cuttings without written consent of 
patentee. .
