FESTIVAL QUEEN (Salbach 1934). A huge clear geranium 
pink self with soft carmine markings on lower petals. Im¬ 
mense blooms over six inches across, five or six open at 
one time with twelve or thirteen buds to come. Consistent¬ 
ly placed, and correctly faced. 
One of the parents of Grand Opera, our sensational giant 
pink seeding (awaiting stock for introduction) which meas¬ 
ures as large as Miss New Zealand. Festival Queen is 
a “must have” for breeders because its characteristic huge 
well expanded florets carry on freely in its offspring. 
Wide rounded blooms give the appearance of greater 
size and available at a much lower price than other of the 
new “giant” gladiolus: Large 50c each, 3 - $1.25, 12 - $4.50; 
Med., 30c, 3 - 75c, 12 - $2.50; Small 20c each, 3 - 50c, 
12 - $1.75. Bulblets: 10 for 50c, 100 for $3.00.

most remarkable exhibition flower that has won blue rib¬ 
bon after blue ribbon. Priced at:

FREDERICK CHRIST. Very large flowers of delicate shrimp 
pink, with cream throat suffused shrimp. A beautiful variety 
that we consider one of Diener’s best. Scarcity of stock 
has always held this fine variety from greater recognition. 
Large bulbs only, available while stock last at 10c each, 
3 - 25c, 6 - 40c, 12 - 75c, 25 - $1.35. Bulblets - 40 for 50c,

GAY HUSSAR (Salbach). Soft orange shading to strawberry 
pink, with blotch of bright orange. The finest non-fading 
gladiolus on the orange shades, excepting the newer and 
more expensive La Fiesta, which is incidentally a seedling 
from Gay Hussar. Gay Hussar has just been given an 
Award of Merit at the R. H. S. trial Gardens at Wisley, 
England, and is most popular everywhere. Priced at:

Carl Salbach ... 
Finest Gladiolus 
GOLDEN GODDESS (Salbach 1935). The first patented 
gladiolus. Sold under the protection of United States Plant 
Patent No. 77. 
Our predictions made in past seasons have been complete¬ 
ly upheld by the actual performance of this fine flower. 
Best evidence of this is in the many unsolicited comments we 
have received from Canada, America, and Australia. They 
include: 
“Golden Goddess has been wonderful here this year. 
Much better than I thought it was. Have one in my 
office now with twelve open and the color is good.” 
This in a letter just received from one of the most 
prominent Eastern growers. 
“Would like to congratulate you on your wonderful 
gladiolus Golden Goddess. It has caused a sensation 
here in Australia this season. Have grown it with six¬ 
teen open flowers on a spike and the spike has twenty- 
four buds.” 
“I took a chance and split the bulb of Golden Goddess 
and got two real plants, very strong, healthy, and vig¬ 
orous, and I cut two magnificent spikes. One had 
twenty-six and the other twenty-five buds and they 
opened up twelve in good condition. The heights were 
respectively fifty-four and fifty-six inches. The color 
left very little to be desired; facing was ideal—90 to 95 
rating with me. Just let me say that I am more than 
satisfied. I have bloomed almost every yellow in ex¬ 
istence including Golden Fleece, Golden Chimes, Gate 
of Heaven—but why enlarge ? Golden Goddess has 
them all beat.” 
“Golden Goddess has now bloomed here and the 
spikes I saw certainly live up to your claims for it. Un¬ 
fortunately none were in bloom for the Glad. Show 
here, but the Goddess would certainly be a contender 
for best glad in the show.” 
“The finest yellow I know. My spike, which took 
first as best yellow in the show, was easily the best 
in its color I have ever grown.” 
“Last year I bought Golden Goddess from you. We 
had an unusually late freeze which froze it to the 
ground. It came up again and produced a spike beyond 
my dreams. Twelve large perfect florets opened at 
one time with perfect placement.” 
In addition, one prominent firm pronounced Golden 
Goddess “a real acquisition” after testing it, while anoth¬ 
er reports as follows: 
“This is the top yellow we have had to grow and 
rate.” 
Ten to twelve of the twenty-one to twenty-six florets open 
at once in a deep, rich golden yellow. Not a single spike 
to date has given any evidence of whorling, even from 
bulblet stock. Every bud opens when cut, and the florets 
are of good size, the flower spike long, and the color clear 
and deep with no markings or shadings of another color. 
Golden Goddess is the first patented gladiolus, and a 
warning is supplied with each bulb to the effect that it 
can be grown for the personal enjoyment of the purchaser, 
but that no stock of Golden Goddess may be sold, leased, 
or given away or in any way transferred without the writ¬ 
ten consent of Carl Salbach, the patentee. 
A few reliable firms have been granted permission to 
sell bulbs of Golden Goddess in the United States this year, 
using a stock supplied by us. 
Only large bulbs are being offered by us and no one else 
is authorized to sell medium or small sized bulbs, or bulb¬ 
lets in the United States. Large bulbs only, each $1.00, 
3 for $2.50.
