Finest Gladiolus 
MAID OF ORLEANS. A very large, creamy white, of fine 
substance. Tall straight spikes very pleasing. One of the 
best new whites—a variety that was in great demand last 
season, and is apparently due for a great run of popularity 
this season. Priced at:

MARMORA. The most popular of the “smoky” gladiolus voted 
fourth most popular among all gladiolus in the Amer. Glad. 
Soc., being the first smoky to “place”. Good placement 
with eight or more open at once. Tall. Color a lavender 
gray with a glowing red-violet blotch that gives it life and 
distinction. Very large.

MAUNGA. A giant white from New Zealand that has been 
grown with blooms eight inches across. Its florets are 
easily the largest of any white gladiolus, and its color is 
as clear as that of Mammoth White. Unquestionably a 
“comer”. No small or medium sized bulbs. Large, $1.50 
each 
Bulblets 20c each, 3 for 50c, 7 for $1.00. 
MAYA MAID (Salbach 1936). The most distinct and striking 
novelty since Rose Ash and Mother Machree—a real russet 
brown gladiolus. Completely distinct from any other glad¬ 
iolus, a beautiful and sensational creation. 
A sturdy grower that often blooms even from bulblets. 
Large blooms, wide open, seven or eight florets open at 
once with a total of nineteen to twenty blooms and buds. 
Coloring best described as the color of the brownest au¬ 
tumn leaves—definitely brown, but in the rich reddish shades 
of that color. The throat, which is of cream, heavily 
feathered reddish brown, blends in perfectly with the pre¬ 
dominating color of the flower. 
The finest of all the “unusual” glads that we know, 
and unquestionably bound for tremendous popularity. 
Large, $3.00 each; Med., $1.75; Small, $1.00. Bulblets, 40c 
each, 3 for $1.00. 
MILDRED LOUISE. A very large grenadine pink, blending to 
yellow in the throat with red pencilings. Ninth most popu¬ 
lar gladiolus in the A. G. S. symposium. The largest glad¬ 
iolus in its color, recognized as outstanding throughout the 
Nation. Good substance and very tall.

MILFORD. We consider this outstanding gladiolus to be the 
finest recent New Zealand creation, not even excepting Miss 
New Zealand. Greatly improved over Heavenly Blue, being 
larger, bluer in color, a vigorous grower, and fine in every 
way—our choice as the outstanding leader in the light blue 
class. Pictured on back cover page. Produces fine clean 
bulbs that keep well. Large, 75c each, 3 for $2.00; Medium, 
50c, 3 for $1.35, 6 for $2.50, 12 for $4.50; Small 30c, 3 for

BETTY NUTHALL 
Best evidence of the standards of introducing firms are the 
varieties that the firm has put into commerce. We believe 
that our own gladiolus will uphold our reputation perfectly. 
A few are: Betty Nuthall, Blue Peacock, Festival Queen, 
Gay Hussar, Golden Goddess, La Fiesta, Magna Blanca, Maya 
Maid, Miss Alameda, Opal Queen, Primrose Princess, Queen 
'Helen II, Salbach’s Ox-chid, and Salbach’s Pink.
