1938 Seedling Introductions 
'Summer Breeze’ (No. 36-22F) (Mibloom x Triumph) x (Mibloom x iMam. White) A fragrant rich pink Prim Grand with 
heavily ruffled Petals of heavy substance. Opens 4-5 four-inch florets on a medium tall spike. Fragrance is sweet and rose¬ 
like, strong and persistent, throughout the day. A distinct advance in fragrant glads. Healthy grower and good propagator. 
Stock scarce and only 10 bulbs and a limited number of bulblets for sale this year. ‘Summer Breeze’ and ‘Honeysuckle’ are 
not chance fragrant seedlings but were developed by selective crossing with the direct aim of increasing fragrance, with the 
result that these two seedlings are the third successive generation in which fragrance appears. 1-inch Bulbs, $5.00; Bulblets, 
50c. 
'Honeysuckle' (No. 36-43F — Sister seedling of ‘Summer Breeze’) Carries a spicy fruity fragrance like that of some 
hybrid tea roses. Not quite as fragrant as ‘Summer Breeze.’ A deep pink with an orange tone, somewhat ruffled, good sub¬ 
stance, 4 four-inch florets open on a medium tall spike. Healthy grower and a rapid propagator. Stock limited. 1-inch Bulbs, 
$2.50; Bulblets, 25c. 
‘Seven Seas’ (335-101) An unusually attractive tone in the medium blue shades with a very subdued throat mark of 
same shade on slight white feather. A slightly deeper flecking as well as a suggestion of blue green blend in its ground color 
gives the appealing effect of sea green depths. Spike is tail and straight with up to seven 5-inch florets open in very fine 
double row arrangement. Its color and spike habits make ‘Seven Seas’ the best cut flower blue I know. Another very val¬ 
uable feature of ‘Seven Seas’ is its ability to stand up perfectly under heat intense enough to cause every other blue that I 
know to wilt badly. Rapid propagator and very healthy grower. 1-inch Bulfcls, $5.00; Bulblets, 50c. 
‘Jacinth’ (35-5) (Ramesses x Picardy) A warm orange blend with lavender suffusion which produces a captivating play 
of color. Six to seven wide open 414 -inch florets open on a fine straight? spike. Makes a-very reliable cut flower in this 
color class. Rapid propagator and healthy grower. Substance is heavy and lasting. ‘Jacinth’ has given us some very fine 
seedlings in vivid orange and orange-yellow tones. 1-inch Bulbs, $2.50; Bulblets, 25c; Small Bulbs, $1.50. 
‘Man o’ War’ (34E48) A seedling of Com. Koehl and Mrs. Errey with a brighter and lighter color than Com. Koehl. 
Spike very tall and very straight with up to seven 5-inch florets open in very good arrangement, making an unusually well 
balanced spike. This was shown in the seedling class in 1936 at Ithaca, where it received an Honorable Mention as well as 
much favorable comment from growers. A very strong and healthy grower, giving many bulblets which germinate easily 
and make unusually large growth. I believe this will prove a valuable cut flower as well as an exhibition variety. 1-inch 
Bulbs, $5.00; Bulblets, 50c. 
‘Euphony’ (35-19) (Picardy x Wasaga) Shades of deepest apricot and salmon (almost tan) with a faint rose blotch. 
Midribs touched with a deep lavender suffusion, back of petals flushed a smoky lavender. These colors blend with all the 
subtlety found in some of the newer iris blends, a feature not common in glads. Five 4-inch florets open on a good spike 
which, however, sometimes crooks. Florets somewhat ruffled. Very rapid propagator. 1-inch Bulbs, $2.00; Small Bulbs, 
$1.00; Bulblets, 25c; 10 Bulblets, $2.00.

1937 Seedling Introductions 
Fortune (Moorish King x Rapture) Very deep rich pink of even tone. Heavy light red lines in throat. Six to seven 
6-inch florets open in perfect placement on a 5%-foot spike. Extra strong and husky grower and never crooks. Heavy and 
lasting substance. Florets and spike have the general form and size of Picardy. Its large size makes it an exhibition variety 
but it has all the qualities of a perfect commercial and promises to rank with Picardy, Minuet and Nuthall as a cut flower. 
Blooms about two weeks before Nuthall. Good propagator. Vote of Commendation, 1937, Maryland Gladiolus Society Test Gar¬ 
den. Large, $7.50; Medium, $5.00; Small, $3.00; Bulblets, 50c each; 10 Bulblets for $4.00. 
Chrysalis (Albatross x Othello) A pale blue of clear sparkling color, with a small true blue throat mark. Strong 
grower, five feet tall, with up to nine 4^-inch florets open in good double row placement. An unusually fine exhibition 
variety in this color. Average propagator. Healthy grower. Chrysalis is invariably spotted by visitors in the field, for its 
clear color and striking spike. Large, $6.00; Medium, $4.00; Small, $2.50; Bulblets, 50c each; 10 Bulblets for $4.00. 
Coralie (Mrs. Sisson) x (Coryphee x Nuthall- Glistening pure pink of rich tone. Throat shades a bit lighter with a thin 
pink thread line. Somewhat ruffled, wide open, round 6-inch florets. Five to six open on a tall willowey, but always 
straight spike. An unusually beautiful variety, a hoped-for combination of the good points of its famous parents. Good prop¬ 
agator. Large, $3.00; Medium, $2.00; Small, $1.25; Bulblets, 25c each; 10 Bulblets for $2.00; 100 Bulblets for $15.00.
