Shalimar (Cuthbertson x Mam. White) A huge pure white with a rich green yellow blotch which fades after flower 
opens. Grows larger with us than Star of Bethlehem but like that variety its stem is a bit too limber to support the flower 
head when eight immense florets are open. Round wide open florets, somewhat ruffled. Thick heavy substance. Blooms well 
from medium and smaller sizes. Large, $3.00; Medium, $2.00; Small, $1.25; Bulblets, 25c each; 10 for $2.00; 100 for $15.00. 
Joli (Triumph x Mibloom) Sweetly and persistently fragrant. Fragrance is rose-like and noticeable within a few feet of 
the plant, constantly present during the entire blooming season of this variety. Color is light pink with a vivid orange-scarlet 
blotch. Five 4%-inch florets open on a tall slender stem. Good propagator, but stock is limited. This variety seemed more 
fragrant than ever this past season, the fourth season that we have had it in bloom. Pollen is fertile but does not bear seed 
well. 1-inch Bulbs, $3.00; Small, $2.00; Bulblets, 35c each; 10 for $3.00. 
Vanguard (Cadence x Triumph) Ruffled light orange salmon, at times somewhat laciniated. A very early bloomer of 
unusual keeping qualities, remaining in fresh cut condition for three days. Five to six 4-inch florets open on slender and 
graceful but strong and perfectly straight spike. Altogether a very promising early cut flower blooming about ten days after 
Mibloom. Rapid propagator. Large, $1.00; 10 for $7.50. Medium, 60c; 10 for $4.00. Small, 30c; 10 for $2.00. Bulblets, 10 for 
50c; 100 for $3.00. 
Nola (Marmora x Apricot Glow) An unusually deep pink with no trace of rose, white mid-ribs on lower petals. Five 
inch florets with six to seven open on a tall, husky, straight spike. Another variety that has all the requisites of a perfect 
cut flower. Very rapid propagator. Large, 50c; 10 for $3.50. Medium, 30c; 10 for $2.50. Small, 20c; 10 for $2.00. Bulblets, 
10 for 25c; 100 for $1.50. 
Mauve Royale (Moorish King x Rapture) An unheard-of color in glads, in fact in any flower, a very rich royal mauve 
self with a small white throat. The color is many shades deeper than any mauve that I know and hard to visualize without 
seeing. Very large florets between 5 and 6 inches with five or six open on a medium tall stem, which has a bad habit of 
crooking especially from larger bulbs. Bulblets bloom freely on good sized and straight spikes. Because of this crooking 
habit I’ve reduced the price considerably this year. This crooking hasn’t been a draw-back in selling cut spikes to florists as 
they eagerly take every spike I have because of the unusual and attractive color. This has proven a reliable parent in 
breeding for lavenders and mauves, the striking point in these seedlings being the huge size inherited from Mauve Royale 
Large, $2.00; Medium, $1.00; Small, 50c. Bulblets, 10 for $1.00; 100 for $5.00. 
Joyance (Cadence x Mam. White) Light pink with a slight lavender dusting in throat. Somewhat laciniated and winged 
florets, close to 5 inches across with five or six open on tall straight stem. Beautiful color and attractive form make an 
unusually appealing variety. Joyance is larger and makes a heavier and fuller spike than any other orchid type glad I 
know. Rapid propagator. Large, $1.00; 10 for $7.50. Medium, 50c; 10 for $3.00. Small, 30c; 10 for $2.00. Bulblets, 10 for 25c; 
100 for $1.50. 
Seedling No. 34-2F (Mibloom x Triumph) Light bright red self of Triumph type but with more slender stem. Tall with 
four 4 y 2 to 5 inch florets open. This past season this was much more fragrant than heretofore. One of the parents of Summer 
Breeze and Honeysuckle. 1-inch Bulbs, $1.00; Small, 50c; Bulblets, 15c; 10 for $1.00. 
Cadence (1936) (Mary Frey x The Orchid) Medium pink with small amber throat mark. Petals twisted, fluted and 
laciniated, giving a very orchid-like appearance. Five open on a 48-inch spike, 4 to 4 y 2 inch florets. Cadence has been a good 
parent in producing other laciniated seedlings. Large, 25c; 10 for $2.00. Medium, 15c; 10 for $1.00. Small, 10c; 10 for 60c. 
Bulblets, 10 for 25c; 100 for $1.50. 
As a testimonial to the quality of the seedlings I have selected for introduction, I want to point to the winning of the 
Bulletin Cup of The Empire State Gladiolus Society in 1936 when I received five out of the eight awards given in the seedling 
division with 19 exhibitors competing. 
This past Summer at Rochester through everything else on exhibition was completely eclipsed by Mr. Chamberlain’s 
grand smoky seedling, ‘Caroline Werner Gannett,’ I received a total of nine Honorable Mentions in the seedling classes (my 
own count, not yet confirmed by an official report).
