THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 
SALMON PINK 
EARLY DAra 78 ‘—ft Dec. Rich geran- 
ium shading to coral throat. Small red 
lines in throat. Exceptionally large for so 
early blooms. Good cut flower habits 
except fault of tilting tip of spike forward 
somewhat. This variety is our answer for 
abandoning from our list that consistent 
prizewinner. Catherine Coleman. Wash.,

MILDRED LOUISE 87 tH Exh. Clear, 
light strawberry salmon, blending into 
yellow in throat. Type of spike about 
same as Picardy but florets never lose 
their glistening brilliance of color. Seed¬

MR. W. H. PHIPPS 110_ ttti Exh. 
Warm flesh pink, overlaid light rose sal¬ 
mon. Lower petals faintly striped and 
speckled ruby. 5 ft. or longer spikes, 
10-20 open at once. Not uniform in its 
production of immense flowerheads but 
plenty to be worth while. Best results 
from L bulbs. After heading the A.G.S. 
symposium for 4 years, other varie¬ 
ties have now slipped ahead. Has a past 
history of show championships much on 
order of that now going to Picardy. It 
still takes a wonderful show specimen to 
beat Mr. Phipps. Champ, again, N.E.G.S

MRS. E. J. HEATON 78 *—fft Dec. 
Deep glowing, strawberry pink, blended 
with some cream in throat. Has great 
warmth of color, making it a valuable 
Dec. sort. Strong grower with good cut

Good bloomer from S bulbs. Prolific 
propagator. Century of Progress Gold

PICARDY 90 **—nt Exh. Long, straight 
spikes of clear light salmon, not far re¬ 
moved from apricot buff. Number one 
in A.G.S. and C.G.S. symposiums. 1st 
in color class Symposiums. Champ 
spike so commonly now that sensational 
spikes are required to displace it. Blooms 
amazingly from S bulbs. Easy propaga¬ 
tion makes the prices seem ridiculous. If 
ever a bulb was worth many times the 
price asked, this is the time, and the kind. 
See illustration. Two Ists for Dr. Pease, 
Ill. Five Ists at Ohio (one of them ours). 
Two Ists A.G.S. Champion bloom of the

Mrs. Sherwin’s winning 3 spike and 10 
spike vases at C.G.S., ’37 were sensational, 
notwithstanding it was a “carrying coals 
to Newcastle’’ proposition. Space pro¬ 
hibits further mention of Ists. The 
following were all Grand Champion of the

“Did I tell you that last year (1936) at the Metro. I 
received first award for most outstanding spike and also 
first for spike with longest flowerhead and both spikes 
were produced from the same bulb, one of your Picardy 
bulbs.” 12-7- 37. H. F. deG., Southampton, N. Y. 
QUEEN HELEN H 98 *—ft Dec. Color 
deep shrimp to apricot orange, prominent 
yellow blotch. New. A Salbach introduc¬ 
tion likely to go the way of fame of Betty 
Nuthall (seedling parent). Good place¬ 
ment, wide open florets of good size, fine 
substance and excellent cut flower habits. 
Does not burn in hot and dry climates. 6 
open, 18 total buds. A good propagator, 
so we assure you this is the year to buv it.
