THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 
YELLOW 
AMBERGLOW 77 ‘—ft Dec. Soft, but 
brilliant, clear unmarked amber yellow. 
Its color value at once removes it from the 
commonplace and its fine cut flower habits 
join to give it high ranking. 7-8 open, 16- 
18 buds. Early. Ea. LI.50 Ml.00 S.50 
Bits (100,3.00) 
BETSY BOB-UP 110 *~Ut Exh. A Betty 
Nuthall sport. Identical habits, so would 
be bound to “go places” even if of inferior 
color. But this break produced a rugged 
gladiolus in a much-needed color-smooth, 
primrose yellow, beautifully overlaid with 
a delicate peach pink, which diminishes 
as the florets open up the spike. Since 
Betty Nuthall ranks fourth in the Ameri¬ 
can Gladiolus Society Symposium, you 
may readily understand what will become 
of a sport with more attractive color 
(witness Marmora, sport of Emile Aubrun) 
Though only introduced in 1936, prices 
are already reasonable, due to Nuthall 
propagation habits. 
With deliberation we abandon Golden 
Dream from our list, though the latter 
still tops the A.G.S. and C.G.S. symposi¬ 
ums for yellow, now that we are able to 
offer Betsy Bob-Up at popular prices.

“Everything I had from you did well. Betsy Bob Up 
came up to expectations. I circulated your Guide Book, 
as I consider it so valuable for Fans and I had a job to 
get it back. It went on and on and only just now have I 
managed to recapture it.” 9-1-37. M.L. P., Bassendean,

GOLDEN GODDESS 95 —ttU Exh. The 
first patented gladiolus (U. S. Plant Patent 
No. 77). Clear, deep monotone yellow.

than that of the other yellows listed.

flowerhead longer, stem shorter. We have 
grown this variety 3 years and are satis¬
