Harvest Queen 
We offer to you for the first time Five New Varieties of 
Gladiolus taken from our huge trial gardens at Goshen, 
Indiana. From an entire season's crop we feel proud to 
present these New Seedlings. After judging many thou¬ 
sands of seedlings, growing separately for years it is 
our opinion that the new varieties we offer here are 
destined to become very popular. 
HARVEST QUEEN Ruffled — 1938 
Exquisitely ruffled yellow. Slight red feather on lower petals. 
Large florets, 5 to 7 open at a time. Good placement and excellent 
keeper. Winner of seedling award at Indiana Gladiolus Show 
in 1934. Truly a magnificent new yellow Gladiolus — one you will 
certainly enjoy growing.

IMPERIAL PINK Plain — 1938 
Very tall spike carries 6 to 8 large florets open at a time. Excellent 
florist's variety — good placement of florets and a fine keeper. 
Color of this beautiful new Gladiolus is a delicate pink with a 
lavender tint over the entire floret except in the throat. Throat on 
lower petals is a light canary yellow which blends delightfully 
with the pink. 
A large floor basket of this new variety exhibited at the Michigan 
State Gladiolus Show at Grand Haven, Michigan, August, 1937 
won first prize. Grow this fine variety for exhibition purposes.

Very beautiful old rose Gladiolus, flaked deeper rose on all petals. 
Very large deep mulberry blotch on all three lower petals. Throat 
upper petals are very light. Five to seven large florets open at 
a time. One of the more showy varieties. A treat as a novelty. 
PURPLE WONDER Plain — 1938 
Here's a new variety you surely will want to 
add to your collection. It's a very beautiful 
rhodomine purple — exceptionally tall grower 
producing good healthy spikes with 6 to 8 
blooms open at once on a tall spike. Has very 
good placement and makes a desirable cut 
flower. General appearance of this Gladiolus 
is very good and we know it will be popular 
in its color class.

EARLY CARDINAL Plain — 1938

spike with 6 to 8 giant florets open at a time. 
The individual florets are massive. In fact, one 
of the largest blooms we have ever seen. Color 
is a very pretty cardinal red, lighter in the upper 
petals of the throat. Try this variety. A sure 
winner wherever shown.
