TWO NEW FROM MRS. 
KINYON 
THREE PRUITT ORIGINA¬ 
TIONS 
(Kinyon.) Wentworth’s descrlp- 
IVS^V tion: “Exhibition type. Ivory buff. 
Introduced 1937. This is the largest, most 
open flowered yellow variety that I have 
ever seen. I saw it in the fields 6 ft. high 
with eight or more 6-inch flowers in bloom 
at one time. The color can only be classed 
as a light ivory buff, though it will be known 
generally as a good yellow exhibition va¬ 
riety. Gigantic in every way as to height, 
florets, stem, leaves and buds. Bulblet 
growth looks as sturdy as that of No. 6s 
in most varieties.” 
Prepaid price—$1.50 each. Large sizes 
only for sale. 
lAlhito QniPA (Kinyon.) Wentworth’s 
wwllHC ^|JirC description: “A tall grow¬ 
ing variety, the tips of the spikes standing 
4 to 5 feet from the ground. The florets are 
perfectly placed, the 5-inch blossom neither 
crowded nor widely spaced on the stem. The 
petals are chamois-like in substance, being 
thick and resilient. The stems are heavy 
and will hold upright 8 massive blooms open 
at once. The dark green leaves are broad 
and straight. The white of this variety is 
most lovely, being a pure glistening white 
with no markings. The long, tapering spike 
head will carry 18 to 24 buds. The spike 
may be cut in tight bud, for shipping, and 
will open to perfect size and condition. 
Germination and propagation qualities are 
excellent.” 
Prepaid price—$1.50 each. Large sizes 
only for sale. 
THREE MITSCH INTRO¬ 
DUCTIONS 
R!ma (Mitsch.) A new Giant lavender- 
nillici pink, about the color of Salbach’s 
Orchid. A much larger Glad than MINUET, 
opening 5 or 6 immense blooms at one time 
on a spike as tall as PICARDY (of which 
it is a seedling). The beautiful orchid tone 
is set off by a pure cream throat. Strong, 
healthy grower. Blooms fine from medium 
and even small bulbs.

PRUITT PRICES BEI.OW 
Ellen Marie 
(Pruitt.) Salmon-pink, 
carrying from 6 to 9 blooms 
open at one time. Flowers very large, of 
exhibition type. Beautifully ruffled. Almost 
self color. No flecking. Early. Growing 
medium height with stiff, wiry stem. Should 
be planted deep or heavy flowers will pull it 
over in loose soil. 
Of these three Pruitt Seedlings, I’ve seen 
but one—ELLEN MARIE. If I were running 
to catch a train and had to describe ELLEN I 
MARIE in a hurry, I’d say: “It’s a deeper I 
toned PICARDY and a whale of a good Glad.” 
I Anno (Pruitt.) A very rich rose-red. 
Medium late, tall growing, carrying 
from 6 to 8 fine, large, ruffled flowers open 
at one time. A good keeper and a good 
grower. Was first seedling at the Havre de 
Grace show this year. Was a great cut 
flower for us this past summer. Much ad¬ 
mired by all who saw it. 
l/alAvia (Pruitt.) A very unusual soft 
shade of red. Called a pink by 
some who have seen it. This gladiolus has 
given excellent account of Itself everywhere 
grown. Was given an award of merit at the 
1937 N. E. G. S. Trial gardens. It has from 
4 to 6 large flowers open at one time on a 
straight, stiff stem. Never crooks, and 
scarcely ever has a flower out of place. 
Early and a good keeper when cut. Should 
become a great commercial as well as ex¬ 
hibition. 
Here are Mr. Pruitt’s own prices for his 3 
seedlings. Note that all are same price and 
also you may take some of each to make up 
any certain quantity to get the quantity price. 
For example: You could order 6 ELLEN MA¬ 
RIE, 3 LEONA and 2 VALERIA for $10.00, 
all No. 2 size bulbs.
