AN OVERSIZED DOZEN 
Worthy of your Special Attention 
■ 
Checking over the hundreds of new varieties that we have 
tried, we finally sift down to a very few varieties which we 
consider “must haves.” These are, in our opinion, the cream 
of the crop, and we feel that no gladiolus fan should be with¬ 
out these varieties, all of which stand out even when com¬ 
pared to champions. 
We sincerely commend the following: 
YELLOW 
Golden Goddess — Unquestionably the finest yellow in com¬ 
merce. Protected by the first plant patent issued to any 
gladiolus. Now at popular prices. 
ORANGE 
La Fiesta — Rich, brilliant non-fading orange. As distinct 
a variety as any grown. 
Rising Sun — Brilliant scarlet orange. An improved Mrs. 
S. A. Errey. 
SMOKY 
Maya Maid — Autumn leaf brown. None other like it. 
APRICOT 
Opal Queen — Opalescent apricot yellow. 
Paradise — Fine apricot. Long spike. 
PINK 
Cascade — Fine rose color with blotch. 
Festival Queen — Huge salmon pink. 
Smiling Maestro — Of Phipps habit, but bigger, and sal¬ 
mon in color. 
WHITE 
Star of Bethlehem — Considered to be the very finest. 
RED 
Beacon — Scarlet red with cream-yellow throat. Very tall. 
Rewii Fallu — A “buster” of deep red. 
Vagabond Prince — Rich smoky red. 
OTHERWISE 
Takina — A New Zealand giant that is mauve to American 
Beauty.
