GENERAL LIST OF GLADIOLUS 
All our bulbs are plump, healthy, and free from injurious insects of all sorts, 
and both large and medium bulbs are of blooming size. Small bulbs usually 
produce blooms late in the season. Bulblets seldom bloom the first year, and 
cannot be guaranteed to grow, as a percentage of these “baby” bulbs always 
fail to germinate. 
Large bulbs are \% inches in diameter or over; medium are 1 inch to 1 % 
inches; and small bulbs are l / 2 to % inch. L. =large, Med. = medium, S. — 
small. When the size is not noted, large size is implied. 
Large bulbs always produce the finest exhibition spikes, and sometimes 
throw several spikes to the bulb. Medium sized bulbs give excellent spikes, 
particularly when planted early in the season. Small sized bulbs seldom give 
much more than a very short spike, but produce large bulbs for the following 
season. Bulblets seldom flower, but grow into bulbs, mostly of small size. 
For special collections see pages 14 and 15. Primulinus type listed sep- 
erately on page 1 5. 
The 3-6-12-25 prices are applicable to one individual variety, not to dif¬ 
ferent ones priced alike — no quantity less than 1 00 at the hundred rate, and 
no smaller quantities than listed. 
These prices cancel all previous quotations. 
LARGE FLOWERING TYPE 
ALLEMANIA. One of the best of recent Pfitzer originations. 
Blooms and spike as huge as Commander Koehl, but much 
more brilliant in color, being very close to pure scarlet..

ALMA NEEDHAM ( Salbach ). A very tall gladiolus of 
pure La France pink. Fine placement and good substance.

of all, being surpassed in this respect only by Salbach’s 
Pink when tested at the Agricultural Branch of the Uni¬ 
versity of California. Priced at:

ARABELLA. A very fine dark, almost-black red. Not quite 
as large as Moorish King, but almost identical in color, 
gives a much longer spike, and is a reasonably fast in- 
creaser. Large, $2.50; Medium, $1.50; Small, 75c, 3 for $2. 
Bulblets, 10 for $1.00. 
BEACON. A new and unusual gladiolus, that is a real im¬ 
provement over Wurtemburgia. Large blooms of bright 
scarlet with creamy white blotch. Its unusual height brings 
it well above the average, so its bright coloring shows to 
striking advantage in the garden. Eight florets open at 
once. We consider this one of the best novelties offered 
in 1935. Large, 65c, 3 for $1.75, 6 for $3.25, 12 for $6.00; 
Medium, 35c, 3 for $1.00, 6 for $1.75, 12 for $3.00; Small, 
25c, 3 for 60c, 12 for $2.00. Bulblets, 10 for 50c, 25 for $1. 
BETTY NUTHALL (Salbach ). This most outstanding variety 
should be in every garden. Color glowing orange pink 
with light yellow throat. Immense florets, perfect place¬ 
ment, six to eight blooms open, and heavy substance. 
Probably the most vigorous grower of all gladiolus, some¬ 
times producing as many as five spikes to a single bulb. 
Late bloomer. Third most popular gladiolus in A. G. S. 
Symposium, winner of countless prizes. 
We are particularly happy that we originated this won¬ 
derful gladiolus, as many growers consider it to be the 
finest gladiolus ever produced. One prominent hybridist 
enthuses as follows: “I never expect to see a better glad 
than Betty Nuthall .... It is the best glad I have ever 
seen .... Hot or dry makes no difference, Betty blooms 
just the same .... Perfect in every detail.... Betty should 
be at the head of the first 50, instead of third. That is 
where it belongs, and the color strikes me just right. It 
is a beautiful glad beyond description.” 
From Australia comes this comment about Betty Nuthall: 
“When it comes right down to the bottom, I still think 
Betty Nuthall is the best glad in the world today, and judg¬ 
ing by comments of visitors, they confirm my opinion. 
Reasons are as follows: (1) No variety is so sure to give 
100% good spikes from 100 conns; (2) A No. 3 or 4 corm 
under quite ordinary treatment, will give a nice decorative 
spike; (3) A full size corm under good conditions will give 
a fine exhibition spike; (4) Splendid stem; (5) Very healthy, 
resisting not only glad diseases, but general garden dis¬ 
eases; (6) Good propagator; (7) Beautiful color; (8) Stands 
heat well. What other glad can match that?”
