florets open at once. A real beauty.

PFITZER’S MASTERPIECE. An improved Coryphee. Tall¬ 
er, more open (but perhaps with florets not quite so wide 
open) than Coryphee — but without the latter’s habit of 
crooked stems. Color light wax pink with white throat. 
Very attractive, as a good grower in a gladiolus of this 
color has long been desired.

Bulblets - 10 for $1.00. 
PFITZER’S TRIUMPH. One of the largest and finest glads 
ever introduced. Tenth most popular of all gladiolus in 
A. G. S. symposium and winner of countless prizes. The 
enormous amaryllis-like flowers are bright scarlet with a 
cherry blotch in the throat.

PICARDY. A most sensational flower of delicate glowing 
flesh pink. Most popular gladiolus of all A. G. S. sym¬ 
posium, and will unquestionably be the “best seller” again 
this year. First as best bloom in National Show at Cen¬ 
tury of Progress, and winner of many awards as “best 
flower in the show.” Large blooms, many florets open, good 
placement—at popular prices this season, and should be 
in every garden.

PINK PRINCESS (Salbach 1938). Tall, straight, and pure, 
this is a splendid gladiolus. It stands 5 1/2 feet tall, opens 
10 of its 18 florets at once, grows vigorously, and its color, 
deep flesh pink, nearly salmon, is most pleasing. Florets 
of good size and substance of leather—a variety which 
stands through the severest heat spells without the slightest 
wilting or burning. No bulblets for sale. 
Large bulbs, $5.00 Medium, $3.00 Small, $2.00 
BETTY NUTHALL 
Loans Them Out 
A Canadian customer reports: “The gladiolus from your 
bulbs made a great show last year; hundreds of. people came 
to admire them. I gave a flower lover a bunch of Salbach’s 
Pink and Betty Nuthall (perfect blooms) and he considered 
them so good that he loaned them out to his friends for their 
tea socials.”
