Finest Gladiolus 
SEQUOIA BLUE (Salbach). The biggest light blue—named 
for the giant California Redwoods. Light bluish lavender 
with violet tongue. Unusually valuable for breeders, for 
we have produced some striking varieties, both in the light 
and medium shades, all of giant dimensions, by using Se¬ 
quoia Blue. Large 25c, 3 for 60c, 6 for $1.10, 12 for $2.00; 
Medium, 15c each, 3 for 35c, 6 for 55c, 12 for $1.00. 
Bulblets - 75 for 50c. 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE (Pruitt-Salbach 1937). A beautiful 
cream colored seedling bred from Picardy. Light cream, 
with throat of deeper cream. Form of flower and size com¬ 
parable to Picardy. Being the only first class large cream 
colored variety, its future is guaranteed. Extra large, 
$5.00; Large, $3.75; Medium, $2.50; Small, $1.00. Bulb- 
lets - 50c each, 10 for $4.00. 
SMILING MAESTRO. Apparently a seedling from W. H. 
Phipps, somewhat deeper in color, being salmon rose. Many 
huge florets open at once, blooms and spikes both much 
larger than those of W. H. Phipps. Unquestionably a 
coming gladiolus.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM. A fine, outstanding white that is 
a vigorous grower everywhere, generally considered as 
better than Mammoth White, Jonkheer von Tets, Maid of 
Orleans, and all other older whites. This splendid gladiolus 
has been in such strong demand that it has been almost 
impossible to purchase stock the last two seasons. Avail¬ 
able, subject to stock at:
