which is bordered cream and sanded, 
brings out a color combination not found 
in any other glad. Plant vigorous, spikes 
heavy but always straight. Four or five 
well placed blooms open at once. The flow¬ 
ers are intensely ruffled and the substance 
heavier than any other Gladiolus in com¬ 
merce.

to cream in throat. Vigorous healthy plant.

ful glads of recent introductions.

widely opened flowers at one time. Al¬ 
ways grows straight. Placement excellent. 
Don’t miss this one. Good exhibition vari¬

gator.

large flowers open.

fine. Salmon orange and brown. Wonder¬ 
ful exhibition glad. 
SOLVEIG (Prestgard). New tall whit© of 
unusually heavy substance. Its beautifully 
ruffled florets of heavy white velvet hold 
up under intensive heat better than any 
other gladiolus we have ever grown. 
Spikes come straight under all weather 
conditions and the placement of the 5 or 6 
wide open flat florets, measuring QV 2 
inches, is as perfect as could be desired. 
Solveig is as near perfection as any glad 
ever introduced and easily surpasses all 
other whites. One of but two seedlings
