COLONIAL GARDENS 
ANGELICA (Fischer) (Small Decorative) 
We consider this Fischer origination far and away the 
most beautiful small flowered gladiolus ever introduced. 
The three-inch blooms poised on fine wiry stems are sim¬ 
ply exquisite. Color is a delicate bright pink at the edges 
blending to snowy white with just a touch of cream deep 
in the throat. An incredibly waxy texture and a most in¬ 
tense frilling at the extreme edge of the petals completes 
a truly ethereal ensemble. There is no more beautiful 
gladiolus in existence than Angelica. For table decorations 
or bridal bouquets it has no equal. Very early and a rapid 
propagator.
