A GLADIOLUS FANCIER'S CATALOG 
5 
BLACK OPAL (Errey) (Large Decorative) 
The most sought-after of the new maroons. Color resem¬ 
bles Morocco but spike traits are inherited from Emile 
Aubrun. Very much worth while. (L. $1.50) (M. $1.00) 
(S. 60c) (Blbts. 2—25c) 
BLEEDING HEART (Brown) (Large Decorative) 
Pinky-white with a generous outpouring of crimson at 
the base of the petals making a warm, bright suffusion—■ 
rounded, contrasting. The petals so modestly pulled back, 
needlepointed, give this flower an air of winsome circum¬ 
spection, a curtsying grace.

BLUE ADMIRAL (Christ) (Medium Decorative) 
Medium deep blue of good size. (L. 10c; 10—80c) (M. 7c- 
10—60c) (Blbts. 50—25c) 
BLUE BEAUTY (Pfitzer) (Medium Decorative) 
An unusually vigorous "blue" of medium depth of col¬ 
oring, generally overlain a deeper shade. (L. 30c) (M. 20c) 
(S. 10c) (Blbts. 10—25c) 
BLUE DANUBE (Pfitzer) (Medium Decorative) 
An unusually clean and clear-cut light blue glad with an 
eye-like marking in the throat. (L. 7c; 10—50c) (M. 7c; 
10—30c) 
BOB-WHITE (Zimmer) (Large Decorative) 
Waxy, glossy snow-white of good substance with a small 
rose-red spearhead imbedded deep in the throat. (L. 7c; 
5—30c; 10—60c) (M. 10—30c) (S. 10—20c; 25—40c) (Blbts. 
100—25c) 
BRIGHTSIDE (Prestgard) (Medium Decorative) 
The most beautiful orange gladiolus. Actually a medley 
of colors but orange in general effect, the principal hue 
being a rich canary yellow which blends to bittersweet 
orange at the tips of the petals. The upper throat is rich 
apricot. Brightside has unusually lustrous texture at once 
crystalline and waxy, due in part to the remarkable thick¬ 
ness of its petals. This glad is very beautifully ruffled. In 
1935 Brightside lacked but one vote of being selected the 
most beautiful gladiolus at the New York City Gladiolus 
Show. A generous bouquet of this variety alone is unbe¬ 
lievably rich and glowing. Pictured on page 16.

BYE-LO (Kinyon) (Medium Decorative) 
La France pink blending to a lighter throat with single 
marking on lower midrib. (L. 75c) (M. 60c) (S. 50c) (Blbts. 
10—40c) 
CAMELLIA (Palmer) (Large Decorative) 
Beauty of form in plain-petalled gladioli probably reach¬ 
es its peak in this exquisitely rounded and recurved va¬ 
riety. The delicate blush of pink over cream—as in many 
roses most noticeable on the reverse of the petals—lends 
a commensurate exquisiteness of color. The tiny mark of 
scarlet deep in the throat adds a striking touch of punc¬ 
tuation to a trimly tailored flower. See page 10.

CARILLON (Palmer) (Large Decorative) 
Charming light pink with ivory-cream throat; florets mod¬ 
erately ruffled. (L. $4.00) (M. $3.00) (S. $2.00; 3—$4.80) 
(Blbts. 1—50c; 3—$1.20; 10—$4.00) 
CAVALIER (Baerman) (Medium Decorative) 
The flair for lacy frills and elaborate styling that dis¬ 
tinguished the early Cavaliers is suggested to perfection 
in this richly ruffled cream and apricot flower. The heavy 
substance and bland, waxy texture of the petals produce 
an effect of suave, distinctive charm. (L. $2.00) (M. $1.20) 
(S. 80c) (Blbts. 2—20c; 10—75c; 100—$500) 
CHAMOUNY (Baerman) (Large Decorative) 
As unique a color on the cool side' of pink as Barcarole 
is on the warm side. Indeed these two glads represent 
about the extremes of coolness and warmness in the broad 
range of color known as pink. (True, Barcarole is classed 
as orange, by courtesy, though probably really a trifle 
nearer salmon.) Chamouny, on its part, is a light cerise 
rose of great brilliance and distinctiveness. No glad in our 
fields this season attracted more attention from garden 
visitors than Chamouny. Pictured on page 10.

CHANGEABLE SILK (Baerman) (Large Decorative) 
Fresh-toned light rose-pink of good substance partially 
overlain with a distinct silvery sheen. A sensational break 
in color. Florets are well rounded with a touch of ruffling. 
Spike is of good length. Infinitely daintier and more beauti¬ 
ful than any "smoky" gladiolus. See illustration on page 24. 
(L. $10.00) (M. $7.50) (S. $5.00; 3—$12.00) (Blbts. 1—$1.50; 
5—$5.00; 25—$20.00). 
CHARLES DICKENS (Pfitzer) (Medium Decorative) 
Old favorite red-purple with a long, rangy spike that 
makes it ideal for basket work. (L. 3—15c; 10—50c) (M. 3— 
10c; 10—25c) (Blbts. Pkg 10c) 
COLOSSUS (Mitsch) (Exhibition) 
Salmon pink of huge size with a small red throat blotch. 
Very early for so large a variety. (L. $1.20) (M. 60c) (S. 
30c; 3—75c; 10—$2.40) (Blbts. 1—10c; 5—40c; 25—$1.60; 
100—$6.40)
