GOLDEN CHIMES (Ellis) (Large Decorative) 
A compact, slightly ruffled light yellow of good size and 
clear color. (L. 10c) (M. 7c) (S. 2—10c) (Blbts. 25—15c) 
GOLDEN DREAM (Groff) (Medium Decorative) 
Tall medium yellow with medium-sized florets beauti¬ 
fully recurved and rose-like in the bud. The first good 
yellow gladiolus developed by modern hybridizers. (L. 7c; 
10—50c) (M. 3—10c; 10—25c) (S. 10—15c) (Blbts. Pkg. 10c) 
GOLDEN GODDESS (Salbach) (Large Decorative) 
Medium yellow opening up to eleven florets at one time. 
In good demand. Patented. (L. 20c; 3—45c; 6—80c; 12— 
$1.50; 25—$2.85; 100—$9.00) 
GOLDEN POPPY (Prestgard) (Medium Decorative) 
A gladiolus of the same shining gold color as the Cali¬ 
fornia poppy—and somewhat similar in roundness of form. 
A tall grower with a wiry stem. The throat is entirely free 
from any marking. This is the richest, deepest-toned yellow 
gladiolus. A florest's container full of tall spikes of this 
lustrous deep yellow sort is something hard to beat. In 
our experience florists invariably select it in preference to 
any other yellow glad. Strongly recommended.

GREEN LIGHT (Pfitzer) (Medium Decorative) 
Greenish white beautifully ruffled. An interesting novelty. 
(L. 50c) (M. 30c) (S. 20c) (Blbts. 10—50c) 
GRETEL (Baerman) (Small Decorative) 
Heavily frilled palest salmon with a large deep golden 
throat. A wonderfully beautiful small decorative that 
should become a great favorite. Larger than Angelica, of 
which it is a full sister. A tall grower and a rapid propa¬ 
gator. (Priced on page 1) 
GUNVOR (Prestgard) (Large Decorative) 
Rich cream with slightly deeper throat, very heavily 
frilled. Opens about five florets nearly six inches across at 
one time. (L. 15c) (M. 10c) (S. 2—10c) (Blbts. 10—15c) 
HANSEL (Baerman) (Small Decorative) 
Crystalline clear light golden yellow about as large as 
Brightside but much more heavily frilled. As intensely 
fluted as New Era. Outstanding among the yellow decor- 
atives. (Priced on page 1) 
HECTOR 
Attractively ruffled light scarlet. Very easy grower. (L. 
10c; 5—40c) (M. 2—15c; 5—25c) (Blbts. 15—10c; 50—35c) 
HERITAGE (Ristow) (Exhibition) 
Pure pink of unusually fresh tone with snow-white throat 
and mid-ribs. We displayed this variety at the Century 
of Progress, 1934, with fourteen fresh florets open at one 
time, florets starting at a diameter of 63/4 inches and main¬ 
taining their size well up the spike. Growers who saw it 
freely admitted that it was THE LARGEST GLADIOLUS 
EVER EXHIBITED IN AMERICA. At the International Hor¬ 
ticultural Exposition in Chicago, September, 1936, Heritage 
again won the championship. If bloomed during extremely 
torrid weather this glad may disappoint. Better try plant¬ 
ing it about June 1 (for September blooming). Also, it 
often does better from medium-sized bulbs than from 
large. Pictured 
on page 25.

HONOR (Kinyon) (Large Decorative) 
Lavender near-self of more opaque texture than Minuet 
and just a trifle deeper color. Cne of the best of the newer 
lavenders. (L. 20c) (M. 10c) (S. 2—10c) (Blbts. 10—20c) 
INCENSE (Miller) (Small Decorative) 
The first definitely fragrant gladiolus. Soft scarlet blend¬ 
ing to a yellow throat. A patented variety of real import¬ 
ance. (2 L—$1.00. No other sizes sold.) 
IOSCO (Kinyon) (Exhibition) 
Ivory-buff of huge size and great vigor. (L. $1.00) (M. 75c) 
(S. 60c) (Blbts. 10—50c) 
IRAK (Mitsch) (Exhibition) 
This sport of Bagdad is identical with that great variety 
in height and vigor but the color is a clear silvery grey 
with an unusually smooth sheen. You'll be astonished 
when Irak first blooms in your garden to see a flower 
of this unique yet beautiful color. Cne of the most un¬ 
usual glads in years and a real color break. Pictured on 
page 13.
