PICARDY (Palmer) (Exhibition) 
The buxom prima donna of the gladiolus world. A lav¬ 
ishly beautiful rich apricot-salmon overlain with a slight 
silvery mist like the blush on blue grapes. Picardy has 
achieved wider popularity than any other variety in his¬ 
tory and is today the standard by which all other glads 
are judged—consciously or unconsciously. This giant

Beautiful lavender with cream throat. This glad is ideal 
for floral work, possessing a fine wiry stem and opening
