A GLADIOLUS FANCIER'S CATALOG 
19 
RECADO (Palmer) (Exhibition) 
Smoky rose red on grey ground flecked slate and scar¬ 
let at the edges. Opens ten-eleven florets. (L. $1.50) (M. 
$1.00) (S. 60c; 5—$2.40) (Blbts. 2—25c; 10—$2.00) 
tional plain-petaled type of floret, retaining its rich scarlet 
red coloring and hint of a throat marking, illustrating the 
fact that there are mutations of form as well as of color. 
Every fancier should try out this unusual novelty. (L. $2.00) 
(M. $1.20) (S. 80c; 10—$6.40) (Blbts. 2—20c; 10—75c; 100— 
$5.00) 
RECOVERY (Corrington) (Exhibition) 
A subdued salmon-red that is an unusually consistent 
producer of exhibition spikes. Our estimate of this vari¬ 
ety has been revised upward as we have seen more of it. 
Its color was unusually good this season. As a late fall 
cut-flower—when scarlets are in good demand—Recovery 
is hard to beat.

$1.00) (M. 60c) (S. 30c) (Blbts. 2—20c) 
RED LORY (Errey) (Exhibition) 
Giant rose-red with purple throat. Often sensational on 
the show table, but actually a bit garish. (L. 7c; 10—50c)

RED PIRATE (Gelser) (Medium Decorative) 
Rose-red blending to a small throat mark of almost 
black. This glad possesses the most lustrous silken sheen 
of any rose-red variety. Well grown it is very beautiful.

REWI F AT. T.TT (Fallu) (Exhibition) 
Deep red with huge bell-like florets so heavy that they 
often cause the upper half of the spike to break off in the 
field. An excellent show variety, though I have never seen 
it outclass Commander Koehl at the latter's best. (L. 50c) 
(M. 25c) (S. 15c) (Blbts. 5—25c; 100—$4.00) 
RIMA (Mitsch) (Large Decorative) 
We thought that in order to save space we'd omit all 
testimonials from our catalog this season though our files 
are full of them, but we'll make one exception to include 
a typical one regarding Rima: 
"Today I have the most wonderful glad I have ever 
seen: Rima. The florets are seven inches wide; its orchid 
color is the most beautiful of all colors in flowers. 
"I am 77 years old but I still admire as much as ever a 
beautiful flower. Well do I remember the thrill I experi¬ 
enced when I had my first Minuet, Betty Nuthall, Com¬ 
mander Koehl, Dream O'Beauty, Mary Elizabeth, Solveig 
and Picardy, but in my opinion Rima surpasses them all." 
—J. W. C., Little Falls, Minn. 
The charm of this variety, with its exquisite pale orchid 
tone and frosty sheen grows upon one. In massed effects 
its beauty is never to be forgotten. Pictured on page 16.

RESOLUTION (Baerman) (Exhibition) 
One of the most unusual glads ever introduced (see 
picture on page 25). The florets which just fail of being 
six inches in diameter are of very heavy substance and 
are not only ruffled but laciniated—a feature hitherto found 
only in very small varieties. For some reason Resolution 
has a marked tendency to sport back to a more conven- 
ROSALIE (Zimmer) (Medium Decorative) 
The lavender class which has seen comparatively few 
significant introductions in recent years is strengthened by 
the addition of this sprightly Zimmer origination. A seed¬ 
ling of Queen of Bremen, it is considerably larger and 
more intense in coloring and seems less inclined to crook. 
(L. $1.00) (M. 75c) (S. 50c; 10—$4.00; 25—$8.00) (Blbts. 
3—25c; 100—$5.00)
