Mauve Magic 
Mauvette *** 1/2 
(Arenius) (Ex) (Com) Distinct and lively 
_ mauve shade. Tall strong grower. 8 open. An 
odd shade but well worth growing both as a lavender florist variety and for the 
home garden. 
(Gray) (Ex) (Com) (Midseason) Beautiful clear 
pinky lavender with clear cream throat which has a 
touch of yellow in it, this color extending on to the mid-ribs. Up to 9 or 10 well 
placed blooms open on a spike of 17-20 buds. Blooms medium size or larger but 
with so many open that it makes a fine spike. I consider this the most beautiful 
lavender I have seen. Stock this year is very small because last year through 
accident my bulblet stock was lost. 
★ ★★V 2 (P p ) (Ex) (Com) (Early midseason) Light 
lavender blue with darker throat markings tipped 
white. 8 open. A fine blue that I consider about as good as any of the medium 
blues and I think will be in the greatest demand as soon as stock is available.

Maytime 
★★ * 1 /2 (Stevens) (Com) White tinted pink with a rose 
************** salmon blotch. Medium size plant and bloom but ex¬ 
tremely early. The first one to bloom either in the greenhouse or garden. For this 
reason it is a valuable commercial variety. It comes into bloom and is cut off before 
other kinds are ready for market. 
(Rides) (Ex) (Com) Clear tall light blue with 7 or 
more good size blooms open. A good propagator, 
strong grower and considered by many to be about the best light blue. In big 
demand. 
MIllllAf ★★★ (Coleman) (Ex) (Com) (80-85) Beautiful light pinkish 
RilllllCt lavender. 5-6 or more well placed blooms open. The 
lavender by which all other lavenders are judged. Everyone is looking for a lavender 
to replace Minuet as this variety does not grow so tall as we would like and some¬ 
times doesn’t propagate extra well, but up to this time nothing has been found 
that is better as an all around commercial lavender. 
(K) (Dec) (Com) (67) Very early 
tall light yellow. 6-8 well placed 
blooms open. A fine florist variety and one of the very best yellows on the market. 
Miss New Zealand ** 1/2 (J , ULYAN) „ ,K v .,( HG > A £ rico ‘ 
* ****** salmon suflused with rose. Peach 
color blotch in the throat. 8 or more immense blooms open. Can be grown very 
large but color is ordinary and with me at least usually crooks. Good for exhibition 
but Picardy and others are much nicer color. 
ftfOPOCCO ★ ★★ (P p ) (Ex) (HG) Glistening deep red with a fiery sheen. 
****** w 0 _g medium large well placed blooms open. Does not 
make so large bulbs as some varieties but a medium size bulb of Morocco is equal 
to a large bulb of other kinds. As good as any in a low priced dark red. 
MAtherMRChr^ ★★★ (Stevens) (Ex) (HG) (95-100) Smoky 
iflUHlCt inflvm lavender overlaid toward the edge with 
salmon pink. An odd but very pretty smoky variety that is always popular. If 
picked in the bud and opened in the house the color will be better than when 
opened outdoors. Tall plant with 8-12 medium size blooms open. One of the best 
smokies.

“/ want to thank you for your generous gift of extra gladiolus sent with my order. 
I don't know whether I was more delighted with the glads I bought or the lovely gift ones. 
I had expected perhaps five or six but when 1 saw all the little extra bags I couldn't be¬ 
lieve my eyes. My neighbor is already your customer so I do not need to recommend you 
to her but whenever I have an opportunity I shall certainly recommend you."
