“77/e writer wishes to express his personal thanks for the very nice bulbs shipped 
him by your company on all his orders, also for the generous extra count on each order. 
“It has been very amusing to hear the comments from both men and women when 
the writer has taken several dozen gladiolus into the hotels and other places where he sells 
them; such a chorus of ‘Ohs’ and'Ahs’ and questions as to where the bulbs were bought, 
grown, etc. would be gratifying to you, as well as myself, I am sure if you could hear 
them.” —F. L. Clark, Georgia.

feather. Somewhat ruffled. 
Orange Sovereign 
2 (DeGroot) (Com) (HG) Beautiful 
salmon orange with small crimson 
Oregon Rose *** 
' k ' k'k (Stevens) (Ex) (Com) Early light 
orange. Tall plant with long flower 
head opening 8 or so large blooms at a time. Was very nice this past season. 
(Mitsch-Brandon) (Com) (HG) Bright 
though rather soft rose with an ivory white edge 
around every petal. Large blooms with 6-8 or more open on a strong straight stem. 
This is a beautiful variety that most everyone will like, especially the ladies. Its 
main fault seems to be that often the flower head is not so long as we would like 
but it opens up several at a time and keeps well. A very unusual and beautiful 
variety. 
★★★ (Pruitt) (Com) (HG) Early. Apricot with narrow 
* *** lines of scarlet in throat. Nearly a self color. Somewhat 
ruffled. 6 or more large blooms open on a spike of 16-18 buds. Can be grown very 
nice. Better in cool weather.

(Wilson) (Ex) (Com) (Midseason) New light 
rose that has won many awards on the show table

gator. Seems to be making a good impression for a variety that is so new. 
★ ★★ (Pf) (Ex) (Com) Early. Large dark blue. 6 or more 
well placed blooms open with most of the remaining 
The stems do not crook but are a little inclined to bend. The

most popular dark blue. A good grower

★★★ (Arenius) (Ex) (Com) Rose pink. Tall straight spike 
* **g*g<* with a long flower head opening 10-12 medium large 
blooms. Fine for exhibition and one of the very best rose varieties for commercial

ports on it.

Palmer strain. See page 21. 
Polar Ice 
★ ★★ (Pf) (Com) (HG) Early cream white. Several good

seems to be about the most popular early white.
