“ Watched FIREFLY bud, open and /lower into something to 
me was heavenly in beauty.” — Roland H. Mays, Texas. 
“TOKEN was a real surprise, much better than I expected 
even after your fine description of it. It is so early, large florets and 
such a clear glistening orange-salmon with golden throat. 
“The color plate of BEACON on your 1938 catalog does not 
give this outstanding glad justice. The plate gives some idea as to 
color but this flower must be seen ‘in the raw ’ to be really appreciated. 
This variety stood out like a bright light making the other flowers 
seem invisible (which of course is more than impossible with 
gladiolus .)” — Miles C. Labrum, Utah.

had splendid results. By care I 
have never had any trouble with thrip and have pro¬
