Former Seedling Introductions 
‘Chrysalis’ (1937) (Albatross x Othello) A pale blue of clear sparkling color, with a small true blue throat mark. 
Strong grower, five feet tall, with up to nine 4}4 inch florets open in good double row placement. An unusually fine exhibi¬ 
tion variety in this color. Average propagator. Healthy grower. Chrysalis is invariably spotted by visitors in the field, for its 
clear color and striking spike. Large, $3.00; Medium, $2.00; Small, $1.50; Bulblets, 10 for $2.00. 
‘Coralie’ (1937) Mrs. Sisson x Coryphee x Nuthall) Glistening pure pink of rich tone. Throat shades a bit lighter with 
a thin pink thread line. Somewhat ruffled, wide open, round 6 inch florets. Five to six open on a tall willowy, but always 
straight spike. An unusually beautiful variety, a hoped for combination of the good points of its famous parents. Good prop¬ 
agator. Won a Vote of Commendation at the Maryland Gladiolus Society Test Garden in 1938. Large, $2.00. Medium, $1.50; 
10 for $12.00. Small, $.75; 10 for $6.00. Bulblets, 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00; 1,000 for $50.00. 
‘Euphony’ (1938) (Picardy x Wasaga) Shades of deepest apricot and salmon, almost tan, with a faint rose blotch. Mid¬ 
ribs touched with a deep lavender suffusion, back of petals flushed a smoky lavender. These colors blend with all the subtlety 
found in some of the newer iris blends, a feature not common in glads. Five 4 inch florets open on a good spike which, how¬ 
ever, sometimes crooks. Florets somewhat ruffled. Very rapid propagator. Large, $1.00. Medium, $.75; 10 for $6.00. Small, 
$.50; 10 for $3.50; 100 for $25.00. Bulblets, 10 for $.75; 100 for $5.00; 1,000 for $30.00. 
‘Fortune’ (1937) (Moorish King x Rapture) Very deep rich pink of even tone. Heavy light red lines in throat. Six 
to seven 6 inch florets open in perfect placement on a 5% foot spike. Extra strong and husky grower and never crooks. Heavy 
and lasting substance. Florets and spike have the general form and size of Picardy. Its large size makes it an exhibition 
variety but it has all the qualities of a perfect commercial, and promises to rank with Picardy, Minuet and Nuthall as a 
cut flower. Blooms about two weeks before Nuthall. Good propagator. Vote of Commendation, 1937, Maryland Gladiolus So¬ 
ciety Test Garden. Large, $3.50. Medium, $2.00; 10 for $15.00. Small, $1.00; 10 for $7.50. Bulblets, 10 for $2.50; ICO for $20.00; 
1,000 for $75.00. 
‘Jacinth’ (1938) (Harnesses x Picardy) A warm orange blend with lavender suffusion which produces a captivating 
play of color. Six to seven wide open 4 y 2 inch florets open on a fine straight spike. Makes a very reliable cut flower in 
this color class. Rapid propagator and healthy grower. Substance is heavy and lasting. Jacinth has given us some very fine 
seedlings in vivid orange and orange-yellow tones. Won a First in the Open Orange class at the Empire State Gladiolus Show 
at Syracuse this Summer, even though the spikes shown were from small bulbs and far from representative of this variety. 
Large, $2.00. Medium, $1.50; 10 for $10.00. Small, $1.00; 10 for $7.50. Bulblets, 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10,00. 
‘Joyance’ (1937) (Cadence x Mammoth White) Light pink with a slight lavender dusting in throat. Somewhat iaciniated 
and winged florets, close to five inches across with five or six open on tall straight stem. Beautiful color and attractive form 
make an unusually appealing variety. Joyance is larger and makes a heavier and fuller spike than any other orchid type glad 
I know. Rapid propagator. Large, $.50; Medium, $.30; Small, $.15; Bulblets, 10 for $.15. 
‘Man o’ War' (1938) (A seedling of Com. Koehl and Mrs. Errey) A glad with a brighter and lighter color than Com. 
Koehl. Spike very tall and very straight and up to seven 5 inch florets open in very good arrangement, making an unusu¬ 
ally well balanced spike. This was shown in the seedling class in 1936 at Ithaca, where it received an Honorable Mention, as 
well as much favorable comment from growers. A very strong and healthy grower, giving many bulblets which germinate eas¬ 
ily and make unusually large growth. I believe this will prove a valuable cut flower as well as an exhibition variety. Large, 
$3.50; Bulblets, 10 for $3.50. 
‘Mauve Royale’ (1937) (Moorish King x Rapture) An unusual color in glads, in fact, in any flower. A very rich 
royal mauve self with a small white throat. The color is many shades deeper than any mauve that I know and hard to visu¬ 
alize without seeing. Very large florets between 5 and 6 inches with five or six open on a medium tall stem, which as a bad 
habit of crooking, especiaffy from larger bulbs. Bulblets bloom freely on good sized and straight spikes. In breeding for laven¬ 
ders and mauves this has proven a reliable parent, the striking point in these seedlings being the huge size inherited from 
Mauve Royale. Large, $.30; 10 for $2.50. Medium, $.20; 10 for $1.25. Small, $.10; 10 for $.75. Bulblets, 10 for $.25; 100 for $1.50. 
‘IMola’ (1937) (Marmora x Apricot Glow) An unusually deep pink with no trace of rose, white midribs on lower petals. 
Five inch florets with six to seven open on a tall, husky, straight spike. Another variety that has all the requisites of a 
perfect cut flower. Very rapid progagator. I noted a pleasing color variation in this variety this Summer, for many spikes 
showed a soft gray throat blotch, which made a most unusually and attractive color combination. Large, $.35; 10 for $2.50; 
100 for $20.00. Medium, $.20; 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00. Small, $.10; 10 for $.75; 100 for $5.00. Bulblets, 10 for $.15; 100 
for $1.00; 1,000 for $7.50. 
‘Seven Seas’ (1938) (335-101) An unusually attractive tone in the medium blue shades with a very subdued throat make 
of same shade on slight white feather. A slightly deeper flecking as well as a suggestion of blue green blend in its ground 
color gives the appealing effect of sea green depths. Spike is tall and straight with up to seven 5 inch florets open in very 
fine double row arrangement. Its color and spike habits make Seven Seas the best cut flower blue I know r . Another very val¬ 
uable feature of Seven Seas is its ability to stand up perfectly under heat intense enough to cause every other blue that I 
know to wilt badly. Rapid propagator and very healthy grower. Large, $3.50; Medium, $2.50; Small, $1.50; Bulblets, 10 for $3. 
‘Shalimar’ (1937) (Cuthbertson x Mammoth White) A huge pure white with a rich green yellow blotch which fades 
after flower opens. Grows larger with us than Star of Bethlehem, but like that variety its stem is a bit too limber to sup¬ 
port the flower head when eight immense florets are open. Round wide open florets, somewhat ruffled. Thick heavy sub¬ 
stance. Blooms well from medium and smaller sizes. Large, $1.50. Medium, $1.00; 10 for $5.00. Small, $.50: 10 for $3.50; 
100 for $25.00. Bulblets, 10 for $1.00; 100 for $7.50; 1,000 for $40.00. 
‘Vanguard’ (1937) (Cadence x Triumph) Ruffled light orange salmon, at times somewhat Iaciniated. A very early 
bloomer of unusual keeping qualities, remaining in fresh cut condition for three days. Five to six 4 inch florets open on 
slender and graceful but strong and perfectly straight spikes. Altogether a very promising early cut flower blooming about 
ten days after Mibloom. Rapid propagator. Large, $.35; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $20.00. Medium, $.20; 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00. 
Small, $.10; 10 for $.75; 100 for$ 5.00. Bulblets, 10 for $.15; 100 for $1.00; 1,000 for $7.50.
