buff throat; 6 to 7 very large and beauti¬

FLARE (E. H. Lins)

on account of its consistently good per¬ 
formance. Opens 5 to 6 very attractively 
formed 5 to 5^/4 inch florets on tall 
straight spike. Plants 4 to 41^ feet; 
vigorous grower. A seedling of the va¬ 
riety Dr. F. E. Bennett and with us, a

open at one time on 5-foot spike, al¬ 
ways straight and florets perfectly 
placed. Unusually strong and husky 
grower of heavy and lasting substance. 
Large size makes it an exhibition va¬ 
riety but it has all the qualities of a 
commercial. This variety received a 
Vote of Commendation from the Mary¬ 
land Gladiolus Society Test Garden for 
1937. Good propagator.

Clear silky purple blending to a small 
creamy throat. Opens eight 3V2 to 4 inch 
florets at one time on a very tall stiff

GOLDEN GODDESS (Salbach 
1934) 
Deep rich golden yellow color, ten to 
twelve of the twenty-one to twenty- 
three florets open at once. This one is 
definitely superior in performance to 
any yellow we have grown and at its 
present low price should be in every col¬ 
lection of fine gladiolus.

Plant Patent No. 77) and bulbs are sold 
only upon the express condition that they

a new standard with its gigantic size 
at the same time having a most attrac¬ 
tive form and a beautiful soft pink color. 
Florets are said to consistently average 
an inch larger than the famous Aus¬ 
tralian giants. Mr. Salbach states that 
Grand Opera is even better than Picardy 
for breeding and all ambitious hybrid¬ 
izers should have it. Stock very limited.
