ST. ALBANS (Swenson) —A typical Australian exhibition variety from the originator of Gert¬ 
rude Swenson. The color is ivory white heavily overlaid with rose pink. It has a slight 
blotch of brilliant wine red which extends up the center of the petals. Will open about 
ten perfectly placed flowers at once. A very strong grower. L 30c, M 20c, S 2-20c, 
Bits. 10-20c. 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (Pfitzr) —A wonderful new midseason white with a bit of cream on 
the lower petals. The blooms are immense and will open from eight to ten at once. I 
consider this variety one of the finest whites we grow and it is surely deserving of all 
the honors it has won in Australia, New Zealand, U. S., England and Holland. L 2-1 5c, 
M 2-1 Oc, S 4-1 Oc, Bits. 20-1 Oc. 
STORM TRIUMPHANT (Swenson) —Rich reddish mahogany, bright line in each petal and a 
crimson blotch. Good sized blooms; eight open; surely a novel color. L 15c, M 10c, 
S 2-1 Oc, Bits. 20-1 5c. 
SUNNYSIDE (Phillips) —A champion many times in Australia, showing twelve large well 
formed flowers on a tall spike. The outer edge of the flowers is cerise pink, the center 
being pure white. A great variety but a bit hard to propagate. L 30c, M 20c, S 2-20c, 
Bits. 5-1 5c. 
SURFSIDE (Winsor) —See Flying Cloud Farms’ Introductions. 
TAGORE (Pfitzer) —A rich cerise magenta with a darker feather. Makes a nice spike and 
one of Pfitzer’s best recent introductions. L $1.50, M $1.00, S 50c, Bits. 15c each. 
TAIAROA (Miller, New Zealand) —This is a large salmon pink, a bit flecked with slate, and 
a purple blotch in the throat. It will open about eight good blooms on a nice spike. It 
is a good increaser and it seems to be Miller’s best introduction to date. A lovely color 
combination which we find in so many of Miller’s varieties. L 2-1 5c, M 2-1 Oc, S 4-1 Oc, 
Bits. 25-1 Oc. 
TAINUI (pulyan) —A tall strong growing variety that will open about ten well placed blooms 
at once. The ground color is yellow overlaid with orange scarlet and has a conspicuous 
blotch of red. This variety was very fine the past season and was a winner at Boston. 
L 25c, M 15c, S 2-1 5c, Bits. 5-1 5c. 
TAKINA (Burns) —This variety has the largest florets of any variety we have seen. It will 
open about seven florets up to eight inches in size; in fact, has been shown in New 
Zealand with nine open. The placement is good, it is a strong grower, and propagates 
easily. The color, a bit hard to describe, is Ridgway’s rosaline purple, almost a pure 
violet red, lightly flecked a darker shade in some climates. It is truly a wonderful variety 
and now so much reduced in price that you all should try it. Received an Award of 
Merit in the Mammoth Class at the Ballarat Test Carden and is considered, along with 
Miss New Zealand, to have put New Zealand on the “gladiolus map’’. L 20c, M 2-20c, 
S 3-20c, Bits. 20-1 5c. 
TAMAKI (Whiteley) —A slatey purple going darker at the edges; few brighter lines in throat 
and flower fades to rose shades in the center. A most striking novelty. L 10c, M 2-1 Oc, 
S 3-1 Oc, Bits. 30-1 Oc. 
TAMAROA (Julyan) —Brownish orange, flecked deeper, with a pleasing throat. Good strong 
grower and a nice novelty for anyone desiring the unusual colors. L 50c, M 30c, S 20c, 
Bits. 4-20c. 
TANGERINE (Morrison, Australia) —An exquisite variety producing tall graceful spikes of 
large glowing orange flowers. A decided improvement on La Paloma. This variety is 
outstanding as a decorative and should be a valuable commercial because of its strong 
growth. It bloomed freely from bulblets in ordinary field culture from August 1st on. 
Now the price will permit the commercial growers to give it a trial. L 2-12c, M 3-1 Oc, 
S 10-15c, Bits. 50-10c. 
Winnipeg, Canada“Snowden and Edith Robson, bought from you last year, did very 
well. Both produced beautiful blooms and good bulbs. The small touch of pink in the 
throat is just sufficient to put real life into the bloom.’’ 
From Ontario, Canada a customer writes:—“Permit me to thank you for your 1938 Gladi¬ 
olus catalogue which you so kindly sent me. This publication is one of the best I have 
received and it most certainly lists the largest number of foreign varieties. From the 
standpoint of variety, descriptions, and information about the glads, from nearly every 
conceivable angle, it is unexcelled.” 
“Last year’s bulbs turned out fine; were admired by all my friends and neighbors. I thank 
you for all the wonderful extras and overcount you put in.”—M. C. K., Montana.
