WHERO (Burns) —A great new red from the originator of Takina. The color is a very bril¬ 
liant scarlet red with darker flecks at the outer edges of the petals. The blooms are 
large and of good substance. With ten of these big flowers open at once on a big spike, 
this variety will go far in any show. L 20c, M 15c, S 10c, Bits. 10-15c. 
WHITE COLOSSUS (Roozen) —Enormous pure white flowers that are as much as 6" across. 
The petals are creamy in the bud but bleach to a pure white before the flowers open; 
the long petals roll back a bit as do the petals of a gardenia. This glad found much favor 
in our garden this past season. L 50c, M 30c, S 20c, Bits. 10-50c. 
WHITE ORCHID (Purple, U. S.) —The earliest white we grow. A creamy white with strong 
substance and heavily ruffled. A few creamy lavender darts in the throat add character 
to the graceful spikes which are typical of this variety. Florists prefer this to any other 
white for individual floret work as corsages, bridal bouquets and wreaths. L 3-15c, M 
6-15c,' S lO-lOc, Bits. 50-15c. 
WHITE TRIUMPHATOR (Salman, Holland) —Very I arge flowers, pure white, tall straight 
spikes and an extra fine early variety. Most votes for the best gladiolus at the firsf 
Haarlem Show. Also received Trial Carden award and First Class Certificates in Holland. 
L 25c, M 15c, S 2-1 5c, Bits. 5-1 5c. 
WITTLESBACH (Byvoet, Holland) —Fine new dark violet purple. Makes tall spikes and 
seems a step ahead in this color class. Midseason. L 35c, M 25c, S 15c, Bits. 5-15. 
WURTEMBERCIA (Pfitzer) —This popular glad, that is red with a white throat, is extra large. 
The spikes are tall and it is a strong grower. Really a wonderful glad and it should be 
in every garden today. L 3-1 5c, M 6-15c, Bits 60-10c. 
YELLOW PERFECTION (Pfitzer) —A medium colored yellow. Every spike straight and well 
placed. Dark green foliage, and this variety should be much better known by the com¬ 
mercial growers as well as the exhibitor; in fact, it may be the best commercial yellow 
to date. L 3-1 5c, M 6-1 5c, S lO-lOc, Bits. 60-1 Oc. 
ZAUBERFLOTE (Pfitzer )—Peach rose with a vivid red blotch which makes a nice color com¬ 
bination. The spikes are straight and slender, carrying the seven or eight large open 
flowers extremely well. From our short experience we would say this variety certainly 
had a future. It was a vyinner for us at New York and also received very favorable com¬ 
ment in other shows. L 25c, M 1 5c, S 10c, Bits. 5-1 Oc. 
ZAUBERIN (Pfitzer) —Very early ruffled yellow of good color that should make a fine cut 
flower variety. L 10c, M 2-lOc, S 3-lOc, Bits. 15-lOc. 
ZUNI (Mitsch) —Nice smoky of salmon shade and slate overcast. About ten medium sized 
ruffled florets open on a long spike. Strong grower. Picardy x Lighthouse seedling. 
L $1.20, M 60c, S 30c, Bits. 10c each. 
From Ithaca, New York came the following:—“The bulbs arrived and are fine ones. Just 
the kind I like to get,—clean and healthy looking.” 
A Pennsylvania customer writes:—“My bulbs at hand today in fine shape. It seems to me 
that you add to your generous overcount and extras each time.” 
Another Canadian customer writes:—“Many thanks for your shipment of bulblets received 
a few days ago. They were certainly well wrapped! Would have stood the journey to 
the North Pole. To say that I was surprised with the extras is putting it mildly. I am 
sure you did not make much on my order.” 
Iowa, January 18, 1938:—“May I say that all of my past dealings with you have been so 
satisfactory that now the only bulbs or bulblets that I buy from any other grower are 
just those that you do not list.” 
From Pennsylvania came the following:—“My bulbs arrived in fine shape. Many thanks 
for your care in packing, overcount, and especially in the selection of extras. Am so 
pleased with this order that I will mail you another one shortly. May I repeat my 
former observation that Errey's Gabriel is hard to equal in the smoky class. Also that I^ 
attribute my success in growing prize winners to the character of Flying Cloud stock.” 
Another Massachusetts customer writes:—“Your bulbs are much cleaner and healthier look¬ 
ing than some I have received from other growers. It looks as if in the future I shall 
buy almost entirely from you.”
