ORIGINATIONS AND INTRODUCTIONS 
FOR 1939 
Mrs. K. T. Keller 
We are happy indeed to name this flower for Mrs. Iv. T. Keller. Mr. Keller is 
president of the Chrysler Automobile Corporation. Both he and Mrs. Keller are 
lovers of flowers, and they are particularly fond of gladiolus, and with Mrs. 
Keller’s favorite being yellow it is quite fitting to name this grand yellow for her. 
This flower is much larger than any of the yellows, and of the wide open 
type. It is an exquisite shade of perfectly clear soft yellow, blending to a deeper 
throat without any markings whatsoever, giving the entrie flower a depth and 
richness enhancing the beauty of this stately variety. There are six or more of 
these large flowers open at one time on a tall strong spike of twenty buds. The 
plant is very vigorous, a real improvement in the yellows.

Eileen Friedell 
In recent years there has been an increased popularity in white flowers. 
Eileen Friedell’s interest, and love for white flowers, and more especially the white 
gladiolus antedates by several years this more recent demand; I feel that it is 
most appropriate to name this beautiful white for her. 
While these flowers are a perfectly clear white they are soft, a touch of re¬ 
finement is given by the soft ruby throat. The entire throat has a cast of soft 
color, giving richness and depth to this gorgeous flower. The plant is vigorous 
and strong, with tall erect spikes holding five or more of these flowers open at 
one time with eighteen or more buds.

Mrs. Julia P. Buhl 
Here we offer something very different. A large flower and a tall heavy 
growing plant that is vigorous, something new in the violet color class. The large 
flower is a rich violet with a blue cast at the outer edges of the petals, and blends 
gradually to a soft cream throat which is overlaid with a delicate blue violet 
feather. It will hold four or more open at a time, and is very well liked wherever 
shown. 
It is my privilege to name this flower for one who loved and has given so 
liberally for the children of Sharon, Pa. Her philanthropic work will ever be on 
the tongues of Sharonites. A real lover of flowers which was so freely expressed 
on her numerous visits to our gardens.

Mrs. Caroline Werner Gannett 
(Chamberlin-Stewart) 
This 1939 introduction is, without exception, the largest gladiolus I have ever 
seen. Unlike other so-called mammoths this variety has the ideal spike; strong, 
always erect with its flowers perfectly arranged, and easily seven or more open; 
I have seen ten open at one time, all in fine condition. The round flowers are of 
medium rose with a slight cast of salmon; the large cherry blotch is soft and 
blends nicely. The entire flower has a richness and depth of color with perfectly 
firm and wonderful substance. Not a sign of softness or looseness.
