Phyllis McQuiston 
(Illustration page 23) 
A gorgeous pure pink that blends as only nature can do it to a perfectly soft 
light throat. 
The most popular of All the Pure Pinks grown today, and very, very close to 
the top of all others. It grows freely, gives tall, strong spikes that are always 
straight. It carries 18 or more buds, and holds five or more open at one time 
with ease. 
This variety has not arrived at its present enviable position among growers 
of gladiolus, both amateur and commercial, over night. It has by its own per¬ 
formance for others proven itself unequalled in all points that go to make up a 
beautiful flower for the home garden, and a desirable one to grow for profit. 
It will be grown for many years to come because of this, and in even greater 
quantities than is being grown now. We have enjoyed a complete sell out every 
year. 
“Phyllis” was our first introduction. It has been and will continue to be a 
profitable variety to grow. There are several others of our introduction which 
will “go places.” Join us—get your start now; it will be both enjoyable and 
profitable. 
Blue Ribbons 
Our varieties have been successful in the extreme this past season, so much so 
that it would be necessary for me to use an excess of superlatives and space in the 
description of every one of them if I were to even approach the grand testi¬ 
monials we have received. Some of them are brief, others dwell at length on the 
wonderful performance, and of the blue ribbons they have won with our varieties. 
I deeply appreciate every letter received and assure you we will continue to 
make every effort possible to please you. 
THE SMALL FLOWERED GLADIOLUS 
Repeated requests for the smaller varieties of gladiolus has prompted us 
to list a most comprehensive list of them this year. The flowers vary in size from 
one and one-half inches to three inches; some grow fairly tall while others grow 
only twenty inches high. They have come into greater demand as they are un¬ 
equalled for table decoration in the home and for low vases, which continue to 
increase in popularity. These smaller varieties are not all Primulinus, and should 
not be confused with this old type. The varieties we offer are all the very best in 
their respective colors which extend through the full gamut of colors. The large 
varieties have, and in addition include many pastel shades as well as several very 
attractive novelties. All are very beautiful and quite worthy of your consideration 
for the home and garden. 
The list follows. Description and prices appear in their respective alphabetical 
order in the catalog and are marked (S.D.) small decorative.
