CARILLON 
M AUNG A. Largest of the whites, and 
of pure color. Maunga stands as “the” 
white for winning prizes, for a perfect 
spike will be almost impossible to beat. 
However, it cannot be relied to give 
good spikes consistently, for although 
its habit is excellent in most respects, 
the facing is erratic — with the florets 
opening around the spike more times 
than they come facing perfectly. 
Florets immense, reported as up to 8 
inches across. Seven of 18 buds open 
at once. Mid-season.

“Festival Queen easily the finest glad in 
the garden, in spite of an all summer 
drought.” — E. J. G., Wisconsin. 
CANDY HEART 
Finest Gladiolus 
MARDI GRAS (Salbach). A very large 
tall, and vigorous variety, most un¬ 
usual in its color and of fine all-around 
habit. A variety that we introduced 
several seasons ago, but were never 
able to list a second time due to a very 
unfortunate stock loss. Color orange 
scarlet with yellow throat. Six to 7 
of 18 buds open at once with florets 6 
inches across, 2^ foot flower spike, and 
plants five feet tall. No small bulbs 
or bulblets for sale. Mid-season. Large 
or medium sized bulbs — $3.50 ea. 
MARMORA. The most popular of the 
“smoky” glads. Voted fourth most pop¬ 
ular among all gladiolus in A. G. S., be¬ 
ing the first smoky to “place”. Good 
placement with eight or more open at 
once. Tall. Color a lavender gray 
with a glowing red-violet blotch that 
gives it life and distinction. Very large. 
Large, 10c ea., 3 for 20c, 6 for 35c, 12 
for 60c, 25 for $1.10, 100 for $4.00. 
In the picture of GRAND 
OPERA, right, the bottom floret 
measured eight and one-half inches 
across, and the entire plant was 
just under six feet tall; and 
CANDY HEART, bottom left, was 
also large enough to qualify it as 
a “mammoth”, for the bottom floret 
was over seven inches across. 
CARILLON, center, is also large, 
but not quite as big as the other 
two. 
GRAND OPERA 
The penciled line is at 8 inches 
MAYA MAID (Salbach 1936). The most 
distinct and striking novelty since Rose 
Ash and Mother Machree — a real rus¬ 
set brown gladiolus. Completely dis¬ 
tinct from any other gladiolus, a beau¬ 
tiful and sensational creation. 
A sturdy grower that often blooms 
even from bulblets. Blooms wide open, 
seven or eight florets open at once, with 
a total of. nineteen to twenty blooms 
and buds. Coloring best described as 
the color of the brownest autumn 
leaves — definitely brown, but in the 
rich reddish shades of that color. The 
throat, which is of cream, heavily 
feathered reddish brown, blends in per¬ 
fectly with the predominating color of 
the flower. 
The finest of all the “unusual” glads 
that we know, and unquestionably 
bound for tremendous popularity. 
Large, 50c ea.; Med., 30c ea., 3 for 75c; 
Small, 15c ea., 3 for 35c.; Bits., 20 for 
50c, 50 for $1.00. 
“Your Miss Alameda is one of the most 
beautiful gladiolus I have ever seen.” 
— E. C. S., Ohio.
