Large Medium Small 10 100 1,000 
'Chrysalis' (1937) (Albatross x Othello) 1 $1.00 $ .60 $ .30 $ .50 $4.00 
A pale blue of clear sparkling color, with a small true blue throat mark. Strong grower, five feet tall, with up to nine 4% 
inch florets open in good double row placement. An unusually fine exhibition variety in this color. Average propagator. Heal¬ 
thy grower. Chrysalis is invariably spotted by visitors in the field, for its clear color and striking spike. 
'Coralie' (1937) (Mrs. Sisson x Coryphee x Nuthall) 1 1.00 .60 .30 .50 3.00 
10 7.50 4.00 2.00 
Glistening pure pink of rich tone. Throat shades a bit lighter with a thin pink thread line. Somewhat ruffled, wide open, 
round 6 inch florets. Five to six open on a tall willowy, but always straight spike. An unusually beautiful variety, a hoped 
for combination of the good points of its famous parents. Good propagator. Won a Vote of Commendation at the Maryland 
Gladiolus Society Test Garden in 1938. 
'Euphony’ (1938) (Picardy x Wasaga) 1 .50 .35 .25 .30 
Shades of deepest apricot and salmon, almost tan, with a faint rose blotch. Midribs touched with a deep lavender suffusion, 
back of petals flushed a smoky lavender. These colors blend with all the subtlety found in some of the newer iris blends, a 
feature not common in glads. Five 4-inch florets open on a good spike which, however, sometimes crooks. Florets somewhat 
ruffled. Very rapid propagator. 
'Fortune' (1937) (Moorish King x Rapture) 1 1.(X) .60 .30 .50 4.00 
10 7.50 4.00 2.00 
Very deep rich pink of even tone. Heavy light red lines in throat. Six to seven 6-inch florets open in perfect placement on a 
5^-foot spike. Extra strong and husky grower and never crooks. Heavy and lasting substance. Florets and spike have the 
general form and size of Picardy. Its large size makes it an exhibition variety but it has all the qualities of a perfect com¬ 
mercial, and pormises to rank with Picardy, Minuet and Nuthall as a cut flower. Blooms about two weeks before Nuthall. Good 
propagator. Vote of Commendation, 1937, Maryland Gladiolus Society Test Garden. 
'Jacinth’ (1938) (Ramesses x Picardy) 1 .75 .50 .25 .40 3.00 
10 5.00 3.50 1.50 
A warm orange blend with lavender suffusion which produces a captivating play of color. Six to seven wide open 4i/^-inch 
florets open on a fine straight spike. Makes a very reliable cut flower in this color class. Rapid propagator and healthy grow¬ 
er. Substance is heavy and lasting. Jacinth has given us some very fine seedlings in vivid orange and orange-yellow tones. 
Won a First in the Open Orange class at the Empire State Gladiolus Show at Syracuse this Summer, even though the spikes 
shown were from small bulbs and far from representative of this variety. 
'Man o’ War’ (1938) (A seedling of Com. Koehl and Mrs. Errey) 1 1.00 .60 .30 1.00 
A glad with a brighter and lighter color than Com. Koehl. Spike very tall and very straight and up tos even 5-inch florets 
open in very good arrangement, making an unusually well balanced spike. This was shown in the seedling class in 1936 at 
Ithaca, where it received an Honorable Mention, as well as much favorable comment from growers. A very strong and healthy 
grower, giving many bulblets which germinate easily and make unusually large growth. I believe this will prove a valuable 
cut flower as well as an exhibition variety. 
'Mauve Royale’ (1937) (Moorish Rang x Rapture) 1 .20 .15 .10 .25 1.00 
An unusual color in glads, in fact, in any flower. A very rich royal mauve self with a small white throat. The color is many 
shades deeper than any mauve that I know and hard to visualize without seeing. Very large florets between 5 and 6 inches 
with 5 or 6 open on a medium tall stem, which has a bad habit of crooking, especially from larger bulbs. Bulblets bloom freely 
on good sized and straight spikes. In breeding for lavenders and mauves this has proven a reliable parent, the striking point 
in these seedlings benig the huge size inherited from Mauve Royale.

An unusually deep pink with no trace of rose, white midribs on lower petals. Five-inch florets with 6 to 7 open on a tall, 
husky, straight spike. Another variety that has all the requisites of a perfect cut flower. Very rapid propagator. I noted a 
pleasing color variation in this variety this Summer, for many spikes showed a soft gary throat blotch, which made a most 
unusually and attractive color combination. 
'Seven Seas’ (1938) (335-101) 1 2.00 1.00 .50 1.00 
An unusually attractive tone in the medium blue shades with a very subdued throat make of same shade on slight white feath¬ 
er. A slightly deeper flecking as well as a suggestion of blue green blend in its ground color gives the appealing effect of sea 
green depths. Spike is tall and straight with up to seven 5-inch folrets open in very fine double row arrangement. Its color and 
spike habits make Seven Seas the best cut flower blue I know. Another very valuable feature of Seven Seas is its ability to 
stand up perfectly under heat intense enough to cause every other blue that I know of wilt badly. Rapid propagator and very 
healthy grower. 
'Shalimar' (1937) (Cuthbertson x Mammoth White) 1 .50 .30 .15 .25 1.50 
10 3.50 2.00 1.00 
A huge pure white with a rich green yellow blotch which fades after flower opens. Grows larger with us than Star of Beth¬ 
lehem, but like that variety its stem is a bit too limber to support the flower head when eight immense florets are open. 
Round wide open florets, somewhat ruffled. Thick heavy substance. Blooms well from medium and smaller sizes.
