MISS NEW ZEALAND (J) 60-61^-7. Light pink 
with buff tone, indistinctly flaked salmon pink, small 
medium red plume. This is one of the best and the 
largest of the new giant glads, fine for exhibition and 
where folks like ’em big, one of the best commercials. 
Will get stubby if on poor soil or dry, but given ordi¬ 
narily good culture is hard to beat. L 1-lOc, 12-80c, 
100-$5.00; M 12-50C. No small. 
MR. FRED CHRIST (D) Pale shell pink with yellow 
throat dusted red, flowers sometimes lightly flaked. This 
makes nice spikes and for a bouquet, the color effect is 
marvelous. L 12-50c, M 12-30c, S 12-15c. 
MR. W. H. PHIPPS (D) Pure pink with very little 
markings. This, although eratic, will make the finest 
spike of any glad, often having 20 or more flowers open 
at once on a fine exhibition spike. It is late to bloom 
and not generally reliable. L 12-50c, 100-$3.00; M 12- 
30c, 100-$2.00; S 12-15c. 
MRS. ANNA PFITZER (P) 42-4y2-10. Light cream 
with greenish yellow throat. Many prefer this to pure 
white, and it makes wonderful spikes, is early to bloom. 
Parent of the new Lord Selkirk. My strain is vigorous 
and prolific. A glad everyone should have. L 12-60c; M 
12-35C, 100-$2.80; S 12-20c, 100-$1.50. 
MRS. E. J. HEATON (H) 44-5-8. Deep salmon pink 
with cream throat. This is quite early and certainly 
makes majestic spikes, good cut. L 12-50c; M 12-30c; 
S 12-15C. 
MRS. LEON DOUGLAS (D) 48-6-8. Begonia rose 
often flaked slaty violet, pale yellow throat. This old 
glad is still one of the largest and finest ever produced. 
Blooms late midseason. L 12-35c, 100-$2.50; M 12-20c, 
100-$1.60. 
MRS. LULU HUNT (IH) 42-4%-5. A very early, 
tall and vigorous medium deep pink with scarlet feather, 
new. L 2-15c, 12-75c; M 12-50c; S 12-30c. 
MRS. TOM RATTRAY (E) 50-4-8. Clear soft rose 
pink, makes about as fine a spike as any and is the 
parent of most of those great exhibition varieties from 
Australia. Late to bloom and a slow propagator. L 
1- 15c, 12-$1.25; M 1-lOc, 12-80c; S 2-15c. 
MOONDARA (E) 36-4%-ll. Deep salmon pink 
lightly flaked bluish slate, red plume and dots over 
cream throat. One of the best exhibition glads ever 
produced and much prettier than the descriotion would 
indicate! L 12-50c, 100-$3.80; M 12-35c, 100-$2.40; 
S 12-20C. 
MOONLIGHT LADY (Br) 36 - 41 / 3 - 6 . This pale yellow 
flower is beautifully ruffled and makes nearly perfect 
spikes. It is one of the very earliest to bloom, a perfect 
cut-flower variety, blends with others and is prolific 
and a vigorous grower. The neutral tone is more useful 
than a deeper yellow. My 1939 introduction. L l-30c, 
12-$3.00, 100-$20.00; M l-20c, 12-$2.00, 100-|12.00; 
S 1-lOc, 12-80c, 100-$6.00; B 12-30c, 100-$2.50, 
1 , 000 - 120 . 00 . 
MOTHER MACHREE (S) 36-4-6. Smoky lavender- 
gray blended and flaked with salmon and dusky mul¬ 
berry. Color sometimes comes clear. This beautiful 
flower sold at $100 each a few years ago and is still one 
of the best of its class. Has the colors of a winter sun¬ 
set. L 12-35C, 100-12.80; M 12-20c, 100-$1.60; S 
12-lOc, 100-80C. 
MYRNA (P) A new ruffled white glad that is getting 
much praise. I have not bloomed it. L l-$2.00; M 1- 
$1.50; S 1-$1.00; B l-25c. 
NAOMI ELIZABETH (Br) Exquisitely beautiful ruf¬ 
fled pale lavender, sold for the first time, for details see 
description at head of the list. Bulbs l-$2.00; Bts. 12- 
$2.50. 
Most varieties are available by the hundred, send want- 
list for prices. 
NARBETHONG (Ey) 40-6-7. Rather dull light pink, 
orange sheen, slight red marking brushed in throat. 
Quite early, classed as a giant but not outstanding with 
me. L l-60c; S l-20c. 
NELLY (M) 48-4-6. Beautiful soft rose pink, delicate 
red mark over ivory throat. This has been very good. 
L 12-50c; M 12-30c; S 12-20c. 
NETHERLANDS PRINCE (S) 50-41/2-7. Light salm¬ 
on-orange with creamy throat. Very similar to Giant 
Nymph but for color, may be a bit larger. L 12-50c; 
M 12-25c; S 12-15c. 
NEW ERA (E) 48-4^-9. Most refreshing clear pink, 
creamy pink throat. Heavily but daintily ruffled, really 
a “new Era” in glad beauty. Have noticed that newly 
opened buds are often fragrant. L l-20c, 12-$2.00; M 
2- 25c, 12-$1.20; S 1-lOc, 12-75c; B 12-15c. 
NINTH SYMPHONY (P) Very large and vigorous 
salmon-red, blooms early. L l-20c; M l-15c, 12-$1.10; 
S 2-15c, 12-50c; B 12-lOc. 
ONETA (Kp) 36-3%-5. Very bright orange marked 
with a trace of yellow. Very tall and good cut, blooms 
early. L 12-35c; M 12-20c; S 12-lOc. 
ORANGE PRINCESS (R) 38-5-5. Flaming salmon 
orange, small scarlet plume. Early to bloom and ruffled, 
an excellent cut flower of the P’s Triumph type, but 
much more reliable. L 12-35c, 100-$2.80; M 12-20c. 
ORANGE SOVEREIGN (S) 36-4-7. An unusually 
live soft orange blending to yellow throat. This is very 
good, one of the best. L 12-50c; M 12-30c; S 12-15c. 
OREGON ROSE (M-Br) 36-6-9. Bright pure rose 
with deeper feather, each petal is edged with an ivory 
white band an eighth of an inch wide. The effect is 
different and distinctive. The flower head is perfect 
for exhibition with 6 to 13 large well-placed flowers 
open on a double row spike. Don’t know that this has 
ever been exhibited at a major show so have no list of 
winnings. Spikes are rather blunt as top flowers are 
nearly as large as the bottom ones and all open or 
showing color at one time on a 16-bud spike. This lack 
of grace is the only fault I can find with this variety, 
and it is more than compensated for by the attractive 
colors and large size. People surely go for it, it’s one of 
the most popular in my field—and I have some good 
ones. Mrs. Pickett and Mr. Ryan, local florists, tell me 
it is one of the best sellers for cut flowers of any they 
have ever stocked, making up into very attractive 
sprays. In spite of its size, substance is good and it will 
stand a lot of handling, then, too, it is the earliest BIG 
glad I grow, adding to its commercial qualities. A good 
propagator, healthy, and makes fine bulbs. A Picardy 
Seedling. E. G. C., Seattle, writes: “Must tell you how 
perfectly crazy I am about OREGON ROSE. There are 
9 open, placement perfect and light tan edge nearly % 
inch wide. Never saw anything that even resembled it, 
and such warm, rosy color. You can’t praise it too 
highly.” L, No. 1, l-$3.00, 100-f180.00; No. 2, 1- 
$2.60, 100-1156.00; M, No. 3, 1-12.20, 100-$132.00; 
No. 4, l-f2.00, 100-$120.00; S, No. 5, 1-$1.80, 100- 
$108.00; No. 6 1-$1.60, 100-$96.00; Bts. l-30c, 12- 
$3.00, 100 $18.00, 1,000-$125.00. 
Oregon Rose won an Award of Merit 
From the British Gladiolus Society, 1939. 
PAUL PFITZER (P) 40-4^-5. Fiery deep red-purple. 
One of the richest colors to be had, and one of the most 
popular. L 12-50c; M 12-30; S 12-15c. 
PEERLESS PINK (R) 40-4i^-5. Beauitful deep pink 
without conspicuous marking, large round flowers of 
good substance on long stems. Early to bloom and a 
good grower add up to make this a leading cut flower. 
L 12-35c, 100-$2.80; M 12-20c, 100-$1.60; S 12-lOc. 
PEGGY LOU (W) 48-5-6. Beautiful light rose-pink, 
throat marking similar to Minuet. Reminds me of an 
embarrassed Picardy—blushing beautifully. I like the 
color better, the form not so well, as Picardy. Has won 
plenty of prizes. Prolific. L l-25c, 12-$2.50; M l-15c, 
12-$1.50; S 2-lOc, 12-50c; B 12-15c. 
PELEGRINA (P) 34-4-7. Deep royal blue-violet with 
almost black throat. One of the darkest and bluest of 
glads. Not tall but fine spikes. L 12-35c, 100-$2.80; 
M 12-25C, 100-$1.80; S 12-15c. 
PENSACOLA (C) Bright yet soft red, scarlet with a 
hint of rose, marked with a dark red blotch. Several 
large round flowers open at once. Has not grown tall for 
me. One Australian catalog says: “It’s the best red ever 
sent out of America.” L 2-15c, 12-60c; M 12-35c; S 
12-20C. 
PHILLIS McQUISTON (S) 48-4-5, Clearest light 
pink with light throat. This is very attractive, being an 
improved Giant Nymph. L 12-50c; M 12-25c; S 12-15c. 
PICARDY (P) 48-6-7. That exquisite pastel shade, 
shrimp pink daintily suffused with buff. You see it at all 
the flower shops. You will recognize it at the shows by 
the blue ribbons generally attached. Hailed as the best 
glad ever produced, it is the most widely grown. L 12- 
35c, 100-$2.80; M 12-20c, 100-$1.60; S 12-lOc. 
PICARDY (Special Strain) Propagated from a bulblet 
J. H. Heberling sent me when bulblets were selling at 
25c each. (I remember the thrill of it yet.) It has al¬ 
ways produced such superior spikes to regular strain 
grown beside it that I have decided to offer you a start. 
For me, it never sends stubby spikes, even under ad¬ 
verse conditions, when other Picardy in the next row are 
very irregular. L 12-50c; M 12-30c, 100-$2.50; S 12- 
20c, 100-$1.00; B 100-25c. 
PIMPERNIL (M) 45-5-6. Very bright scarlet with 
small snow white blotch, sharp contrast and a fine spike. 
L 2-15c, 12-75c; M 2-lOc, 12-50c; S 12-30c. 
POLAR ICE (P) 38-4-5. The purest white, a much 
healthier Albatross. Surely a promising commercial, it 
is very early to bloom. M 12-30c; S 12-15c, 100-80c. 
PRAIRIE GOLD (C) 56-41/2-5. Very deep yellow, tips 
and reverse of petals often lightly brushed with orange. 
Effect is about the deepest yellow one could wish for. 
Rather late to bloom. Healthy, good size and stems, 
prolific. A desirable commercial. L 1-lOc, 12-80c, 100- 
$5.00; M 12-40c, 100-$3.00; S 12-25c, 100-$2.00. 
PREDOMINATOR (Kd) 50-5-6. Salmon with deep 
red feather. This is surely a grand glad, very tall and a 
splendid grower. Blooms late. One of my best cut 
flower varieties. L 12-35c, 100-$2.80; M 12-20c. 
PRIMATE (C) 48-4-6. Deep butter yellow without 
markings. Very fine form and one of the tallest. Late 
to bloom. This doesn’t do well if bloomed in hot weather, 
but in Canada has been selected as the best yellow. 
L 12-50c; M 12-30c; S 12-20c; B (Ig) 12-lOc. 
PRINCE OF INDIA (Cs) 30-3%-5. All of the rich, 
smoky, oriental colors, blended into a whole that takes 
everyone’s eye. Makes quite small snikes but is big in 
popularity. L 12-50c, M 12-30c. 
PURPLE GLORY (Kd) 36-5-5. Dark maroon (not 
purple). Ruffled. Very popular. L 12-50c. 
RAMESES (S) 42-6-5. Red purple with maroon 
throat. Heavily ruffled and distinctly formed. One of 
the tallest. Sells too well. L 12-50c; M 12-30c. 
REAH (S) 36-4-5. Light mallow purple with almost 
black blotch. This surely is a pretty color and the con¬ 
trast is striking. L 12-35c; M i2-20c; S 12-lOc. 
RECOVERY (B) 48-4-8. Light salmon rose red 
without conspicuous markings. Sometimes flakes a bit. 
This makes wonderful spikes but small bulbs. L 12-50c; 
M 12-25c' S 12-15c 
RED CLOUD (Kd) 38-4)4-8. Beautiful soft cardinal 
red with white mid-ribs. Makes fine spikes on long 
stems. An improved Dr. Bennett here. L 12-35, 100- 
$2.80; M 12-20c. 
RED FIRE (Kd) 48-4-5. The fiery red that hurts 
your eyes to look at in bright sunshine. One of the most 
popular for cutting. L 12-50c, 100-$3.50; M 12-30c; S 
12-15C, 100-80C. 
RED LORY (E) 48-4)4-10. Medium red with rose 
shadings, makes the finest spikes of any red and is good 
for exhibition or cutting. L 12-50c, 100-$3.00; M 12- 
30c; S 12-15C, 100-1.00. 
RED PHIPPS (B) 50-4-10. Soft salmon-red. This 
makes fine spikes with many open and is rather early. 
L 12-50c; M 12-25c; S 12-i5c.
