THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 
CHANGEABLE SILK (Baerman) 95 *~Ut 
Exh. A flesh toned rose pink with a 
silvery sheen, producing an extremely 
beautiful color. Round florets, slightly 
ruffled, 7 open on a long spike. We fore¬ 
cast popularity without hesitation. Each 
L $6.00 M 4.50 S 3.00 Bits .75 
DR. DENTZ (Clingendaal) 80 ***—ft Exh. 
Com. Giant round, wide open florets. 
Excellent commercial color of fresh, pure 
rose. Has secured all the awards which 
can be obtained from the Dutch society, 
including F.C.C. and has an A. M. from the 
B. G. S. L.75 M.50 S.25 Bits .06 
EXGELL (E. Both) 85 **—Exh. 
Perfectly clear, rosy pink, with white line 
through center of each petal, except that 
lip petal is clean white, surrounded by a 
thin edge of the rosy pink. 53^-6 inch 
florets, 8 open (we have had 12). Lots of 
bud color. Without our high winds of last 
August we might not have noticed that the 
attachment of floret to stem may not be as 
strong as could be desired. This is the 
only feature that could possibly keep Excell 
from becoming a fine commercial as its 
color value is beyond any possible criti¬ 
cism. If you are looking for a genuine 
beauty, here it is.

noted tall ones in commerce. Often over 
6 ft. P.G. style of spike from field grown 
young bulbs but Exh. spikes when well 
grown from L bulbs. Eight 6 inch florets

petals. Immense, round, well expanded 
florets over 6 inches dia. 5-6 open, around 
16 buds. Placement and facing is consis¬ 
tently good. Has been in the market 
several years but the price heretofore 
minimized dissemination. Gold Medal

ROSA VAN LIMA 77 * + Dec. Com. 
The finest, bright, light rose pink we have 
ever offered. Has a harmonizing small 
spot of deeper orchid violet. A real 
apple blossom pink. The color we 
growers and florists have hoped to see in 
a gladiolus coupled with 100% satis¬ 
factory commercial cut flower habits. 
Destined to achieve great success in the 
gladiolus industry. Won two blue ribbons 
for us at Mich., two and section champion 
for us at Ohio and one at Mah. (2nd show), 
all ’39. The spike in our illustration opened 
as shown in the field but one or two less 
open comes nearer the average perfor¬ 
mance in the field. Excellent propagator 
and our introductory prices warrant your 
immediate consideration. L.50 M.30 S.15

SALBACH’S ORCHID 88 **—fU Dec. 
Lavender pink rose. Just the shade of 
Cattleya orchid. Good commercial quali¬ 
ties, able to stand the hottest sun without 
fading or wilting. We registered the first 
win for this variety at the big A.G.S. 
Cleveland show, ’31. Now leading its color 
class in the N.E.G.S. symp. We clear the 
slate of awards, picking up Mah., Ames
