chamois-like in substance being thick and resilient. The 
stems are strong and hold upright the eight massive 
blooms which open at a time. The dark green leaves are 
broad and straight. The white of this Gladiolus is most 
lovely, being a pure glistening white with no markings. 
The long tapering flower head carries 20 to 24 buds. This 
variety has the outstanding ability to open to natural 
size when having been cut and shipped in tight bud. 
White Spire has won first awards in Indiana, Connecti¬ 
cut, Michigan and New England Gladiolus Shows. This 
is the introducers description. I have seen this glad and 
do not hesitate to indorse it. 1 L., 75c; 1 M., 40c. 
We have quite a long list of glads in our trial plot that 
we do not list for various reasons. Some we do not cate 
to recommend, others in small lots. If you desire a few 
bulbs of some variety not listed, ask about it and we may 
be able to accommodate you.
