HAMBURG, N. Y. 
NEW GLADIOLUS—Cont. 
PICARDY SPORT NO 1. (Hornberger) Listed last year under the name of “Belle 
of Picardy,” which we decided to change to PICARDY SPORT No. 1 this season. 
As described in the regular price list where it is listed this year, this variety is 
a most beautiful creamy buff pink, same size, habits and other qualities of 
Picardy except color. This is Picardy, only with a color so different as to 
appear like an entirely different variety. For more details about sports, read 
my article about them in this catalog. _ 
PICARDY" SPORT No. 2. (Hornberger) This is still another of our several color 
sports of Picardy. It is like Picardy in everything except color. I will class 
for this brief description as a shade of terra cotta, much darker than the color 
of Picardy. We do not have this in quantity to list for sale this year.
