Mrs. 
Howard Bow 
We believe is our best 1940 introduction. 
It is a result of a cross from Com. Koehl X 
Picardy that has given us so many out¬ 
standing seedlings. It is a beautiful sal¬ 
mon-pink with a lighter throat. The center 
of each petal is ribbed lighter, the lower 
petals showing a small red line. It is 
deeper than Picardy and the back of the 
petals are a most beautiful, even, deep 
salmon color. Medium early and grows 
as large as Picardy and is disease free. 
Mrs. Howard Bow makes a large, tall 
plant and is a good propagator and 
germinator. It is in the exhibition class, 
making a very good cut flower.

Mrs. A. R. Pontius 
Mrs. 
A. R. Pontius 
Introduced in 1938, continues to be a win¬ 
ner in every section of the country it has 
been grown. It is one of the most depend¬ 
able white Gladiolus we grow, both in 
the field and on the show table. Mrs. A. R. 
Pontius will grow as large as Mammoth 
White, its seed parent, but will produce 
far better spikes with placement nearly 
perfect. Its small rose-lavender blotch 
only adds to its immaculate beauty. Prop¬ 
agation and germination of this new 
white is above the average. Mrs. A. R. 
Pontius won blue ribbons in the commer¬ 
cial class for the best white in its division 
in both the Indiana State Gladiolus Show 
at Elkhart, Indiana, and the Michigan 
State Show at Bay City, last August.
