OTHER 1940 INTRODUCTIONS 
ART'S PURPLE is a decorative Emile Aubrun seed¬ 
ling with wide open flowers of a good purple 
color. It is extremely healthy in every way. It 
seems to be one of the few glads that is not 
affected by the dreaded Fusarium Rot or other 
dangerous diseases. Excellent propagator and 
germinator. It is a good cut flower also. Blooming 
size bulbs 25c each, per doz., $2.50. 
MR. F. W. DAVIS, a Com. Koehl X Picardy seedling, 
is a very fine light red that has great commercial 
possibilities. It opens up six, five-inch florets on 
a long willowy spike. It makes huge plants and 
is a very rapid propagator. You ought to add 
this to your red list. We are introducing it at a 
price that will enable you to buy a larger 
quantity for we are sure you will not be disap¬ 
pointed. No. 1 and 2 size bulbs, 25c each, per 
doz., $2.50, 100 at $20.00. 
SMOKY No. 59 an Emile Aubrun seedling in the

20c each, per doz., $2.00, 100 at $15.00. 
EARLIER SEEDLING introductions 
EL-NATHAN. Beautifully ruffled flowers of a 
pleasing salmon on a very straight spike. Liked 
well wherever grown. Granting that the place¬ 
ment is at times poor it is still worth while. 
Per bulb, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100 at $10.00. 
EMMY GLO is a decorative salmon-buff with yel¬ 
low throat, stippled red. Opens up 6 to 7 nicely 
ruffled florets on a long slightly bending spike. 
Undoubtedly one of the top notchers in propa¬ 
gation and germination. Has made some nice 
wins at the shows. Blooming size bulbs not 
smaller than No. 3 at 20c each; doz., $2.00; 
100 at $15.00. 
MRS CHAS. VAN RYN is another lovely pink Glad 
of the shade that has become increasingly 
popular among Gladiolus lovers. Its unique 
charm is best described by the early acquired 
appellation of "Pink Minuet." Its mellow sal¬ 
mon shade (similar to that of Picardy) deepens 
slightly in the throat. In wet weather it is some¬ 
what inclined to flake, but when this occurs it 
is still a very beautiful Gladiolus, different and 
distinct. No. 1, 2 and 3 size bulbs, 75c each; 
$7.50 per doz. 
NORTHERN ROSE. Is a true old rose in color 
growing to large exhibition size. Opens up 6 to 
7 large florets on a slender spike. It is medium- 
late in blooming. Excellent propagator and 
germinator. Per bulb, 20c each; per doz., $2.00; 
100 at $15.00.
