Rose of Michigan (Decorative) (80 to 85 days). A 
gladiolus that may well be compared to an Ameri¬ 
can Beauty Rose in color and beauty. It can be 
made to grow large enough to be in the Exhibition 
Type, but loses some of its delicacy thereby. Color 
is deep rose red, which deepens in tone in the long 
round throat. Opens 6 to 8 blooms on a graceful 
stem. Foliage is dark blue-green. Correct grow¬ 
ing height is about 4 feet. The best variety in its 
color class and one that will be widely useful to 
Florists and all who like richly colored Gladiolus 
bouquets. 
Price the same as for (‘REFLECTION’.)

White Spire (Exhibition), (about 90 days.) Pure 
white slightly frilled. Tall with large perfectly 
placed blooms. The petals are chamois-like in 
substance, being thick and resilient. The white 
of this variety is most lovely, being a pure glisten¬ 
ing white with no markings. The stems are heavy 
and will hold upright the eight massive blooms 
which open at one time on an eighteen to twenty- 
four bud spike. The spike may be cut in tight 
bud for shipping and will open to perfect size and 
condition. After you have once seen a full bloom¬ 
ed spike of this, it will never be forgotten. Took 
first in Indiana, Connecticut, Michigan and New 
England Gladiolus Shows in 1938.
