GENERAL LIST OF GLADIOLU: 
All our bulbs are plump, healthy, and both large and medium bulbs are of 
blooming size. Small bulbs usually produce blooms late in the season. Bulb- 
lets seldom bloom the first year, and a percentage of these "baby" bulbs al¬ 
ways fails to germinate — the rest grow into bvilbs, mostly small. 
Large bulbs always produce the finest exhibition spikes, and sometimes 
throw several spikes to the bulb. Medium sized bulbs give excellent spikes, 
particularly when planted early in the season. Small sized bulbs seldom give 
much more than a very short spike, but produce large bulbs for the following 
season. Bulblets seldom flower, but grow into bulbs, mostly of small size. 
Large bulbs are 1 V 4 inches in diameter or over; medium ore 1 inch to 1V 4 
inches; and small bulbs are V 2 to % inch. L. = large, M. = medium, 
S. = small. When the size is not noted, large size is implied. 
For special collections see page 13. Primulinus type listed separately on 
page 14. 
The 3-6-12-25 prices are applicable to one individual variety, not to differ¬ 
ent ones priced alike — no quantity less than 50 at the hundred rate, and no 
smaller quantities than those listed. 
These prices cancel all previous quotations. 
ALADDIN. A robust variety of such gigantic 
size that it falls into the mammoth class. 
Eight to 10 immense blooms (all over 6 
inches across) open at once on a long flovrer 
spike. Very showy and a strong propaga¬ 
tor.' Color grenadine to grenadine pink in 
the throat, with cream blotch.

ALLEGRO. One of the most attractive of all 
the blues. The color is a very pleasing 
shade of light blue with cream throat mark¬ 
ings. Blooms are of good size and are well 
placed on a slender wiry stem. Six blooms

ARABELLA. A very dark, almost black red. 
Florets not quite as large as those of Moorish 
King, but the flower spike is much longer, 
and it is a much faster increaser than the 
latter. Our choice as the best of the neor- 
blacks.

BETTY HUMPHRIES. This new Australian 
variety has been referred to as a glorified 
"Betty Nuthall." Last year we bloomed a 
few and it seems to us it merited introduc¬ 
tion. This year we flowered it again in 
larger numbers — and we are confirmed in 
our belief that Betty Humphries has a defi¬ 
nite place in the gladiolus world. The color 
is a rich orange pink ■— somewhat deeper 
and brighter than the well known Betty 
Nuthall. The flowers are of good size — 
with many open at one time. A planting of 
these makes a bright spot in the garden, and 
the cut blooms are especially bright and 
cheerful under 
electric light.

BETTY NUTHALL (Salbach). A vigorous grow¬ 
er, with tallest of spikes, Betty Nuthall has 
probably been grown in greater quantity 
and more places than any other gladiolus 
save Picardy. Six to 8 blooms open at once 
on an unusually long spike. Color — glow¬ 
ing orange pink with yellow throat. Late 
blooming.

BIT O' HEAVEN. A very tall rich coppery 
orange. Vigorous grower with 8 to 10 of 
the 20 to 24 buds open at once. The florets 
are not large, but on account of the rich 
color and long flower spike, a basket of 
these is positively stunning. Definitely out- 
standing 
and 
very desirable.
