Finest Gladiolus 
RISING SUN (Salbach 1936). A seedling from 
Pfitzer's Triumph and Mrs. S. A. Errey with 
the best qualities of both parents. Flowers 
the size of Pfitzer's Triumph, with the bright 
flame orange of Mrs. Errey, but the color 
clarity of the former 
The most flaming, color of any gladiolus 
we know. Time and time again our visitors 
have picked it first among all other gladio¬ 
lus in our demonstration displays. Six of 
18 buds open at once. Should be cut when 
the third floret starts to open. Mid-season.

SALBACH'S ORCHID (Salbach). Colored the 
same lavender pink as a Cattleya orchid. 
Similar in form to Minuet, but pinker, and 
retains its color under artificial light. Large, 
wide-open blooms of heavy substance and 
fine placement. As many as 10 blooms 
open at once, and one of the few flowers 
that will stand the hottest sun without fading 
or wilting. A. M., R. H. S., 1936. Splendid 
cut flower. Early.

SALBACH'S PINK (Salbach). Most attractive 
in its own right because of its color, growth, 
and habits, but very definitely Increased In 
worth many times by the fact that It is one 
of the most thrips resistant of all gladiolus. 
We have this on the authority of the Agri¬ 
cultural branch of the University of Cali¬ 
fornia, which, after a second year of test¬ 
ing, reported that Salbach's Pink is the 
most resistant of all. Large, wide-open, 
glowing geranium pink, with soft carmine 
tongue and throat markings. Long, grace¬ 
ful flower spike with 8 to 16 open at once. 
Fine placement and heavy substance. Last 
florets open in water as well as the first, and 
are beautiful as rosebuds. Late.

SENSATION (Marshall). Well named for it 
is truly sensational. We grew this variety 
the past season, and it reminded us much 
of our own variety, California — except 
that it was considerably lighter In color. 
The florets are very large and of heavy 
substance, are well expanded and some¬ 
what ruffled. The color is a clear soft rose, 
shading to lighter throat. Six of the 17 
buds open at one time. A vigorous grower, 
and good increaser. Straight stems.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE. No gladiolus is more beau¬ 
tiful than the good spikes of Shirley Temple 
— for it has the softest, yet richest color 
(deep cream, yet no hint of yellow), it is 
heavily ruffled, and is so large that it bor¬ 
ders on the mammoth class. Placement 
not always perfect, and the spikes some¬ 
times crook when grown in unusual heat — 
otherwise the growth and habit is top-notch 
in every respect. 
Despite its occasional faults, Shirley 
Temple remains supreme in Its color class. 
Early mid-season.

"Rising Sun did very well. Showed seven 
five-inch florets open in fine formation. Plants 
grew very tall and straight."

SNOWPRINCESS 
SNOWPRINCESS. Goodbye Maid of Or¬ 
leans! For Snowprincess has the same 
color, but is clearer, and has the same fine 
habit, size, etc., of Maid of Orleans in every 
respect • — except that Snowprincess is much 
taller, standing 5 feet. Placing and facing 
is perfect, 6 large florets open at once 
on long flower head. Color — clear white 
with milky throat — should replace most of 
the white as a cut flower. Mid-season.
