REPORT ON GLADS GROWN AT 
CANADIAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY 
TRIAL GROUNDS — 1939 
Grand Opera was one of the finest of the 
lot, grew tremendous spikes, perfectly stiff and 
straight with 7 florets open. 
La Fiesta won a lot of friends. This variety 
opens all the way up the spike then opens up 
side spikes at the same time. 
Candy Heart made quite a hit with every¬ 
one. They all liked the fine light color and 
giant florets. 
Miss America was very well received. This 
one grew a tall straight spike with very large 
wide open florets 6" wide and 6 open. Color 
was very clean and pure. 
Opal Queen created excitement among our 
keenest fans. A very beautiful and unusual 
color, very large 6" florets made this one of 
great interest to everyone. Plants were very 
strong and healthy. 
Maya Maid proved to be one of most un¬ 
usual coloring. Showed 8 open. 
All the varieties you sent have behaved 
splendidly. All grew fine strong healthy plants, 
strong straight spikes and colors were clear 
and clean. I can recommend your origina¬ 
tions as being most suitable ones for our 
Canadian climate as we experience it here 
in Ontario.
