FLAME NYMPH (Lins 1940) 
This seedlingr of Aflame x Giant Nymph seems to 
have the Rood qualities of both parents and retains 
only one of their faults ; that is, the florets are some¬ 
what loosely attached to spike like Aflame. It is pure 
pink in color with medium creamy white blotch, open- 
inR about seven wide-open 5^-inch florets on tall 
straight spike of twenty-two to twenty-four buds, all 
showing color. Generally a very reliable performer 
and reported very favorably by Legion Trial Gardens. 
This one will win for you.

6%-inch florets on tall straight spike of eighteen to 
twenty buds. In three years’ trial have never had a

Medium and Small Bulbs 
Few gladiolus enthusiasts are aware that good 
blooms are produced from medium bulbs of almost 
all varieties. Notice our low prices on medium and 
small bulbs. This is an opportunity for you to have 
quantities of bloom next season at a very low price. 
Don’t overlook the special 20% discount on orders 
from this list mailed not later than December 15, 
1940. This represents a further substantial saving 
to you and we will be glad to hold the bulbs until 
planting time for you. Thus you will be assured 
that the bulbs will reach you in good condition 
next spring. 
Small bulbs of Picardy, Nola and many other 
varieties give good size blooms, but small bulbs 
cannot always be depended upon to bloom. How¬ 
ever, many get a start of the newer varieties by 
buying small bulbs. They will grow top-size bulbs 
for the following year.
