1938 INTRODUCTIONS 
Mary Damaris 
(Illustration page 28) 
This is by far the most beautiful shade of soft yellow I have ever seen in 
gladiolus, perfectly clear with white stamens. The placement is ideal and holds 
seven or more large flowers open at one time. It consistently produces 40-inch 
spikes even from small bulbs that are always erect and strong. A free and vigor¬ 
ous growing variety, a good producer. This variety repeatedly wins in its color 
class wherever shown. The illustration on page 3 was made from a photo of the 
three winning spikes at the big Boston Show 1938, where it had previously won. 
Mary Mamaris is the most satisfactory cut flower and exhibition yellow today.

This variety has proven itself many times as being superior to all in its color 
class. It repeatedly wins in the Canadian Gladiolus Society shows. The color is 
buff-orange, with eight or more large flowers open at a time with 18 or more buds. 
The spike is tall, erect and holds the perfectly placed flowers easily. 
It is an excellent cut flower, possessing more than ordinary ability to with¬ 
stand the warm days.
