CATALOGUE FOR 1941 
1941 INTRODUCTIONS 
ARUNDEL (Lawrence G. Downs) (Commander 
Koehl X Pelegrina) 
A hugh dazzling scarlet from the gardens of a 
State of Maine originator. Mr. Downs has many 
outstanding Seedlings on tap and we have made 
arrangements to introduce them. Our first is 
“ARUNDEL”, and we believe it will go right 
to the top in its class. This immense brilliant red 
Glad is marked only by a single white pencil line 
on the lower lip. Opens 8 to 9 blooms averaging 
6 inches across. We have never seen a misplaced 
or crooked spike. Texture is extra heavy and pro- 
pagation and germination are excellent. (No. 1, 
2 or 3 size, $3.50 each; No. 4, 5 or 6 size, 
$2.50 each; Bulblets, 50c each, 10—$4.50). 
VIKING PRINCESS (Willis H. Wheeler) (Betty 
Nuthall X Picardy) 
This beautiful variety was outstanding in our 
gardens this summer. It won the Gold Seedling 
Cup as the Championship Seedling of the Maine 
Gladiolus Society Show. Color is a rich cream 
shading to pale yellow in the throat, a small clean 
red feather in the throat makes a different and 
striking Glad. Opens 6 to 7 ruffled blooms 4% 
inches in size. Grows tall and straight and the 
placement is usually very good. (No. 1, 2 or 3 
size, $3.50 each; No. 4, 5 or 6 size, $2.50 
each; Bulblets, 50c each, 10—$4.50). 
BADGER BEAUTY (Walter C. Krueger) (Min- 
uet X Bagdad) 
This striking Glad is the same lavender color as 
one of its parents, Minuet, in sheen and tone. It 
has a pure white throat which makes a beautiful 
color combination. Grows very tall and has not 
yet made a crooked spike. Opens 6 well placed 5 
inch florets on an 18 to 20 bud spike. Its long 
graceful spikes and its all round reliability make it 
one of the finest commercial prospects in recent 
years. Propagation and germination are both ex- 
cellent. (Large, $4.00) (Medium, $3.00) 
(Small, $2.00) (No bulblets for sale). 
FRANCIS M. IRWIN (George W. Wilson) 
(Tangerine X Minuet) 
Another fine variety from the originator of 
Peggy Lou and many other distinctive Gladiolus. 
We are describing this one as a Rose Orchid, the 
color is so different and striking that it is hard to 
describe. Makes a huge spike with a 22-bud

flowerhead and opens 8 well placed blooms averaging 51% inches across. The variety rarely

each; No. 4, 5 or 6 size, $2.00 each; Bulblets, 30c each, 10—$2.50).
