ROSA VAN LIMA 
“Crystal gave me a real kick and whoever produced Rosa 
van Lima created a masterpiece.”’ 1-22-40. E. H. L., 
Cologne, Minn. 
“Festival Queen was a knockout—five 61% in. florets on 
a strong, straight spike, better color than Picardy. Jersey 
Cream is all you claim for it. Winall put out tall spikes with 
10 florets open. But Rosa van Lima was a wonder. Seven 
6 in. florets on perfect spikes and the color is what we have 
been looking for for several years.’ 825-40. F. F. S., 
Shreve, Ohio. 
“Every flower produced from your bulbs was fine but most 
of all Rosa van Lima, of which you sent me 3 gratis bulbs. 
The flowers were 6-7 in. across and on digging the bulbs 
I found an incredible yield of bulblets. Came a rainy day and 
1 counted them—960 (that’s right, nine hundred sixty 
bulblets of varying size!’ 10-15-40. W.C. W., N.Y. 
City.

ROSA VAN LIMA 77 *+7t{ Dec. Com. 
The finest, bright, light rose pink we have 
ever offered. Has a harmonizing small 
spot of deeper orchid violet. A_ real 
apple blossom pink. The color we 
growers and florists have hoped to see in 
a gladiolus coupled with 100% satis- 
factory commercial cut flower habits. 
Destined to achieve great success in the 
gladiolus industry. Won two blue ribbons 
for us at Mich., two and section champion 
for us at Ohio and one at Mah. (2nd show), 
all’39. The spike in our illustration opened 
as shown in the field but one or two less 
open comes nearer the average perfor- 
mance in the field. Excellent propagator 
and a bargain at twice the prices we are 
asking. E.N.Y., Md., Pa:, Utah, Wells-
