GOLDEN GALLEON (Mason) 82 **—fft 
Exh. Com. Light yellow. Color and 
ruffing about as Golden Chimes. But, 
with us, No. 4M _ bulbs, well grown, 
make spikes approximately as Golden 
Chimes at its best from young jumbo 
bulbs. Golden Galleon, from L_ bulb, 
makes spikes up to 6 ft. tall, often with 2 
and 3 sides spikes with 8-14 buds per side 
spike. 59 total buds we have had on a 
single spike. Florets larger than any 
yellow we have seen (except our seedling 
73395), about 6 inches 7-8 open on long 
flowerhead. Plant makes powerful growth. 
Good commercial cut flower habits, 
including fairly good propagation. Many 
know it as ‘‘Mason’s Yellow Seedling.”’

“Golden Galleon had ten open blooms, 14 buds on main 
spike and two branch spikes of 12 buds each. The small 
spikes were blooming while the main spike was still in bloom. 
The large bulb made only one plant but it gave a wonderful 
display. I rate Golden Galleon as the finest yellow variety.”

GOLDEN GODDESS 95 —}{t{t Exh. The 
first patented gladiolus (U.S. Plant Patent 
No. 77). Clear, deep monotone yellow. 
Consistently makes long, compact flower- 
heads with about 12 open florets and a 
total of about 22 buds. Color is richer 
than that of the other yellows listed. 
Florets larger than those of Golden Dream, 
flowerhead longer, stem shorter. We have 
grown this variety 6 years and are satis- 
fied that the color value is outstanding.
