NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 29 

TRAUMEREI (Pfitzer)—Enormous light lavender florets make this variety a delegate for the 
“giant’’ class. Although it only opens about six or seven blooms, it makes a tremen- 
dous spike due to the large florets and long flower head. L 2-25c, M 2-I5c. | 
TRAUERMANTEL (Pfitzer)—A rather new one that is two shades of violet, the lower petals 
being of a darker velvety purple. The florets are large, well placed and faced on strong 
spikes. This early midseason variety makes a real nice novelty and there are no others 
of this color combination. L 75¢, M 50c, § 25c, Blts. 2-15c. 
TROOL (Mair) —Bright begonia pink with clear white throat and midribs. Strong grower and 
attractive. L 30c, M 20c, S 10c, Bits. 10-30c. 
TUNIA’S BLUE (Both) —Very large individual blooms of a medium dark blue, darker at edges 
and then darker again in the throat. Tall husky 20 bud spikes with 7-8 open. Like 
many “‘blues’’ it is not too great a propagator but a splendid glad. L 30c, M 20c, S$ 10¢e, 
Bits. 10-30c. 
TUNIA’S TRIUMPH (Both) —This one has been called a ‘‘Triumph’’ for exhibition and com- 
mercial purposes. The enormous, slightly ruffled, glistening red florets are well formed 
on massive spikes. A dandy to be sure! L 20c, M 15c, S 2-15c, Bits. 20-25c. 
VALERIA (Pruitt)—Clear red with a silky sheen. It shades a bit darker towards the center 
and has a faint white line in the lower petals. A lovely color. L 20c, M 15c, $ 2-15e, 
Bits. 20-25c. 
VAN TIENHOVEN (Duijn) —A brilliant red glad with extra large florets on handsome spikes. 
Scored 84% as a commercial glad for cut flower purposes at Pappas Nurseries and it has 
been a fine all-round flower with us. L 10c, M 2-15c, S 2-10c, Bits. 25-15c. 
VATER RHEIM (Barth)——Bright carmine red, spotted darker. Very large flowers well ar- 
ranged on the spike. A nice glad. L 15c, M 10c, S 3-15c, Bits. 10-i5c. 
VELA (Heemskerk) —Bright rose red making long spikes with flowers well placed. A pretty 
one. First Class Certificate at Haarlem, Holland in 1937. L 20c, M 15c¢, S 2-15c, Blts. 
20-25c. 
VICTORY (Heemskerk )—Rosy orange with a white throat on which are slight garnet lines. 
The blooms are large and nicely placed on fine spikes. L 30c, M 20c, S 10c, Bits. 
10-30c. 
VREDENBURG (Pfitzer)—Another fine early white from the ‘father of the wnites.”’ We 
feel that this variety may replace the now. popular Polar Ice. The large florets open 
flatter than those of Polar Ice and have the texture of Maid of Orleans. L 20c, M 15e, 
S 2-15c, Bits. 20-25c. 
WAIKAWA 1(Burns)—Warm rich rosine pink with light cherry blotch outlined with cream. 
Nicely ruffled, wide open flowers of perfect form. Looks to be a good one. L $1.00, 
M 60c, S 30c, Bits. 10c each. 
WAIANAWA—Lovely lavender blue, dark at edges, going to white at the throat where there 
are a few violet lines. Tall husky grower and a nice addition to the “‘blue”’ class. Lb 50c, 
M 30c, S 15c, Bléts. 12-50c. 
WALK-OVER (Pfitzer)—Large clear scarlet florets with the center petal faintly outlined 
white. The florets are extra large and broad, lying flat to the stem. In Holland it has 
been voted the best mid-early gladiolus. L 25c, M 15c, S 2-15c, Bits. 10-15c. 
WAMPUM (Winsor) —See Flying Cloud Farms’ Introductions. 
WATERLOO—This must be a smoky. The grand color is a nice salmon overlaid with grey, 
giving it a slatey salmon color. A garnet feather livens up the throat,—a pretty novelty. 
L 40c, M 25c, S 15c, Bits. 10-25c. 
WATRAU—Another salmon with a smoky cast. Very pretty with its lighter throat and 
feather of brownish red. Quite different. L 20c, M 15c, S 2-15c, Bits. 20-25c. 
WHERO (Burns) —A great new red from the originator of Takina. The color is a very bril- 
liant scarlet red with darker flecks at the outer edges of the petals. The blooms are 
large and of good substance. With ten of these big flowers open at once, on a big spike, 
this variety will go far in any show. L 10c, M 2-15ce, S 2-10c, Blts. 25-15c. 
WHITE CITY (Mair) —A pure white. A magnificent spike. Has been shown with 14 open 
flowers; very good. L 30c, M 20c, S 10c, Bits. 10-30c. * 
WHITE COLOSSUS (Roozen)—Enormous pure white flowers that are as much as 6” across. 
The petals are creamy in the bud but bleach to a pure white before the fiowers open; 
the long petals roll back a bit as do the petals of a gardenia. This glad found much 
favor in our garden this past season. L 25¢, M 15c, S 2-15c, Bits. 10-15c. 
WHITE ORCHID (Purple)—The earliest white we grow. A creamy white with strong sub- 
stance and heavily ruffled. A few creamy lavender darts in the throat add character to 
the graceful spikes which are typical of this variety. Florists prefer this to any other 
-- “white for individual’ floret work as~corsages, bridal’ bouquets and- wreaths. L 6-25c, 
M 6-15c, S 6-10c, Bits. 50-10c.
