SIX SUPERB NEW PATENTED VARIETIES _ 
Patented because they are outstanding and a big advance in their various color classes.- Because of the patents 
no grower other than Carl Salbach has a financial interest in these varieties, so he is free*to fix the prices in keeping 
with the amount of stock available. By careful growing he has increased his stock pus. and therefore is offering 
them at much more attractive prices than last year. 
We have been granted permission to sell these varieties during the 1941 season, using a stock supplied by Mr. 
Salbach. No-small bulbs or bulblets for sale. Prices are the same on.all six. Large, each $1.00; medium, each 50c. 
Special Group Offer, one large bulb each six patented varieties—California, Grand Opera, Helen of Troy, King of 
Bees oe Bride, and Sir Galahad—separately labeled, for $3.50. One medium size bulb of each, separately 
labeled, $1.7 ie 
CALIFORNIA, An immense deep geranium pink that is simply breath-taking, almost a self color, except for a 
slightly deeper pink blotch in throat. Blooms are well expanded, are of heavy substance and are slightly ruffled: 
Plants make vigorous growth and are tall with long flower spikes, six to eight blooms open at one time, floret 
measuring 7% inches. 
KING OF HEARTS. Perhaps the largest of all gladiolus and yet not the least bit coarse. The flower stalks are not 
thick, but are strong and wiry, adding to the grace of this fine new variety. Blooms are of heavy substance, and 
perfectly placed with eight open. The color is a light coral red with light carmine line in throat. 
JUNE BRIDE. Stately and beautiful, this well named gladiolus reminds one of a queenly bride. A color combi- 
nation that is very appealing. Clear light yellow with soft red blotch on lower petals. 
HELEN OF TROY. A mammoth gladiolus in very pleasing blend of apricot and pink. Tall and stately, long 
flower spike; big wide-open blooms of heavy substa erfectly placed. Color soft light apricot with a smoky 
blotch of brown. Florets from 7 to 8 inches in diamete as champion spike of Oregon show 1940 and at eastern 
New York show was division champion. : F ence 
SIR GALAHAD. A study in contrast, for the purity of its soft creamy yellow is enhanced by its diamond shaped 
blotch of rich crimson. Large blooms are perfectly placed and of heavy substance. 
GRAND OPERA. ‘Definitely one of the most sensational gladiolus ever offered, for it not only sets a new standard 
for size, but has beautiful form, as well as an appealing color. This was the largest in our field the past year, more 
than six feet tall, ten blooms open, bottom floret 8% inches and next floret 8 inches. Color is between LaFrance and 
geranium pink, soft, but very clear in tone. 
BADGER BEAUTY (KRUEGER 1941). Many a lavender colored glad has had its advent since Coleman intro- 
duced his variety, Minuet. Those who try Badger Beauty will find a glad of identical color both in sheen and tone, 
but more beautiful because of its pure white throat and more informal placement. Growing in the field it has 
never exhibited a crooked spike, nor has its color been marred by flecking. Mature bulbs produce spikes of a 20 
inch flower heads, that carry 18 buds, of which six 5-inch flowers open in the field. Badger Beauty has never been 
put in competition, but it received more than usual attention at the 1940 Wisconsin show. I am sure it will become 
popular both as an exhibition and commercial variety. Price per bulb, large $4.00, medium $3.00, small $2.00 
GEM (KRUEGER 1940). This pure pink gem with its friendly and pert appearance is an outstanding introduc- 
tion. A tall medium decorative and an excellent propagator. Price per six, large $1.50; medium $1.00; small 50c.
