HEBERLING’S GLADIOLUS 
Enormous Spike and Florets 
October 7, 1940 
Sirs: 
Just a line with regard to the bulbs of Master Myron you 
sent last spring. It is a wonderful red Glad. I am enclosing a few 
pictures I took of the first spike that opened. You will note the 
enormous size of the spike compared with the other varieties 
of Glads. I cut this spike when the fourth floret was open and 
the next day there were five open when I took the pictures 
marked X on back. The spike measured 4 ft. 41% in. tall with 
sixteen florets, and opened up fifteen perfect florets in water. 
The two lower florets measured six inches across, all florets 
perfectly placed. A swell Glad if you should ask me. I hope I 
will have a good crop of bulblets when I dig the bulbs. 
Sincerely, 
LOUIS T. SLAYMAKER

Rich Textured Scarlet 
September 19, 1940 
Sirs: 
The Master Myron has blossomed and it 
is certainly very fine. The color is a rich, nice 
textured, scarlet; the spike is long with 
plenty of buds and we were very much 
pleased with it and probably will keep it to 
list in our winter catalogue as the newer 
things we do not intend to list particularly in 
our fall list as we give no descriptions with it. 
You must have received many favorable 
reports on your Master Myron and I am sure 
it warrants them. 
Sincerely yours,

Master Myron Going Places 
October 9, 1940 
Sirs: 
Your list reminded me that I had intended 
to report on the bulbs of MASTER MYRON 
you so kindly sent for trial last Spring. 
The spikes were very impressive, the color 
was good, and the variety lived up to your 
description in all particulars. You have a 
very fine variety there and I am sure it will 
go places. 
Sincerely yours, 
MARSHALL O.SHEPARDSON
