PEGGY LOU The greatest gladiolus introduced 
since Picardy. It came from the same parents as that 
wonderful variety. Color is a deep shrimp pink with 
a slight rosy cast and with a touch of deeper rose in 
the throat. Very tall with large blooms. There is not 
space enough to go into all of its merits. It has won 
prizes all over the country. A must have if there ever 
was one. A wonderful variety that you just should 
not do without. 
PHYLLIS McQUISTON (80-90) Shrimp pink shad- 
ing lighter in the throat. Plant is tall with five or 
more beautiful blooms open at once. One of the very 
best varieties in my fields this past year. Some grow- 
ers claim that it’s health is not of the best but no 
variety that I had this past year showed any stronger 
or healthier plants than this one, there was not a 
sick looking one in the whole lot. 
PYTHIA Deep red. Supposed to be tall with many 
open. I only planted small bulbs of this variety and 
it did not look as good as I expected it would from 
other grower’s discription but of course it will do 
some better from larger bulbs. Some varieties do well 
from small bulbs while others do not show up so good 
but look wonderful from No. 1 or 2 bulbs. 
REVERIE Light peaches and cream. 6 - 8 medium 
large blooms open, ruffled and well placed. A really 
beautiful variety but inclined to fade a little as the 
blooms open. 
REQUEL Buff cream with markings. A tall vigorous 
large flowered plant. Placement not always of the 
best, but wonderful for cut flowers in the home. 
RODERICK DHU Huge rare pink with darker 
blotch. Somewhat ruffled. A beautiful variety but 
texture is soft. 
SALBACH’S ORCHID A beautiful lavender pink. 
Not a new variety but well worth while. Did very well 
for me from small bulbs. 
SOLITA A fine light orange. I liked this variety 
better than any orange I have seen. Blooms are not 
so large but several open at once. Spike is tall and 
slender. A graceful and distinctive variety. 
SOLVEIG Heavily ruffled white with small cerice 
blotch. Several large blooms open at once. 
TAKINA Giant purple, tall with several large well 
placed blooms open at once. 
TREVONIAN Tall extra large flowered rose red 
with many blooms open at once. Was not as tall for 
me this year as I thought it should be but probably 
that was due to the weather. 
Our “glads” were the envy of our neigh- 
bors. The bulbs arrived in perfect condition. 
Thanking you, I am
