ANGELICA (Fischer). Another pink and white but in a small flower this time. Very 
heavy textured but a dainty flower. L. 30c each; M. 20c each; S. 10c each; Bits. 
10 for 20c. 
ARETHUSA (Fischer). Heavily ruffled buffy apricot with greenish undertone when 
first opening. Quite a distinct novelty. Good propagator. L. 30c each; M. 20c each; 
S. 10c each; Blts. 10 for 15c. 
ARIADNE (Mitsch-Baerman). One of the most striking blotched varieties. Creamy 
white with large red blotches and sometimes red shadings on the upper petals. 
Not so beautiful and refined as Margaret Beaton but one of the most consistent 
performers of the blotched varieties. Tall spikes with five or six florets open. 
Makes lots of bulblets which are a little slow to germinate. Wins frequently at 
shows and won an Award of Merit from the British Gladiolus Society, 1939. L. 15¢ 
each; M. 10c each; S. 2 for 15c; Bits. 10 for 10c. 
ARDENT (Mitsch). One of my last year’s introductions. This is not as large a red 
as some we have but is of fair size and possesses a very brilliant but not harsh 
color. Facing of the florets runs better than in some of the popular reds. Good 
tall spikes with about five florets open. L. 50c each; M. 35c each; S. 20c each; 
Bits. 10 for 50c. 
ATLAS (Pfitzer). Tall deep violet with red throat. Seems to be quite an improve- 
ment on the older Aida. Has not been a very fast propagator with me. L. 75c 
each; M. 50c each; S. 30c each; Bits. 10 for 60c. 
AVALON (Marshall). Pink with cream throat. Opens a good number of good sized 
blooms. This probably will become a very popular variety. L. $2.00 each; M. 
$1.50 each; S. $1.00 each; Bits. 40c each. 
BARCARCLE (Palmer). Ruffled rich orange of good size and not showing much of 
the primulinus character as is so evident in most orange Glads. Probably the most 
beautiful of all orange Glads. Fair propagator. L. 50c each; M. 30c each; S. 20c 
each, | eits..10 for 25c, 
BEACON (Palmer). Red salmon with large cream throat blotches. One of the finest 
of the Palmer varieties. Strong grower with tall spikes having five to seven well 
faced florets open. Good propagator. Popular cut flower. L. 10 for 60c; M. 10 
for 40c; S. 10 for 20c; Blts. 100 for 40c. 
BEAUTIFUL OHIO (Hullibarger). Deep lavender rose commercial. A good commer- 
cial color but bulblets of this variety seem hard to germinate. L. 15c each; M. 10c 
CaCO s10Lioc,. Bits; 10 for 10c. 
BELLEVUE (Nitchman). A new commercial creamy white of the type of Maid of 
Orleans but this apparently has longer more wiry spikes. Looked good with one 
season’s trial. L. $1.00 each; M. 70c each; Bits. 10c each. 
BIT O’HEAVEN (Crow). A very pretty orange variety. Flowers do not open widely 
but it has a good number open making it one of the finest commercial sorts. 
Florists like this very much. Fine propagator. L. 10 for 60c; M. 10 for 40c; 
Bits. 100 for 15c. 
BLUE BEAUTY (Pfitzer). One of the most vigorous and largest flowering of the 
blue varieties. Five or six florets open on very tall spikes. Not as clear in color 
as some of the other blues but a good flower anyway. Good propagator. L. 10 
for 60c; M. 10 for 40c; S. 10 for 25c; Bits. 100 for 30c. 
BLUET (Mitsch). Here is a blue distinct in color from any other variety I have seen. 
The ground color is a rich violet blue which is set off by white throat blotches. 
Tall straight spikes with five to seven well placed florets open. A few do not care 
for this combination of color but personally I like white in the throat better than 
other colors. Makes lots of bulblets which are rather slow to germinate. Bulbs 
usually are not so very large. Received a Card of Commendation from the British 
Gladiolus Society, 1939. L. 50c each; M. 35c each; S. 20c each; Bits. 10 for 40c. 
CAMELLIA (Palmer). Tall blush white with small scarlet feather. About five or six 
florets open on a good spike. Florists like this very much. Very rapid propagator. 
L. 10 for 80c; M. 10 for 50c; S. 10 for 25c; Bits. 100 for 20c. 
CAPEHEART (Winsor). Large light salmon rose with small rose feather in the throat. 
One of the finest new ones in my estimation. Large wide open flowers. L. 80c 
each; M. 50c each; S. 25c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
CARILLON (Palmer). Another beautiful Glad. This one is of a lovely shade of 
medium light pink with white throat and petals are nicely ruffled. Flowers are 
well arranged on good spikes. L. 50c each; M. 30c each; S. 20c each; Bits. 10 for 20c. 
CAROLINE WERNER GANNETT (Chamberlin). A striking new one with huge spikes 
of deep salmon flowers. Reminds one a little of Miss New Zealand on one season’s 
acquaintance but is deeper in color and has stronger spikes. L. $30.00 each; M-. 
$20.00 each; S. $10.00 each; Bits. $2.00 each.
