Wisconsin. From E. A. Lins, Spring | 
Green Post, American Legion Trial 
Grounds: “American Commander 
gave us fine performance again this 
year. I saw the Champion spike of 
American Commander at the West 
Virginia Show and it was a marvel.” 
Ohio. “Several people saw the 
spikes produced from No. 6 bulbs of 
American Commander which we got 
from you last spring, and were sur- 
prised to know that such spikes came 
from such small bulbs. Next year 
these bulbs should really go to town.” 
New Jersey. “I must get some more 
of your American Commander. When 
people see it they simply go for it. 
Kentucky. “The American Commander 
you sent me stood up under very adverse 
conditions, yet its performance was excep- 
tional. Without a doubt American Com- 
mander has real vigor and stamina and in 
every way proved the most outstanding 
red variety in the garden. I might add 
that [I grew more than 25 red varieties. 
Also the variety proved exceptionally uni- 
form in behavior.” 
California. ‘“‘We liked our American 
Commander very much. It is an unusually 
large and taal gladiolus, which is very 
much in its favor, and the color is good, 
making it very outstanding in the garden. 
It grew better than any other new variety 
that we put in last year.” 
Illinois. “Your American Commander 
has quality. Shows real merit and should 
become very popular.”
