GRAND SLAM (Salbach) Bright salmon orange. Tall, brilliant, and showy, it per- 
forms best from large bulbs. 
HELGA (Kunderd) A bright shade of salmon rose. Large flowered, healthy, and 
an early bloomer. 
HELMSDALE (Errey) Scarlet, very lightly overlaid crimson and grey. An attrac- 
tive and unusual color combined with a tall and healthy plant. 
KASSEL (Pfitzer) Brilliant scarlet self. Florets are inclined to be loosely attached 
to the spike, but the color is wonderful and the spike is tall and well formed. 
KING ARTHUR (Arenius) Absolutely unique lavender mauve. Florets are im- 
mense and are very heavily ruffled. An entirely different variety that should be 
in every collection. Very beautiful. 
LADY MARIE (Zimmer) — Early light salmon cut flower. Sometimes called an early 
Picardy, but lacks the size and color value of that excellent variety. 
LIBELLE (Pfitzer) A particularly appealing shade of clear light blue with a slight 
violet feather in the throat. Large florets, medium height, and very early. An 
excellent commercial variety. 
LIGHTS OF GOLD (Hornberger) A very unusual color combination. Bright pink 
with very large bright yellow throat, each floret heavily ruffled. Very early. 
LUCIFER (Errey) Bright orange with a large crimson blotch. The tall spike holds 
many open and is certainly showy and striking. An excellent exhibition variety. 
MAID OF ORLEANS (Pfitzer) Unquestionably the best all purpose white and cer- 
tainly the most popular. Tall, large flowered, and satisfactory in every way, it 
fully deserves its immense popularity. Fairly early. 
MARGARET FULTON (Ogrodnichek) One of the very best commercial gladiolus 
ever introduced. Color is a perfectly clear coral pink or rosy salmon, with no 
markings, and is excellently suited to florists’ use. Spikes are uniformly tall and 
straight, and the rather round florets open well after cutting. This variety is 
well suited to long distance shipment and grows well in the South. An early 
bloomer. 
MIBLOOM (Kunderd) Extremely early pale blush pink with an attractive ruddy 
blotch. A good spike of delicately colored florets which usually carry a well de- 
fined odor in the evening and early morning. 
MINUET (Coleman) The measuring stick by which all lavenders are judged. Sev- 
eral of the newer varieties look promising but Minuet still holds its own in exhi- 
bition and is unchallenged in the commercial field. Light lavender with some 
pink tones, no markings. 
MISS BLOOMINGTON (Kunderd) Pure toned medium yellow. Blooms fairly early 
and has become very popular. Spikes are of good size, a good commercial. 
MISS HARRIET (Carpenter) Bright chrome orange with yellow throat. A good 
grower, and valuable for cutting as it blooms early. 
MOROCCO (Pfitzer) Very dark red, buds look black. Makes a good sized spike 
and is an attractive novelty. 
MOTHER MACHREE (Stevens) Beautiful golden smoky or blend of ‘sunset colors.’ 
A combination that is difficult to describe. This makes a fine large spike and is 
very showy. Many people consider it the best smoky at popular prices. Quite 
late blooming.
