MRS. E. J. HEATON (Heaton) Huge glowing salmon with creamy throat. A fine 
cut flower variety, withstanding excess heat and other adverse conditions in fine 
shape. Tall, large flowered, and outstanding. 
MRS. F. C. PETERS (Fischer) Fine late lavender with a rosy blotch. A good cut 
flower that opens well in cool fall weather. Tall and vigorous. 
MRS. S. A. ERREY (Errey) Tall brilliant orange, blotched darker. An extremely 
showy variety, and very attractive, but is not always a healthy grower. 
MR. WM. CUTHBERTSON (Mair) Very heavily ruffled white with a border of 
cherry rose. Lovely and unusual, a novelty. 
ORANGE WONDER (Kemp) Deep orange self. Very fine color and a tall vigorous 
plant, but is inclined to make some rather short heads. Very late. 
PARADISE (Pruitt) Clear apricot buff, shading to yellow in the throat. A vigor- 
ous grower making fine tall spikes of large flowers. Blooms fairly early. 
PELEGRINA (Pfitzer) Dark pansy blue with lower petals somewhat darker. Fairly 
tall and holds a number of good sized florets open at one time, but stem is not 
always stiff enough to qualify as a first class commercial. Very popular, never- 
theless, and probably the best in its very deep color. Early. 
PHYLLIS MCQUISTON (Stewart) We consider this the very best true pink avail- 
able at popular prices. Color is pure pink with white throat, a perfect commer- 
cial color, and already grown by the millions. The plants are healthy, spikes are 
tall, florets are large and open well. We recommend it most highly. Blooms 
late. 
PICARDY (Palmer) World’s most popular gladiolus. Huge melting salmon pink 
with lighter throat. It probably owes its tremendous commercial popularity 
largely to its ability to withstand shipment from distant Southern points in good 
condition. Undoubtedly one of the very best. Everyone should have it. 
POLAR ICE (Pfitzer) Very early dead white. This variety makes a rather rough 
looking bulb, but is the first large flowered white to bloom and one of the most 
profitable varieties to grow for cutting. Spikes are tall and straight with large 
florets of pure white. 
PRIMROSE PRINCESS (Salbach) Excellent canary or medium toned yellow. A very 
healthy grower, tall, large flowered, and vigorous. We have found it to be the 
best in this color for commercial use. Blooms fairly late. 
QUEEN HELEN II (Salbach) Light grenadine pink with a prominent cream throat. 
The vigorous plant and tall straight spike is much like that of Betty Nuthall, but 
the florets are larger and open wide. A good cut flower variety, blooming very 
late. 
QUEEN OF BREMEN (Zimmer) Very lovely lavender pink. Florets are not !arge, 
but the graceful, willowy spikes are tall, and a bouquet of several spikes with a 
multitude of the delicately colored florets open is a beautiful sight indeed. 
Excellently suited to florist’s use and for table arrangements. Blooms early. 
RAPTURE (Palmer) Medium toned salmon with a yellow throat blotch. Color is a 
little deeper than that of Picardy, growth is strong and vigorous, and the spikes 
are immense. A popular late blooming commercial. 
RECOVERY (Blake) A rather unusual color combination of salmon, light red, and 
rose. General effect is a pleasing light red, entirely different from any other 
variety we have grown. The spikes are tall and straight, florets are large, and 
it seems to be a good healthy grower. A good cut flower variety.
