1941 GLADIOLUS INTRODUCTIONS 
This year we have a number of very attractive new seedlings, but our stock of them is very small and 
we are therefore only offering two new varieties, that we feel will rank with our previous introductions. 

GOLDEN GODDESS 
First Patented Gladiolus 
Tops in Yellow Class 
GOLDEN QUEEN (Salbach 1941)— Yellow 
seedling x Orange seedling. A very dis- 
tinct and attractive golden orange, shad- 
ing to apricot yellow in throat, also on 
two lower petals. Blooms are of medium 
size and of heavy substance. Plants are 
from 4 to 414 ft. high with long graceful 
flower spikes that are always straight. 
As many as eight to ten well expanded, 
perfectly placed blooms open at once. 
Buds open to the very tip when cut, and 
color does not fade. Produces big plump 
bulbs. Golden Queen is a definite ad- 
vance in the orange class. Midseason. 
Large bulbs only, each, $5.00. 
1940 GLADIOLUS 
CALIFORNIA ROSE (No. 1 1/58)—Picardy x 
Grand Opera. A large deep rose pink 
self, slightly ruffled. Very tall with long 
flower spike. Eight perfectly placed 
blooms open at one time. Champion 
spike at East Bay Gladiolus Show at 
‘Treasure Island in 1939. Destined to be- 
come a splendid cut flower. Large, each, 
50c; 3 for $1.00. Medium, each, 25¢; 3 
for 50c¢. Small, each, 10¢; 3 for 25¢. Bulb- 
lets, 10 for 50c. 
OREGON RED (R. H. Pruitt & Son-Salbach 
1940)—An immense bright scarlet red of 
fine form and excellent growing habit. 
‘The first time Oregon Red was exhibited 
at the Grants Pass, Oregon Show it cre- 
ated a sensation and was given first prize 
as the best new variety exhibited. The 
second year it was again pronounced the 
best variety in the show. Oregon Red 
blooms rather early and was not in bloom 
for the 1940 show. We grew several bulbs 
in our exhibition garden, where it was 
fully as good as we had seen it in Oregon. 
One of the finest reds. No small bulbs or 
bulblets this season. Large, each, $5.00; 
Medium, $3.00. 
OREGON STATE (Ben Bones-Salbach 1940) 
—A seedling from Picardy that has a defi- 
nite place in the cut flower world. Plants 
are tall with long flower spike. Large 
blooms well placed. Stems do not crook 
and blooms do not fade in hot weather. 
The color is a warm salmon with cream 
throat. First prize at 1939 Grant Pass, 
Oregon Show as best salmon pink. Large, 
each, 25¢; dozen, $2.50. 
No. 400 1/8—A brilliant scarlet red of good 
size and splendid substance. A tall grower, 
producing long flower spikes, four blooms 
open at once. If this variety had six to 
eight blooms open.at once it would be 
one of the finest of all reds. Large, each, 
50c; 3 for $1.00. Medium, each, 25¢; 3 for 
50c; Small, each, 10¢; 3 for 25¢. Bulblets, 
10 for 50c. 
SANTA ROSA (Salbach 1941)—Picardy x 
Grand Opera x Orange Seedling. A beau- 
tifully ruffled gladiolus of medium size, 
in a bright strawberry pink, shading to 
somewhat lighter color down in the 
flower. The two lower petals are a rich 
salmon orange with a soft coral red 
blotch. Blooms are of very heavy sub- 
stance, with many open at one time. A 
vigorous grower and a rapid increaser. If 
the blooms were as large as some of the 
new giants such as Helen of Troy and 
King of Hearts, Santa Rosa would com- 
mand a much higher introductory price. 
No small bulbs or bulblets for sale. 
Large, each, $3.00; Medium, $2.00. 
INTRODUCTIONS 
QUEEN MARILYNN (D. S. Pruitt-Salbach 
1940) —Here is a new gladiolus that is al- 
most made to order for those who prefer 
dainty colors. A clear light shell pink 
with soft cream throat. Flowers of good 
size, perfectly poised on a long graceful 
stem. In the garden the blooms remind 
one of a flock of beautiful butterflies. 
Large, each, 50¢; 3 for $1.10. Medium, 
each, 35¢; 3 for 90¢. Small, each, 15¢; 3 
for 45c; 10 for $1.50. Bulblets, 10 for 80¢; 
100 for $4.00. 
RED LIGHTNING (R. H. Pruitt & Son-Sal- 
bach 1940)—A bright, yet pleasing red 
with cream blotch in throat. The stamens 
are also cream, producing a very striking 
color combination. Blooms are of heavy 
substance and all face one way. Plants 
are of medium height. Very stunning in 
a bouquet. Large, each, $2.50. Medium, 
each, $1.50. Small, each, 75¢. Bulblets, 
5 for 50c; 100 for $8.00. 
RUFFLED PRINCESS (D. S. Pruitt-Salbach 
1940)—Another splendid new ruffled va- 
riety from Oregon. The color is a warm 
deep La France pink, somewhat like 
New Era, but the blooms are larger, and 
of a very heavy substance, and beauti- 
fully ruffled. If this variety had a little 
longer flower spike, it would be truly 
sensational. Large, each, $1.00; 3 for 
$2.25. Medium, each, 50c; 3 for $1.05. 
Small, each, 25¢; 3 for 60c. Bulblets, 10 
for 90c; 100 for $5.00. 
No. 13 1/6 (Picardy x Appleblossom Seed- 
ling) —The colors of this unusual gladi- 
olus are suggestive of the colors in the 
old peppermint candy stick and we 
would have named it “Peppermint 
Candy,” but the name was not available. 
Blooms are large, white in color and are 
edged and tinted rose pink, with blotch 
of same color in throat. Elegant for bou- 
quets or corsages. Large, each, 50¢; 3 for 
$1.00. Medium, each, 25¢; 3 for 50c. 
Small, each, 10¢; 3 for 25¢. Bulblets, 10 
for 50c.
