BLACK OPAL (New, Australian)—After hav- 
ing grown this variety for several years, 
we are inclined to place Black Opal at 
the top of the list of the dark reds. Not 
quite as dark as Moorish King or Ara- 
bella, but a very rich dark red, that pro- 
duces fine long spikes of large well placed 
blooms. A splendid grower and a good 
increaser—in fact, has all the good qual- 
ities that go to make a high class gladi- 
olus. Award of Merit, British Gladiolus 
Society. Mid-season.

BLUE PEACOCK (Salbach)—An outstanding

laid with cream, which resembles a pea- 
cock eye. Five of 18 florets open at once. 
Excelled by the newer blues only in that 
the latter are larger. Mid-season.

CANDY HEART 
CANDY HEART (Salbach 1938) — Huge in 
size, striking in color, and excellent of 
form, this outstanding new creation 
opens up a new field in mammoth gladi- 
olus. Bred from Picardy and Grand 
Opera, Candy Heart inherits great size 
from the latter; good habit and beautiful 
color from both parents; increases rapid- 
ly, a la Picardy. The huge blooms are 
consistently 6 or more inches across, 
plants vigorous and tall, placement per- 
fect. The color is soft clear flesh pink, 
somewhat pinker than Picardy, with a 
large blotch of light carmine—most dis- 
tinctive and appealing. Five to six of 17 
or 18 florets open at once. Very attractive 
in the garden and elegant as a cut-flower. 
Awarded first as best seedling, East Bay 
Gladiolus Society Show, 1937. From re- 
port of Canadian Trial Gardens, ‘They 
all liked the fine light color and giant 
florets.” From an Ohio customer, “Your 
Candy Heart is as beautiful a thing as I 
ever had.”

CARIOCA (Bones-Salbach 1936)—Very tall 
burnt orange. Six to nine open blooms 
and a total of 21 buds to the spike. The 
same long, tall, straight spike, and vigor- 
ous growth that have helped make Betty 
Nuthall so popular. These factors com- 
bined with the fact that it has heavy 
leathery substance, make this a very de- 
sirable variety. Early.
