tion. Described by Ridgway as rhoda- 
mine purple. Strong, wiry stems. Five to

LA FIESTA (Salbach)—This very outstand- 
ing gladiolus is in a color class all by it- 
self. It is a clear bright orange that does 
not fade. The color reproduction does 
not give the brilliance that this flower 
possesses. The plants are tall with long 
wiry flower spikes. Six to seven blooms of 
good size open at one time. We have 
many reports of the fine performance of 
this fine gladiolus. Here is one from 
North Dakota: “La Fiesta is to my mind 
the most striking glad I have ever seen.” 
Another from a N. J. grower: “The color 
of La Fiesta sells it on sight.” Awarded 
many prizes. Award of Merit, British 
Glad. Society. Mid-season.

MAMMOTH WHITE — Immense pure ala- 
baster white. Clear color, perfect place- 
ment, with many open. A striking spike 
capable of defeating any of the older 
whites in exhibition display. Whiter than 
most other whites, lac king only in that it 
does not have the substance to withstand 
extreme heat. A fine florist variety.

MARGUERITE (Pommert 1939)—We are very 
happy to list this fine new variety coming 
from the Northwest, and being Mr. Pom- 
mert’s first introduction. Tall growing, 
clear watermelon pink with cream throat. 
Very large blooms, somewhat ruffled. 
Long straight flower spike with 6 to 8 
open blooms. Won first prize Washing- 
ton State Show—best vase 1937, also 1938 
—Sweepstakes spike, also best basket— 
and grand champion spike in 1939. We 
grew Marguerite in our test bed, and saw 
blooms exhibited at the San Francisco 
Fair—and it is our belief, that when it 
becomes better distributed, it will be very 
popular. Large, each, $1.00; 3 for $2.75.

each, 50¢; 3 for $1.25. Bulblets, 2 for 25¢;

vigorous grower.

MAUNGA—An Australian variety that is 
quite popular in America. One of the 
largest and purest of the whites. Tall 
vigorous grower, with a long flower spike. 
If this variety always produced spikes 
with perfectly placed florets it would be 
the peer of all the whites. The matter of 
placement of florets is of more concern 
to those who exhibit at the shows than it 
is to the home gardener. Mid-season.
