MAYA MAID (Salbach 1936)—The most dis- 
tinct and striking novelty since Rose Ash 
and Mother Machree—a real russet brown 
gladiolus. Completely distinct from any 
other gladiolus. A sturdy grower that 
often blooms from bulblets. Blooms me- 
dium size, wide open, 7 or 8 florets open 
at once, with a total of 19 to 20 blooms 
and buds. Good placement. Coloring 
best described as the color of the brown- 
est autumn leaves—definitely brown, but 
in the rich reddish shades of that color. 
The throat, which is of cream, heavily 
feathered reddish brown, blends perfect- 
ly with the predominating color of the 
flower.

MISS AMERICA (Salbach 1938)—There are 
few varieties that produce so many per- 
fect spikes as Miss America. For one of 
the shows, we were able to display 25 
perfect spikes out of a total planting of 
50 bulbs—in fact, we cut about all that 
were in bloom. Few varieties will stand 
hot weather as does Miss America, and 
we have never had a crooked spike. The 
. color is a delightful shade of pink, al- 
most flesh pink. Blooms are large and 
wide open. Five to six of the 18 buds 
open at one time. Tall plants, and good 
long flower spike. First prize as best din- 
ing room table bouquet, and First Award, 
New Introduction Class, East Bay Gladi- 
olus Show, 1938. An Ohio customer says, 
“The Miss America—you can count on 
every one to be a cut flower. They are the 
first to sell to the florist. Everybody that 
saw them thought they were wonderful.” 
Vigorous grower, and good increaser. 
Will be immensely popular when there is 
a better distribution of stock.

MOORISH KING—There are few gladiolus 
that attract as much attention both in the 
field and show room as Moorish King. 
No other variety has as rich a deep red 
color—a deep clear maroon self. Blooms 
are large, plants are tall, and vigorous in 
growth. If the flower spike was a bit 
longer, Moorish King would rank among 
the best 10 varieties. I'remendously pop- 
ular. We sell out of large sizes each year.
