RISING SUN (Salbach 1936) — A seedling 
from Pfitzer’s Triumph and Mrs. S. A. 
Errey with the best qualities of both 
parents. Flowers the size of Pfitzer’s Tri- 
umph, with the bright flame orange of 
Mrs. Errey, but the color clarity of the 
former. ‘The most flaming color of any 
gladiolus we know. ‘Time and time again 
our visitors have picked it first among all 
other gladiolus in our demonstration dis- 
plays. Six of eighteen buds open at once. 
Should be cut when the third floret starts 
to open. Mid-season.

SALBACH’S ORCHID (Salbach)—Colored the 
same lavender pink as a Cattleya orchid. 
Similar in form to Minuet, but pinker, 
and retains its color under artificial light. 
Large, wide-open blooms of heavy sub- 
stance and fine placement. As many as 10 
blooms open at once, and one of the few 
flowers that will stand the hottest sun 
without fading or wilting. A. M., R. H. 
S., 1936. Splendid cut flower. Early.

SALBACH’S PINK (Salbach) — One of the 
most thrip resistant of all gladiolus. The 
University of California second year test 
showed Salbach’s Pink most resistant of 
all they grew. Wide open clear geranium 
pink, with soft carmine throat markings. 
Long graceful flower spike, with 8 to 10 
open at once. Fine placement and heavy 
substance. Opens to the tip buds when 
cut. Late.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE — No gladiolus is more 
beautiful than a good spike of Shirley 
‘Temple—for it has the softest, yet richest 
color (deep cream, yet no hint of yellow), 
it is heavily ruffled, and is so large that it 
borders on the mammoth class. Place- 
ment not always perfect, and the spikes 
sometimes crook when grown in unusual 
heat—otherwise the growth and habit is 
top-notch in every respect. Despite its 
_ occasional faults, Shirley Temple re- 
mains supreme in its color class. Early 
mid-season.

SENSATION (Marshall)—Well named for it 
is truly sensational. We grew this variety 
the past season, and it reminded us much 
of our own variety, California—except 
that it was different in color. The florets 
are very large and of heavy substance, are 
well expanded and somewhat ruffled. 
The color is a clear soft rose, shading to 
lighter throat. Six to eight of the 17 buds 
open at one time. A vigorous grower, and 
good increaser. Straight stems, long spike. 
Large, each, $1.00. Medium, each, 75e. 
Small, each, 50c. Bulblets, 5 for 50c; 12 
for $1.00.

SNOWPRINCESS — Goodbye Maid of Or- 
leans! For Snowprincess has the same 
color, but is clearer, and has the same fine 
habit, size, etc., of Maid of Orleans in 
every respect—except that Snowprincess 
is much taller, standing 5 feet. Placing 
and facing is perfect, 6 large florets open 
at once on long flower head. Color, clear 
white with milky throat. Should replace 
most of the whites as a cut flower. Mid- 
season.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM—A fine white that 
has become very popular. Many well ex- 
panded blooms of good substance open 
at one time. Spikes are always straight. 
Blooms perfectly placed. Five feet tall, 
and unquestionably the best white on 
the present cut-flower market.

TIMBUCTOO — An outstanding new large 
gladiolus in a different tone of red—dark 
red bordering on rose-red. ‘Throat some- 
what darker. Six to eight of 18 large 
florets open at once, with habit and 
growth fine in every way. Excellent for 
forcing. Large, each, 40¢; 3 for 90c. Me- 
dium, each, 25¢; 3 for 60c. Small, each,

TIP TOP—An immense wide-open red which 
would undoubtedly have gained wide re- 
nown earlier in its career except for the 
fact it is a rather slow propagator. Gen- 
erally recognized as the best red in com- 
merce, certainly the best at anywhere 
near its price range. Six to eight of 18 to 
19 buds open at once. Florets very large, 
and habit ideal. Very tall. Mid-season.

VAGABOND PRINCE—A very rich iridescent 
garnet brown with a glowing scarlet 
blotch. Eight or more well placed florets 
open at once. Probably the richest in 
tone of all gladiolus, certainly the richest 
of the smokies—opens up well when cut.

VALERIE—Another fine new Pruitt intro- 
duction in a soft scarlet, almost salmon- 
scarlet—a totally distinct color, and one 
much desired. The combination of vivid- 
ness, yet softness of color (half-way be- 
tween John S. Bach and Dr. Bennett in 
tone) more than offsets its one fault, 
which is a tendency of the florets to 
crowd. Many open on good spike.

VREDENBURG—A very vigorous new Pfitzer 
white that should be of great value, par- 
ticularly because it is very early. Pure 
white, comparable to Mammoth White 
as follows: Better, in that it has very 
heavy substance, and of great use as a 
florist variety because it is so very early. 
But not as good in that the spikes are 
not quite as long and tall. Outstanding 
in every other respect, such as size, place- 
ment, etc.

ment and all-around good habit. Nine to 
twelve of 18 to 20 buds open at once. A 
combination of salmon and slate, florets 
being of good size, and delicately ruffled.
