DECORATIVE OR INFORMAL TYPES 
Last year we constructed one of the most modern bulb storage buildings in 
Michigan. It is not as large as some of them, but we are justly proud of it and 
its many features designed to furnish us with the ideal storage conditions. We 
have already outgrown it and 1941 carries a program which will provide us 
with at least quadruple our present storage space. Into this new building will 
go added features not already incorporated in the present storage. 

The Decorative Type to our way of thinking should be just what the name implies, and 
should not be determined by size only. The truly decorative shall lend itself to decorative 
purposes and arrangements. Of course, the larger of this class are hard to combine in 
arrangements, but the medium and small ones are ideal for this purpose. The Decorative 
Type should have purity of color, charm, pleasing and harmonious arrangement of florets, 
and other attributes that accentuate the decorative qualities of the entire spike ensemble. 
With this in mind, with the florets distinctly staggered up the spike, let’s divide this 
class into sizes—Large 5” and larger; Medium, 3”-5”; Small, less than 3” in diameter. 
This again combines size with type. 
LARGE DECORATIVE 
DUNA—See Chapter V. 
FESTIVAL QUEEN— (Salbach) 1934 (Magna Blanca x ?). A truly huge geranium pink. 
The immense blooms which are fully 5/2” across are colored a live geranium pink

12-13 additional buds, consistently placed and correctly faced. kL., 15c ea., 10,

IRAK— (Mitsch) 1937 (Sport of Bagdad). One of the grayest flowers we have seen. 
Just a hint of dark lavender. The throat is ivory with lavender pencil. Clean 
lustrous color and being a sport of Bagdad, it has the other features we want. L., 
2, 16c, 10, 60c; M., 2, 10c, 10, 40c; S., 4, 12c, 10, 20c; Blts., 100, 20c. 
KING OF HEARTS— (Saalbach) 1939 (Picardy x Grand Opera). A patented gladiolus. 
Pale vermillion, deepening at outer edges. Soft carmine feathering in throat. 
Opens 6-8 very large blooms of beautiful form and texture on a tall graceful spike. 
This is a real beauty or else | don’t know my gladiolus. b., $1.00 ea., 3, $2.00; 
M.,50c ea., 3, $1.00. 
PFITZER’S TRIUMPH— (Pfitzer) 1925. Velvety salmon-scarlet with ruby throat. It 
will crook some and burn if you plant it early where you have the extremely hot 
summers. Plant it late if you live in the hot belt and you will have much better 
results. It sure is a startling one when it comes right. L., 2, 12c, 10, 50c; M.,
