STEWART INTRODUCTIONS 
Totem 
We have never grown a variety that produces more excellent spikes than 
this one, and the placement is never faulty. It opens perfectly from shipment, 
and easily withstands the hottest August days. The flowers are very large and 
round, with five or more of them open in perfect placement on an extra tall, 
erect spike. Truly an outstanding variety. 
The color is correct as a cut flower, a brilliant salmon scarlet. This variety 
always brings top prices, being a perfect shipper and opening well expanded 
flowers. Reports from Florida, Mississippi, and New England, assures us that 
it is the best, by far, in its color class. Here we offer a tried and true cut flower 
variety.

Margaret Stewart 
One of our most popular varieties, and a real beauty. A shimmering, rich, 
beautiful, red-red rose, a shade not to be found in any other variety. It possesses 
the very best of growing habits, consistently producing tall, straight spikes with 
five or more good sized flowers open at one time. A GRAND VARIETY FOR 
YOUR HOME GARDEN. Then, too, the florists use it freely, which indicates 
its unusual and correct shade of rose-red.

Village Queen 
This variety is making quite a name for itself. Many growers, as well as 
several local florists, have chosen it as one of the very best early commercials 
we have. An excellent cut flower, this variety is truly an asset to everyone’s 
garden. It produces tall, strong spikes of eighteen or more buds carrying easily 
five or more extra large flowers open at one time. 
It has also proven itself earliest in the greenhouse over all other varieties 
ee for that purpose. Truly a VALUABLE COMMERCIAL worthy of your 
trial.

(Illustration Opposite Page) 
This is a massive plant producing tall, heavy spikes that carry the long 
flower-head perfectly. It is not unusual to have more than twenty buds to the 
spike, and it easily holds eight or more flowers open at one time. 
The flowers are a large, bittersweet pink with occasional overlay of a slightly 
deeper tone. The small, neat pinard yellow throat adds much to the attractiveness 
of this outstanding variety. Excellent for exhibition, the “Major” has become one 
of our most popular varieties.

PINKS. It grows freely producing tall, strong spikes that are always erect. 
It carries eighteen or more buds and holds easily five open at one time. 
This variety has not arrived at its present enviable position among growers 
of gladiolus, both amateur and commercial overnight. It has by its own perform- 
ance proven itself unequalled and for this reason it will be grown for many 
years to come, and in ever greater quantities. 
“Phyllis” was our first introduction. It has been and will be a profitable 
variety to grow, so JOIN US AND GET YOUR START NOW.
