SYLVIA (Kinyon — 1941 — Decorative Salmon Pink) Here is a new Gladiolus variety 
that has grace, perfection and ability to spare. The exact placement of the ten 
or twelve open florets, combined with sheer beauty of color, all produced on a harmonious 
spike, gives Sylvia assurance of a great future. The picture on Page 7 of two field-grown 
blooms of Sylvia will describe it better than mere words. Its true color and tones are 
bright pink, blending to a cream-yellow throat. 

WENONAH (Kinyon — 1940 — Exhibition Orange Salmon) Only one year from intro- 
duction, Wenonah has won its place as a top-notch Gladiolus by all who 
have seen or grown it. Wenonah, as a seedling, won many awards: American Home 
Achievement, Michigan Horticultural Society and Michigan Gladiolus Society medals, 
also the First Class Certificate. Its ability to open 14 Exhibition size blooms on an always 
straight stem, contributed greatly to its success. See picture on opposite page. 

WHITE SPIRE  (Kinyon — 1938 — Exhibition White) This Gladiolus has great vigor 
and ability to produce one of the best and largest pure whites known. 
The extra large, white blooms produced on such a giant plant make it a veritable spire 
of white. The petal substance is chamois-like in texture, giving White Spire no peer for 
lasting or shipping ability. 

REFLECTION (Kinyon — 1939 — Exhibition Lavender) If one were to ask which variety 
was the most beautiful in my garden this past year or the year before 
that, I would say REFLECTION. There is no more pleasing shade of lavender, or a variety 
in this color class that has Reflection’s ability to produce prize-winning blooms. Reflection 
opens 6 to 8 five-inch florets on a five-foot spike and is a real thrill to grow.* 

IOSCO  (Kinyon — 1938 — Exhibition Yellow-Buff) The tallest growing variety in my 
garden and one you should not pass up. Its six large florets are widely placed 
on the extra long spike head, giving a long ribbon of color. The yellow-buff color of losco 
is very attractive and lends itself to indoor decoration. Several of our good customers have 
confirmed our statement that Iosco is the tallest Gladiolus in the garden. 

OTHER KINYON ORIGINATIONS We must bring to your attention some of the 
other Kinyon originations you have already 
read about, or soon will. Varieties such as the ruffled pure white EMBLEM OF PURITY: 
the beautiful American Beauty Rose, ROSE OF MICHIGAN; the massive tyrian purple, 
TYRIAN PRINCESS; the giant OGEMAW; the early and beautiful SO-Big; and lovely 
NANCY ANN all should find a place in your garden. The quality, beauty and great 
ability to open large numbers of blooms warrants the respect of everyone for the Kinyon 
originations.
