@ PRICED: 


40-301—(LOYALTY Seedling X GREEN LIGHT). The 
seed parent is a deeper greenish yellow than is GREEN 
LIGHT and holds more open. This cross should give some 
interesting greenish cream and greenish yellow seedlings. 

40-303—(BLUE WONDER X BLUE BEAUTY Seedling). 
A combination two great "blue” strains, New Zealand and 
Pfitzer. This cross will yield a high percentage of violet 
shades and should give some vigorous seedlings that wil! 
hold 6 to 10 florets open at a time. 
40-304—(SNOW PRINCESS X SHIRLEY TEMPLE). 
Pfitzer's always reliable, always straight, always well placed 
SNOW PRINCESS plus Pruitt's beautiful ruffled cream 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE, which is a seedling from the cross (Picardy 
X Ruffled Beauty), should throw some seedlings combining 
aod features of both parents. That would be something 
to have. 


40-308—(Seedling 36-8027 x Seedling 38-129). 
36-8027 is a decorative mauve of great delicacy of color- 
ation, 38-129 (Helena X Gertrude Swenson) is an exhibition 
type seedling not so clean in color but holding 8 to 10 
open. Genealogically this represents Blue Admiral seedling 
X (Minuet Seedling X Gertrude Swenson). It should yield 
seedlings in lavender, mauve, violet and purple, some of 
which should combine long stems, large florets, exhibition 
flower heads, and many open florets. 

40-309 (MEERSCHAUM X (lIOSCO X MAGNA BLANCA) 
Pfitzer's lively colored orange-buff combined with a seed- 
ling of Mrs. Kinyon’s tall sturdy cream buff and giant cream 
MAGNA BLANCA, should produce a wide variety of 
seedlings in both color and form. One thing is sure: you are 
going to get some extremely tall seedlings out of this cross 


40-310 (Seedling 38-66 X Seedling 38-3). 38-66 
(Blue Admiral X Mac) is a rose-red with seven inch 
florets, five open blooms. 38-3 (Aida X Moondara) is also 
a rose-red with four inch flowers, eight open at a time. The 
cross aims to produce seedlings in the red and violet shades 
combining large florets with the many open factor. 


40-311 (MR. F. W. DAVIS X VAGABOND PRINCE). 
This cross involves the mating of selected sister seedlings 
Both parents have the same genealogical background 
(Picardy X Commander Koehl). The cross should produce 
some fine scarlets, reds and smokies. Watch particularly 
for the reproduction of that Vagabond Prince blotch. 


40-314 (SHIRLEY TEMPLE X SEPTEMBER WHITE), 
large flowered, tall growing, never crooking September 
White should add something to the already fine qualities 
of Shirley Temple. It was very difficult to set seed on this 
cross and the crop varies widely in appearance. 



40-316 (VAGABOND PRINCE X FRASCATI). This 
cross is designed to produce blotched varieties. Both 
parents possess definite and attractive blotches which should 
carry over into their children. Many different ground colors 
should result, with an orange-red or rose-red blotch. 

40-317 (Seedling 38-250 X Seedling 38-229). 38-250 
(Reflection X Maid of Orleans) is a beautiful lavender 
but rather short. 38-229 (Snow Princess X Magna Blanca) 
is a clear white and very tall. The combination should 
develop seedlings of real merit in white, cream, pink and 
lavender. The throats should be clear for the most part 
with an occasional appearance of the yellowish cream of 
Magna Blanca. 


40-319 (Seedling 36-50 X INCENSE). Fragrance is again 
the object. 36-50 (Rosemarie Pfitzer X Incense) is a large 
flowered, ruffled clear pink, not fragrant. The present cross 
aims to backbreed with Incense in an attempt to double up the 
fragrant factor and yet retain the large floret of Seedling 
36-50, 

40-320 (SEPTEMBER WHITE X MAID OF ORLEANS). 
Two beautiful whites, one large flowered, the other medium» 
both strong, vigorous and healthy. The produce should be 
definitely good seedlings in white cream and pink. 

40-322 (J. S. BACH X RED GIANT). The purpose of 
this cross is to develop seedlings with the vigor and the 
free opening habits of J. S. BACH plus better placement 
and longer flower-head. Scarlets, reds and rose-reds with 
many open florets should appear amongst the seedlings. 


40-323 (PICARDY X MEMORY OF HINDENBURG). 
Frankly this cross was motivated by the fine results gained 
from earlier crosses of Picardy and Commander Koehl. 
Picardy seems to combine particularly well with Pfitzer’s 
reds, and this cross might be expected to turn out good 
seedlings in a wide range of color: salmon, salmon-pink, 
scarlet, red and smoky. 

—— 
40-325 (AMULET X ARETHUSA). Here we are looking 
for ruffled seedlings. Amulet is a seedling of (Picardy X 
Wasaga) and Arethusa is a seedling of (Brightside X Rose- 
marie Pfitzer). This cross therefore brings together not 
only two intensely ruffled varieties but two separate strains 
of ruffled Gladiolus as well. Many ruffled seedlings should 
result. Seeds were set only with great difficulty and the 
supply is limited. 

40-326 (TUNIA’S BLUE X ATLAS). The two best dark 
violet Gladiolus and the two best violet strains, New 
Zealand and Pfitzer, are here combined. Red, rose-red, 
dark red and violet seedlings should result. 

EEE 
40-327 (TAKINA X STAPLEFORD). This crosses two 
excellent purple varieties. Tall growth, large florets, many 
open florets are some of the characteristics to be ex- 
pected in the seedlings from this cross. Color should vary 
from red through the entire violet range, including dark 
red and purple. 

ne ee ne ee 
40-329 (REFLECTION X LAVENDER QUEEN). To cross 
a new Kinyon lavender with a new Arenius lavender is to 
bring together the World's finest strains of lavender Gla- 
diolus. Reflectionis a clear light lavender with heavy spike, 
Lavender Queen is a dark lavender in the Arenius tradition: 
tall growing, graceful spike. The resultant seedlings should 
run through all shades of lavender and mauve as well as 
rose-pink, rose-red and violet.
