40-302 (GRETA GARBO X RIMA). This cross brings 
together two of the finer newer Gladiolus. RIMA is a 
Picardy seedling, the result of crossing Picardy with a 
seedling (Longfellow X Pearl of California). The present 
cross combines this genealogical background with the 
cream of the Pfitzer strain. This cross should yield some 
excellent large florets in cream, blush, lavender, rose-pink. 

40-305 (STAPLEFORD X TUNIA’S BLUE WONDER). 
One of the best new purples, Stapleford crossed with one 
of the best new violets should yield seedlings in all shades 
of violet, rose-pink, and purple with ability to hold 8 to 10 
florets Open at a time. 


40-306 (MYRNA X GRETA GARBO). Pfitzer's giant 
soft rose crossed with Pruitt's gorgeous ruffled cream 
seedling of Maid of Orleans is a combination to stir the 
imagination. If it yielded nothing more thana larger flowered, 
taller growing MYRNA or a ruffled GRETA GARBO, it 
would be successful. Not many seeds available. 

40-307 (MYRNA X YELLOW GOLD). This cross is de- 
signed to get a yellow MYRNA. Genealogically it represents 
seedling (Maid of Orleans X 2?) X Seedling (Yellowstone, 
X Golden Dream). It should give white, cream, and yellow 
seedlings with 6 to 8 florets open at a time. 

40-312 (MEMORY OF HINDENBURG X ARDENT). 
Two outstanding new reds are here combined: the tall 
massive Pfitzer variety with its faulty floret attachment and 
the tall, graceful Mitsch seedling of (Picardy X Commander 
Koehl), with smaller florets but excellent attachment of 
floret. Scarlets, reds, and smokies should result. 
40-313 (VALERIA X PAUL GRAMPEL). This cross is 
the union of two excellent clear scarlet varieties and of two 
widely separated red strains: the Pfitzer and the Pruitt, 
which has Dr. F. E. Bennett in it. Some rich red and scarlet 
seedlings of decorative type should come from this cross. 

40-315 (FRASCATI X SO-BIG). This cross brings to- 
gether two of the more interesting new rose-pink varieties. 
Frascati is a strong, straight grower, with a rather fragile 
rose-pink blush ground color. So-Big is a strong, massive 
plant with large florets and a very definite and pleasing 
rose-pink color. Pink, lavender, mauve and rose-pink seed- 
lings should occur. 

40-318 (Seedling 34-61 X Seedling 38-234). Fragrance 
is the object of this cross. 34-61 (Aida X Mibloom) is a slightly 
fragrant salmon-pink, small decorative. 38-234 (Rosemarie 
Pfitzer X Incense) is a large flowered lavender blush, The 
present cross brings together two favorite fragrant strains, 
Mibloom amd Incense, and should yield some fragrant 
species.

40-321 (LORD SELKIRK X MATTERHORN). The famous 
Lord Selkirk (Mrs. Anna Pfitzer X Queen Mary) plus X-ray 
treatment of seed; is here combined with one of Pfitzer's 
many good clean white. Seedlings should run primarily in 
white and cream and certainly ought to show the capacity 
to open at least 8 to 10 florets at one time. 
nate Sinn ane 
40-324 (PICARDY X VISTA BONITA). Look for large 
flowered, tall growing pinks, salmon pinks and buffs from 
this cross. Seeds limited in number. 


Dee ee 
40-328 (WHITE SPIRE X LORD SELKIRK). Mrs. Kinyon's 
grand. white is here united to the famous Twomey Origi- 
nation. Whites, creams and pinks of large size and great 
florescence may be expected.

SELECTED SEEDLING BULBS COLLECTION 
Seldom if ever have you been able to buy 
bulbs grown directly from seed—bulbs, 
some of which have never bloomed nor 
shown the secret of the potential beauty and 
size they are capable of producing. Each 
one of these bulbs will give you a different 
color, shade, hue, combination of colors, or 
type and size of floret, or in some other way 
be different from any other Gladiolus. We 
cannot tell you what to expect as we do not 
know if there is a glistening pure white, a 
navy blue, a giant blotched smoky or a 
ruffled scarlet. But we do know you will be 
greatly pleased with each different bloom. 
25 MIXED SEEDLING BULBS $1.00 PREPAID. 100 MIXED SEEDLING BULBS $3.75 PREPAID.
