time and again. —Mrs. Donald Arries, Wisconsin. 

Mother Machree ***”% (tvens) (Med. For) (Late) 
Smoky lavender over-laid toward 
the edge with salmon pink. When opened out doors it is rather a slatey color but 
inside shows more buff which brightens it up a good deal. 8-12 medium size blooms 
open on a tall plant. One of the most popular smokies. Personally I like Recado 
much better as the color is even better and much larger, but Mother Machree is 
lower priced this year. Is still very popular. 
Mrs. T. E. Langford *k*&* (Crow) (Med. Dec) (Late) 
ee ee ee a Beautiful peaches and cream 
with a touch of canary in throat. 8-10 medium size blooms on an always straight 
spike. Very nice variety for those who like the medium sized ones. If you want only 
the large ones try something else. Healthy and one of the parents of Beacon, another 
healthy one. 
Myrna k*k*Y, (Pruitt) (Large For) (Early mid-season) Heavily 
ruffled ivory white. 7-10 large well placed heavily ruffled 
blooms on a medium tall spike. Good grower and propagator. One of the best exhibi- 
tion whites. Can be grown wonderfully fine. 
Ogarita New variety. See page 20. 
Padre **&*Y. (LEFFINGWELL) (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Light orange 
shading to yellow toward the throat and with large dark 
reddish orange blotch. Up to 12 large blooms open on a head of 20 buds. Somewhat 
ruffled round blooms. Grows nearly 4 feet tall. Big very showy spike. Should beat 
any other orange in exhibition. I am holding small bulbs and bulblets for increase. 
*&%*%&*Y (BEATRICE L. PALMER) (Medium For) (Mid- 
Pandora season) Clear soft geranium pink with inconspicuous 
lines in the throat. 8-10 round medium size blooms on a medium height spike. This 
was very fine with me last season. I am sure you will like it. See cut on page 40. 
Paula Ann New variety. See page 21. 
Pe y Lou *** (Geo. Wirson) (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Light 
rose. Tall strong grower. Has won innumerable 
awards and is well liked by many as a commercial. Is getting more popular all the 
time. Fine grower and propagator. 
*k%&* «(PrF) (Med. Dec) (Early) Dark blue, a popular 
Pelegrina standard variety for years. The darkest blue there 
is and fine except that the stems are a little weak. Doesn’t crook so much as bends 
over. Big seller. 
Phyllis Me uiston Kw «6 (STEWART) «=(Med. Dec) (Mid- 
season) A glowing rosy shrimp 
pink shading lighter toward the throat. Very nice color. Tall plant with 5 or more 
blooms open. Very nice decorative and cut flower variety. 

“The gladiolus began to bloom by the middle of June and are just now stopping. 
They were the most magnificent | have ever seen. The stalks were unusually long, and some 
had four spikes to one stalk, the center one having about sixteen blooms usually and the 
others four each. All of the early ones had from two to four spikes to each stalk. | had 
never before seen the gladiolus bloom so profusely, with more than one stalk. | saw no 
others in Atlanta in the florist shops or anywhere else, that could compare with these. | 
had No. 3 bulbs.” —M. C. Huntly, Geo.
