“We have bought gladiolus bulbs from you during the past two years and we just 
want to let you know that we are pleased with the results we have had with them. We 
also want to thank you for the extras you included with our orders and the good selections 
you made. You included one of the WINSTON bulbs and the blooms were really gor- 
geous. —Mr. & Mrs. Fred Yost, Virginia. 

(Large Dec) (Early) Coppery smoky with yellow throat. A nice 
30287 color. Tall strong grower. Sells well in our florist shop. 
30289 (Medium Formal) (Mid-season) A smoky that opens up to 10 or 
more medium size blooms. Throat yellowish. Many people want this 
named also. You name it for yourself. 
(Medium Dec) (Late) Dark gray smoky with yellowish throat. 
302810 Very unusual and good. Think you will like it. 
32055 (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Distinctive shade of bright salmon with 
large white throat. Opens 5-7 large beautiful blooms. Really fine. 
(Large Dec) (Mid-season) Delicate flesh pink. Large blooms, lon 
32145 heads. Fine if you like the delicate shades. ‘ 
32195 (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Huge massive scarlet with large white 
throat. Opens 6—7 enormous blooms of heavy substance on a long 
head. Sometimes rather short but this past season was the best ever, many plants 
were around 4 feet tall. Very strong and sturdy. 
32201 (Large Dec) (Mid-season) A sister seedling of Amrita, Amulet and 
others. Very beautiful orangy buff. A color that is as clean and fine 
as any of its sisters. Tall strong grower. About its only fault is that in warm weather 
it often crooks, but no more than some fine named varieties. Many people have 
written in that it did not crook with them. If it wasn’t for this fault which sometimes 
occurs it would be one of the finest varieties in existence, as its color is top-notch 
and it makes a good spike with 6—8 well placed blooms open. Many people insist on 
having this named. 
(Large Dec) (Mid-season) Large nice light buff, plain petaled. 
322020 6-8 large blooms open, very nice. Long heads. 
322032 (Medium Dec) (Mid-season) Beautiful ruffled cream, medium 
BAAS I size but opens 8 or more on a long head. Very tall, around 5 feet, 
and always straight. Sister seedling of Winston and some like it better. Fine for a 
cut flower variety. May be named later. 
32203 (Medium Dec) (Early) Fine ruffled lemony cream. Sister seedling 
IAaAaYSD of the three above varieties. Not so tall nor so many open as the others 
but a beauty. 
33103 (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Sister seedling of Snow White. Very nice. 
Large Dec) (Late) Similar in color to Beacon but softer shade 
340111 ae aes ruffled, not so tall. Distinctive and good. 
I (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Beautifully ruffled, similar to Snow White 
35217 and fully as good. Some like it better. A beautiful variety that may 
be named later. 
Large Dec Early mid-season) Ruffled scarlet with large white 
35321 baat Very Prittetve and distinctive, though the colors are some- 
what like Beacon. 


. i ASMINE, MARGARET BEATON, IEKA. Liked Palmer 
sd NE ing CCRIMBAD better than AMULET and AMRITA. While the color 
was not as clear and fine as AMULET it was miles ahead as cut flower, both in size and 
keeping qualities.” —Wm. Raynor, N. Y
