spike of Sioux City, lowa Gladiolus Show. Thanks to you. It was beautiful. Also | received 
blue ribbons on the following which | purchased from you. WAG. PRINCE, RECADO, 
KING LEAR, REWI FALLU, BEACON. | won a cup and trophy for a ‘Recent Introduc-

e %%% «(Medium Dec) (Mid-season) Light peaches and cream. 
Reverie 6-8 medium size lightly ruffled blooms open at a time. 
Beautiful pastel shade. 
*% Xk % ~=«(Large Formal) (Mid-season) Most vivid gorgeous 
Rocket scarlet. I have never seen any more beeautil eelered 
light red. Opens 7-8 or more medium large perfectly placed blooms on a good length 
head. Sometimes doesn’t grow quite so Allee we would like but I have never had 
any complaints about this. And this past season it was wonderful where it had 
plenty of moisture Many commercial growers have tried Rocket and say it is one 
of the very best reds they have found, if not the best. It is a sister seedling of Regent 
and Algonquin but different type from either one and I think fully as good. It will 
produce a larger proportion of fine spikes than Algonquin. There is room for all 
three of these varieties. Better try them all and take your pick. See Front Cover. 
Roselle *%** (Large Formal) (Mid-season) Beautiful salmon rose. 
Opens 8-10 large well placed blooms on a medium height 
plant. Would make a fine commercial if it only grew taller. It is very impressive 
and makes a beautiful large spike that shows up fine across the field. 
Royal York *** (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Deep scarlet with a 
Sects dts ctl leon hint of salmon. 5-6 large wide open blooms on a 
moderate height plant. Good in hybridizing as it is a parent of Aladdin, Recado and 
Titan. 
Sahara tk %Y% (Medium Formal) (Late mid-season) Light russet with 
Nnadixacotearhctaeett soft cream blotch in the throat, lightly peppered russet 
with scarlet penciling. Up to 10 medium large well placed blooms open on a tall 
straight spike. Very unusual color and popular. Never wilts in the hottest weather. 
Think you will like it. See cut on page 16. 
kk % ~«=«6(Large Dec) (Mid-season) Light shrimp pink with soft 
Sandra diffused amber blotch. Of Picardy type but a little lighter 
in shade. Its beauty is increased by its amber blotch on the lip. A beautiful variety. 
Strong propagator. 
Sari ke % «(PatmER) (Med. Dec) (Early) Beautiful clear purple that 
steamed has been admired by many. Stock very limited. 
Ww * IK Y, (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Pure snow 
Snow White : white with a touch of lemon in the throat. 
5-6 large beautiful ruffled blooms open at a time. Some of my customers have grown 
it up to 7 inches across. About the most beautiful white I have seen. Fine for the 
home garden or local cut flower use. Probably not a shipping variety. 
be (Medium Dec) (Late mid-season) Very nice light orange, 
Solita ‘Sias quite similar to Bit O’ Heaven but slightly lighter in shade. 
Opens several medium size blooms on a tall slender ideal stem. In England this is 
liked better than Bit O’ Heaven. A good commercial variety that is fine for autumn 
decorations. 
Medium Dec Early) Beautiful clear 
Spray of Gold miner Cantar athe lightly ve 4—5 medium 
large blooms open. One of the most beautiful yellows but doesn’t open enough ata 
time to become a popular cut flower variety. Fine for the home garden and for the 
first early cut flower yellow. 

‘Am more than pleased with the bulbs that | received in the spring. And thanks for 
the big count and extras.” —Mrs. M. F. Dorfe, Ohio.
