GUIDEBOOK FOR 1942 
GOLDEN GODDESS 95 —tttt Exh. The 
first patented gladiolus (U.S. Plant Patent 
No. 77). Clear, deep monotone yellow. 
Consistently makes long, compact flower- 
heads with about 12 open florets and a 
total of about 22 buds. Color is richer 
than that of the other yellows listed. 
Florets larger than those of Golden Dream, 
flowerhead longer, stem shorter. We have 
grown this variety 6 years and are satis- 
fied that the color value is outstanding. 
Together with 3 national seed houses and 
a few gladiolus growers, we are licensed 
by the Patentee, Carl Salbach, to sell 
Golden Goddess. Bulbs will be supplied 
only upon the express condition that they 
can be grown for the personal enjoyment 
of purchaser, but that no bulb or bulblet 
stock may be resold, leased, given away or 
in any way transferred without the 
written consent of the Patentee. We have 
recorded 11 firsts in ’41. L .08 (100, 5.00). 
JIM HOLLAND (Both) 110 *—ftt Dec. 
Com. The color of this new sport of 
Betty Nuthall with us is definitely clear 
light yellow with the regular Betty 
Nuthall throat scratches. The color is 
much closer to true yellow than that of 
Betsy Bob Up and entirely lacks the pink 
combination of the latter. The clarity of 
yellow color, coupled with Nuthall growth 
and propagation habits are bound to 
point this new glad into show and com- 
mercial paths. Judged ‘‘Best Australian 
Commercial Variety,” S.A.G.S., ’39. Our 
firsts, Ohio, 40 and both Ohio and Wisc., 
41. L .30M .20S .10 Blts (100, 2.00). 
SIR GALAHAD (Salbach) 95 **+7{ Exh. 
Patented. Soft, rich, clear creamy yellow 
with a diamond shaped blotch of rich 
crimson, in beautiful contrast. Words fail 
us to describe its unusual beauty. Six 
6 inch florets wide open, a bit recurved, 
18 bud. Tall, strong spikes with long 
flowerhead. Patent restrictions same as 
specified in description of Golden Goddess. 
Our ist, S. E. Mich., ’40. In ’41 it won at 
Ohio, Ind., SW. Va., and East Bay. Also 
for us at Mich. and Wisc., where our 3 
spikes almost without doubt attracted 
more interest than any other entry in the 
show. Judging from the great interest 
shown by visitors to our fields, this will 
be one of our ‘‘best sellers.’’ See patent 
collection prices at end of variety list.

BUFF 
AMULET 93 *—ff Dec. Clear capucine 
orange buff. Heavily ruffled. Has a peachy 
tone not found in Wasaga. Both Amrita 
and Amulet are Picardy X Wasaga crosses, 
probably from the same pod. ° We feel 
certain that Amulet is the more desirable 
of the two. A.M., C.G.S.,’36, A.M. Metro., 
’37. Ill., Wash. and sec. champ E. N. Y., 
40. A first at Mich. and our Ist at S. E.

DONNA (Pruitt) 70—f{ Dec. Com. Golden 
buff, well ruffled. Color much as Wasaga 
but much stretchier spikes, taller, with 
more open. FE arliness, good growing 
habits and free bloom from small sizes 
warrant your serious consideration. We 
broke the ice for this new one, winning at 
S. E. Mich., ’40. Firsts at Wisc. and Grants 
Pass and we won with it again at the 2nd 
Ohio show, all ’41. First year at reasonable 
price. L .20 M .15 S .10 Blts (100, 2.00). 
HELEN OF TROY (Salbach) 88 ***+7tt 
Exh. Patented. Larger than Miss America 
and almost as large as King of Hearts. 
A beautiful apricot not far from the 
golden buff of Wasaga with slight shadings 
of pink and a sort of brownish blotch. 
Florets wide open, consistently 614-8 
inches diameter, 6-8 open, 19 _ buds, 
27 inch flowerhead, close to 60 inches tall. 
Always straight. This variety is going to 
win some grand championships as soon 
as it gets around to the shows. Patented 
restrictions same as specified in descrip- 
tion of Golden Goddess. Wellsville, O., 
both shows, E.N.Y., our sec. champ Mich., 
largest floret and grand champion Grants 
Pass., all ’40. Above is a carry-over des- 
cription. In 1941, largely by our cus- 
tomers (or ourselves), firsts were had at 
W. Va., Midwest, Ohio, Wash., Conn., 
Wellsville, Pa., Sioux City, Sheboygan, 
E. S. G. S. and SW Va. It secured 4 firsts 
at Canadian show and we won with it at 
Wisc., Mich., Ohio and S. E. Mich. 
where our entry then became section 
champion and then Reserve Champion 
(runner up for grand champion), all ’41.
