THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 


DAZZLER 
ORANGE 
(Incl. yellow orange and red orange) 
ACCA, LAURENTIA (Holland) 70 *—ftt 
Dec. Clean, soft orange, inconspicuously 
marked deeper in throat. Color does not 
fleck or burn. Slightly hooded. For 2 years 
we have studied this for flaws from point 
of view of cut flower use without finding 
any. Stocks limited and not more than half 
will be allowed to be sold. Bulbs, any 
size, $2. each. Blts .25 each Prices Net 
(no discount). 
BOBBY DAZZLER (Both) 80 **+ ttf 
Brilliantly clear and velvety red orange 
with deeper throat blotch. Beautifully 
ruffled. But for Jeanie and Coutts’ Orchid 
this variety would be just about the sole 
contender for the most beautiful glad in- 
troduced in the last 5 years. On account of 
the greater intensity of color in this one 
probably it will receive the most acclaim. 
Florets are not crowded, are 54%-6% 
inches dia., 5-7 open and are not crowded 
on the stem. Sales will stop when half 
our stocks are sold. Positively. Bulbs, 
any size, $2. each. Blts .25 each. Net 
(no discount). 
COL. WM. LIGHT (E. Both) 90 **+ tt 
Exh. only. Bright, metallic orange pink, 
with large yellow throat. Very large, 
round florets, 8 open, 26 buds. We say exh. 
only because the difference in performance 
fertilized and unfertilized is so marked.

DAZZLER (Both) 80 **+ ft{{ Exh. only. 
The greatest dazzler for color we have 
seen. We never thought we would ever 
see a glad of scarlet orange that could 
match Pfitzer’s Triumph. But this is 
vivid dazzling scarlet orange with darker 
blotch. Slightly ruffled. 51% inch florets, 
9-10 open, 22 and more buds. Full double 
row Exh. type placement. Flower fades in 
the sun so it is not a commercial type. 
But what a “humdinger” for the show 
bench or home use if blooms are opened 
indoors! A spike selected from our com- 
mercial display at Ohio, ’38, not entered 
in competition, was unanimously chosen 
by the judges as Grand Champion Bloom 
of the Show, winning the American Home 
Achievement Medal and the N.E.GSS. 
Purple Rosette. Our 1st also Ind., ’38. 
Our ist Md., ’39. Our 1st (beating our 
own fine Harmau and Master Myron), 
Mich., ’40. Sorry to state stocks are still 
scarce but this year we will share the 
medium size and bulblets with you.

DIANE (Krueger) 110 **+7{ Exh. Smooth 
salmon orange with clear cream throat.

full double row). L .50 M .35 S .25 Bits

HURRICANE (Evans) 78 *—tttt Bright 
salmon toned orange, clear cream throat 
marked with several small cherry lines. 
Slightly ruffled. 5 inch florets, 8-10 open 
on very stretchy, long flowerheads. Easy 
propagator, frequently making large 
spikes and large bulbs directly from bulb- 
lets. In 1940 won the American Home 
Achievement Medal at Mich. state show. 
In ’41 it won for us a first and Vase 
trophy at Wellsville, 2 firsts at Mich. 
state, where numerous growers again 
acknowledged its high color value, first 
at Midwest and Champion Seedling at 
Mahoning, fairly impressive for a seed- 
ling. Bulbs and Blts will be obtainable 
this year only in connection with sales of 
Spitfire, its ‘‘brother’’ seedling. See Spit- 
fire in Deep Salmon group. Get Hurri-
