‘Hurricane seems destined to go places in its color class. 
9 opened in field. Stood out like a lighthouse in the garden. 
Color is quite subtle, being bright from a distance and soft 
close by. Its brightness of orange is heightened by artificial 
light, which is a good decorative quality. Now every bulblet 
is going to bloom and most are holding about 5 good sized 
blooms open in the field. I wouldn’t part with one of them for 
a mint of money. If it doesn’t sell there is something wrong 
y 
with the public’’. 6-17-41. Prof. E. M. C. S., Sacramento, Cal. 
LA FIESTA 90 *—ftit Dec. Bright orange. 
Deeper in throat. Tall, strong, wiry stem. 
Color a large improvement on the popular 
Senorita, with much taller spikes and 
better placement. A coming ‘‘cut flower.”’ 
Rapid increaser. Large blts. We have 
had spikes with 12 open florets. Also 5 ft. 
spikes from small bulbs. We registered 
fomirecewit at. A.G.s., ‘36. Has A.M. 
from B.G.S. and E. Bay. Four wins re- 
corded in ’41. L. .08 M .05 Bits (100, 
.30). 
PINOCCHIO (Evans) 75+1tt Med. Dec. 
Com. A true Novelty gladiolus. Color isa 
novelty blending of pink, yellow, green, 
orange and red without emphatic pre- 
ponderance of any one of these colors. 
At a distance the yellow, orange and red 
give it a prevailing orange tone and thus 
it is classified as orange. Perhaps “any 
other color’ might be correct. Florets 
are of heavy texture, 314-4 inches, are 
round, wide open, intensely ruffled and 
fluted. Placement airy on stretchy spike 
50 inches high. Flowerhead 24 inches on 
wiry stem well above the foliage which is a 
bit short. Good propagator, large bulb- 
lets, most of which bloom. On its first 
appearance in the shows it won Ist, 3 
spike Dec. seedling, Section Champ. Dec. 
seedling and A.M. (841% points) at Ohio,

noted at Ind. and Utah and our firsts at

LIGHT SALMON 
CARILLON (Palmer) 93 *+T{ Dec. Com. 
Clean, light rosy pink, creamy blotch. 
414-5 inch, wide open, ruffled florets well 
placed on stretchy, tall spike. We have 
not grown it long—just one year, so our 
observation in the field is limited but 
friend Elmer says ‘‘One of its many good 
features is that it is always straight.” 
L .15 M .08 S. .05 Blts (100, .35). 
GLAMIS (Palmer) 90 *—tt Dec. Com. 
Good, clean color, salmon rose, creamy 
lip. Florets beautifully ruffled, fluted and 
needlepoint. Robust grower, good propa- 
gator, blooms freely from bits. for us.

PINOCCHIO 
H. B. PITT (E. Both) 80 **—ttt{{ Exh. 
Com. Smooth, light orange pink, cream 
throat. Powerful growth, stiff stem. Tall, 
full exhibition spikes, regularly well 
placed in double row formation. Heavy 
propagator. A sister seedling to Harmau. 
Our ist, 3 spike, in the popular salmon 
pink class, Mich., ’40. We repeated this at 
Wisc., ’41. This is truly a contender with 
Picardy in the Salmon Pink Class. We 
believe its color is cleaner and more beau- 
tiful than that of either Picardy or Sen- 
sation. We had wonderful propagation 
with hundreds of spikes from bulblets so. 
we have reduced the prices about 80%.

“Rec’d order of glad bulbs Sat. O. K. Was more than 
pleased. I figure the overcount and extras around 90% 
discount.”? 4-23-40. M. A. B., Ellsworth, Me. 
“Just had to write and thank you for the many extra glad 
bulbs you sent me—and some of your best ones, too. No one 
could appreciate them more than I because my love for glads 
is very large and my pocket-book very small and flat.”’
