GLADIOLUS WINTER FAIRY 
The first of an entirely new strain of winter flower- 
ing gladiolus originated in our Nursery. Stands 
several degrees more frost and the flower stems 
are dantier and more graceful than the large 
flowered hybrids. Corms planted in September in 
Santa Barbara bloom by mid-December. Succes- 
sive plantings will furnish flowers throughout Feb- 
ruary. Must be grown COOL under glass. 
Winter Fairy has a wide open flower about 4 
inches across. The three upper petals are a light 
salmon pink with a dark stripe in the center. The 
three lower petals are a lemon yellow tipped with 
light salmon pink. The throat has deep pink lines. 
There are three to five flowers open at one time on 
a 3 to 4 foot stem. The color combination and 
wavy petals make it an unusually attractive glad- 
iolus.
