Mellowglow '* 
A delicate pastel creamy pink. I can 
give no better description of this 
beautiful variety than to quote the 
test report received from Mrs. O. R. 
Gouverneur, Diamond, Mo., which 
reads as follows: 
“The charm of this variety lies in it’s 
delicate, melting color, as smooth a color 
as I have ever seen, accompanied by heavy 
substance and waxy texture. I think it 
ranks among the very first in the delicate- 
ly tinted gladioli in color. The florets are 
needle-pointed, adding to it’s attractive- 
ness. In general growth it performs sim- 
ilar to the way Picardy performs here. In 
it’s first years growing here it seems a reli- 
able grower. Opening six 6 inch florets on 
a 24 inch flower head on 46% spike, under 
field culture. Holds up well after being 
cut. I think it should be a very good 
commercial as the attachment and facing 
are excellent. My only criticism is that it 
lacks a little in height but it can be cut 
very low, making a nicely porportioned 
spike. The overall length of cut spike was 
38 inches. Frankly I think it should make 
a hit with any glad lover with its exquisite 
coloring and good growth. As you have 
gathered from the above I like it very 
much, it’s beauty grows on one.” 
Signed: Mrs. O. R. Gouverneur 
Diamond, Missouri.

Tested six years and being a good
