Mrs. Howard Bow 
We believe is our best recent introduc- 
tion. It is a result of a cross from Com. 
Koehl X Picardy that has given us so 
many outstanding seedlings. It is a 
beautiful salmon-pink with scarlet tones 
and a lighter throat. The center of each 
petal is ribbed lighter, the lower petals 
showing a small red line. It is deeper 
than Picardy and the back of the petals 
are a most beautiful, even, deep salmon 
color. Medium early and grows as large 
as Picardy and is disease free. Mrs. 
Howard Bow makes a large, tall plant 
and is a good propagator and germina- 
tor. It is in the exhibition class ,making 
a very good cut flower.

MRS. A. R. PONTIUS 

MRS. HOWARD BOW 
Mrs. A. R. Pontius 
Introduced in 1938, continues to be g 
winner in every section of the country 
it has been grown. It is one of the 
most dependable white Gladiolus we 
grow, both in the field and on the 
show table. Mrs. A. R. Pontius will 
grow as large as Mammoth White, its 
seed parent, but will produce far bet- 
ter spikes with placement nearly per- 
fect. Its small rose-lavender blotch 
only adds to its immaculate beauty. 
Propagation and germination of this 
new white is good. This variety makes 
a fine looking round bulb which will 
reproduce year after year.
