Other Scheer Originations 
GARDENIA - ( Maid of Orleans X Apricot Glow ) 
This variety has been on the market for several years and growers and florists are only just 
beginning to appreciate its quality. An Iowa grower reports that it was his best selling white, 
bringing premium prices over all others in the Des Moines market. In response to numerous 
requests and because of favorable comments from many sections, I am offering this variety 
this year. 
Gardenia is a light cream, or milk white, decorative, with medium size florets- 4%”; color is 
uniform, without any mark; the petals are loosely waved and well placed on straight, wiry 
stems, giving the spike a very graceful appearance - Gardenia is a variety that appeals especi- 
ally to the artistic and fastidious. Plant growth strong and healthy - many bulbs produce two, 
and sometimes three or more, strong spikes, and bulblet production is exceptionally good, 
While I do not make a practice of selling cut gladiolus, local florists have clamored for Gar- 
denia and I have had to accede to their request on many occasions. 
If you appreciate a really artistic flower, by all means try Gardenia. 
Prices: Large- @ .20 12 for $1.50 
Medium- @ .15 12 for 1.25 
Small- @ .10 12 for 1.00 
BELTANE THE STRONG - ( Mrs. P. W. Sisson X Comm. Koehl ) 
While not listed last year, so many requests were received for it last year that I have decided 
to offer it now. 
Beltane is one of the parents of Genghis Khan. 
A light red, with inconspicuous deeper feather in throat. Florets of medium size, with con- 
siderable ruffling: 6-7 florets open on a straight spike; healthy plant and bulb and good 
bulblet producer. Valuable especially in breeding as it seems to transmit its ruffling to the 
offspring.

Medium- @ .85 
Small- @ .25 
Bulblets- 25 for $1.00

From a prominent Canadian fancier and grower— "I sent an air express shipment of seedlings to 
Washington State Fair - 15 in all - in which were included two spikes of WHITE GOLD. One WHITE 
GOLD was placed in the open white class and was awarded First Prize; the other was shown with 
my seedlings in a class known as the Air Express Class; there were 22 entries in the class, in- 
cluding ----. WHITE GOLD was selected as the best spike in the class and was awarded the Gold 
Medal. ----- I also exhibited a vase of WHITE GOLD at our first show and got First Prize and best 
vase in show. At the second Calgary show I entered a basket of WHITE GOLD and got first prize.” 
(Incidentally, this entry also won the Canadian G. S. Silver Medal.)
