MRS. E. J. HEATON (Heaton) (EM) Huge glowing salmon with a large golden 
throat. A fine variety, producing large flowered tall spikes in spite of dry 
weather and other adverse conditions. Outstanding. Good commercial. 
MRS. LULU HUNT (Fairy Lane Farms) (E) Light salmon pink with deeper lines 
in the throat. In size and vigor it resembles EARLY DAWN, but the color is 
much softer and somewhat lighter. Good commercial. 
ORANGE PRINCESS (De Groot) (EM) Clear bright orange, with large florets wide 
open on a moderately tall spike. A very popular commercial. 
PARADISE (Pruitt) (EM) Clear apricot buff with lighter throat lined scarlet. A 
tall grower, large flowered and vigorous. Good commercial. 
PEGGY LOU (Wilson) (M) Smooth toned pure pink. Having the same parentage 
as PICARDY, it enjoys the large size and fine habits of that variety. An ex- 
ceptionally consistent show winner, PEGGY LOU is becoming increasingly popu- 
lar as a commercial variety. Outstanding. 
PELEGRINA (Pfitzer) (EM!) Deep pansy blue, with lower petals somewhat darker. 
Florets are large and open many at one time, but the stem is not always stiff 
enough to qualify as a first class commercial. Very popular, nevertheless. 
PHYLLIS MCQUISTON (Stewart) (L) Pure pink shading to a white throat. Tall 
and strong, with large florets, we consider it the finest commercial pink avail- 
able at low prices. Outstanding. 
PICARDY (Palmer) (M) Huge melting salmon pink with lighter throat. The 
world’s most popular gladiolus. 
POLAR ICE (Pfitzer) (E) The first large flowered pure white to bloom, and one of 
the most popular. Makes rather a rough looking bulb but grows well and is 
profitable to grow for cutting. A good commercial. 
PRIMROSE PRINCESS (Salbach) (LM) Large flowered canary yellow. A nice tall 
grower, we find it our best commercial variety in this color. 
QUEEN HELEN II (Salbach) (L) Light grenadine pink with lighter throat, blotched 
cream. An exceptionally husky grower with large wide open florets on a tall 
heavy spike. A good late commercial. 
RECOVERY (Blake) (M)_ Light red, overlaid salmon rose. Makes tremendous 
spikes of large florets with many open. An unusual but attractive color. 
RED LORY (Errey) (M)_ Bright rose red with deeper throat blotch. Holds many 
open on a tall spike of large florets. Good commercial and very popular. 
RED PHIPPS (Briggs) (EM) Clear spectrum red. The wonderfully clear color, 
combined with a good spike of moderate height, has made it one of the most 
popular commercial reds. 
ROSA VAN LIMA (Pfitzer) (E) Lovely light true pink with white midribs and 
throat, a perfect florists’ color. Florets are large and well formed and are well 
placed on a tall graceful spike. Exceptionally successful as a show winner, it is 
even more valuable as a commercial variety. Everyone who grows glads should 
have this one. 
SNOWDEN (Ball) (LM) Nice tall white with inconspicuous violet lines deep in 
the throat. Florets are of good size, and growth is vigorous. Good commercial. 
SYMPHONY (Palmer) (LM) Immense light rose pink with an exceptionally long 
flower head. Good commercial. 
TOKEN (Pappas) (E) Flame salmon with yellow throat. Very tall spikes of moder- 
ate size florets of fine substance. Regarded as a valuable early commercial. 
VAGABOND PRINCE (Palmer) (LM) Rich mahogany brown with a bright flame 
blotch. A good grower and a fine novelty, something different and unique. 
Outstanding. 
ZAUBERFLOTE (Pfitzer) (EM) Light peach rose with a deep red blotch. A strong 
growing variety and a very attractive color combination. One of the best 
blotched varieties. |
