BLACK OPAL (New, Australian)—After hav- 
ing grown this variety for several years, 
we are inclined to place Black Opal at 
the top of the list of the dark reds. Not 
quite as dark as Moorish King or Ara- 
bella, but a very rich dark red, that pro- 
duces fine long spikes of large well placed 
blooms. A splendid grower and a good 
increaser—in fact, has all the good quali- 
ties that go to make a high class gladi- 
olus. Award of Merit, British Gladiolus 
Society. Mid-season.

burnt orange. Six to nine open blooms

same long, tall, straight spike, and vigor- 
ous growth that have helped make Betty 
Nuthall so popular. These factors com- 
bined with the fact that it has heavy 
leathery substance, make this a very de- 
sirable variety. Early.
