NEWER GLADS FOR 1943 
Again we present our annual Gladiolus descript- 
ive list, and as usual we try to include in it 
mainly those newer varieties which appeal to us 
as outstanding, with a few slightly older kinds 
which are still unsurpassed. Each year we grow 
hundreds of varieties, but intend to list only 
the best of these, after careful trial. However, 
as is always the case, some Glads perform better 
in one locality than in another, and our recomm- 
endations may not always agree with results in 
other places. Altho we irrigate when needed, we 
do have plenty of hot weather in July and August 
to test the stamina of the newer varieties, and 
most Glads which do well here should perform sat- 
isfactorily in most places.
