the same lavender pink as Cattleya or- 
chid. Similar in form to Minuet, but 
pinker, and retains its color under arti- 
ficial light. Large, wide-open blooms of 
heavy substance and fine placement. As 
many as 10 blooms open at once, and one 
of the few flowers that will stand the 
hottest sun without fading or wilting.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE. No gladiolus is more 
beautiful than a good spike of Shirley 
Temple, for it is of the purest soft cream, 
and is heavily ruffled. Florets are large 
and of fine substance and well placed on 
a long flower spike. Stems sometimes 
crook in extreme hot weather. Despite 
this occasional fault it is a top ranking 
variety. Early mid-season.

TIP TOP. An immense wide-open red which 
would undoubtedly have gained wide re- 
nown earlier in its career except for the 
fact it is a rather slow propagator. Gen- 
erally recognized as the best red in com- 
merce, certainly the best at anywhere 
near its price range. Six to eight of 18 to 
19 buds open at once. Florets very large, 
and habit ideal. Very tall. Mid-season.

VAGABOND PRINCE. A very rich irides- 
cent garnet brown with a glowing scarlet 
blotch. Eight or more well placed florets 
open at once. Probably the richest in tone 
of all gladiolus, certainly the richest of 
the smokies—opens up well when cut. 
Florets of good size. Awarded many first 
prizes. Mid-season.
