- (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Clear soft salmon with 
Picardy al altel reterhiaet on which there is a soft inconspicuous 
feathering of rose. 7 to.8 large well placed blooms open. Picardy is the finest and 
most valuable variety ever produced. It is the one that you see in all florists’ shops. 
It is grown by the millions for cut flowers. Many of the finest varieties of the last 
few years have come from Picardy and with many more yet to come. Picardy has 
made the gladiolus industry what it is today. A hybridizer who could produce a 
Picardy would be famous even if he never secured another good seedling. 
*&*&x*% «(Medium'For.) (Early) Beautiful deep glistening 
Rangoon purple shading somewhat lighter toward the throat. 
Opens 8 at a time. Extremely heavily ruffled and fine texture. One fault of this 
variety is that it doesn’t usually get quite so tall as we would like. Usually not 
over 4 feet and sometimes not that. But for beauty in color and form it leaves 
nothing to be desired. I am sure you will like it. 
*&*&%*&x* ~=«(Large Dec.) (Late mid-season) Rosy ash flecked and 
Recado splashed with orange scarlet with diffused darker 
blotch. Opens up to 10 large, well placed blooms at a time. A gorgeous smoky 
variety that is fine for exhibition. Strong grower and propagator. Anyone who 
likes smokies will surely like Recado. Sells well in our shop. 
* %*&*&* ~=«(Large For.) (Late mid-season) Clear glowing scarlet 
Regent with somewhat darker blotch in the throat. 9-10 large 
well placed blooms on a head of 20 to 22 buds. It is one of the very finest scarlets, 
both for exhibition and commercial purposes. Due to a yellow variety getting 
mixed with Regent soon after it was introduced the stock has always been more 
or es Ha So I have only a very small stock of the true Regent and am selling 
only at retaul. 
*&*&*&* «(Large For.) (Mid-season) Most vivid, gorgeous scar- 
Rocket let. Seen 7-8 or more medium large perfectly placed 
blooms on a good length head. Sometimes for me it is a little on the short side but 
don’t recall ever having any complaints on that score. It certainly is one of the 
very best scarlets on the market, and commercial growers tell me it is the best all 
around red they have tried. This variety is gaining in popularity all the time as a 
cut flower. One commercial grower who tried it last year ordered 25,000 for this year. 
**&*’% (Ex) (Com) Light shrimp pink with soft diffused am- 
Sandra , ber blotch. Of Picardy type but little lighter in shade 
which is set off Just right by the amber blotch on the lip. A very beautiful variety 
and one which I have had many fine reports on. A strong propagator. 
Sahara **&*1% (Med. For.) (Late mid-season) Light russet with soft 
cream blotch in throat, lightly peppered darker russet 
with scarlet penciling. Up to 10 medium large well placed blooms open on a tall, 
straight spike. Very unusual color and fast becoming popular. Will not wilt in the 
hottest sun. Feel sure you will like it. 
Ww b *&*&%*% (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Pure snow white 
Snow White with a touch of lemon in the throat. 5-6 
large beautifully ruffled blooms open. Has been grown up to 7 inches across. A 
beautiful variety for the home garden or local cut flower use. Have had fine reports 
on this. Somehow or other very little stock of Snow White was planted last season. 
Hope to have more next year. I am not selling it this year but am substituting 
percung No. 35217 which I consider fully as good as Snow White. Some say it is 
CLLeL.

Symphony kkk (Med. Dec.) (Mid-season) Light rosy pink with
