HaDerrps 
(From medium bulb by 
G.H. M., Riverside, Ont.) 
SEANIE (Pruitt) 85 *—ftft Dec. Com. 
What a beauty! Bright, glistening light 
salmon, clean and clear of all flecking, 
with white, raised midribs and blending 
into light cream throat. Color is unbe- 
lievably rich. Unless you see it we doubt 
we can do it justice with mere words. It’s 
cheap enough for you to find out for your- 
self. We could fill so many pages with the 
- commendation it received that we would 
not know which to select. 5 inch florets, 
5-6 open, tall, strong, wiry stem, good 
propagator. If we have not convinced 
you that we are convinced of the out- 
standing quality of Jeanie, both for show 
bench and for cut flower, then just risk a 
dime or 15 cents for a bulb and find out 
first hand. L.15 M..10 
“In my opinion you have an excellent gladiolus in Stella 
Antisdale. The color is beautiful, placement excellent, a 
real exh. glad and a wonderfully fine cut flower with keeping 
qualities. I am more than pleased with my investment: My 
hat’s off to you and Stella Antisdale. You’ve really got 
something pcs 820-40. M. J. E., Grand Haven, Mich. 
“Won two firsts with Stella Antisdale. With two bulbs. 
This is everything you say about it. Extravagantly admired 
and one of the best things in the show. 12-3-41. B. F. P., 
Roanoke, Va.

Com. A light autumn pink which might 
be described as being a light orange salmon 
pink with a deep scarlet blotch on a gold 
base, a very harmonizing color make- UD: 
Very beautifully ruffled. Florets 414-5 
inches. Makes a fine, tall, commercial 
spike with florets rigidly held. Its autumn 
colors, heavy ruffling at edges, and genera] 
good cut flower habits presage a popular 
reception for this variety. Award of Mer-

DEEP SALMON—32 Series 
ALADDIN 85 ***—t{{t Exh. Soft tones of 
salmon pink, creamy blotch with some 
cream along the mid ribs of the petals. 
Immense florets, widely expanded, some- 
what waved, well over 6 inches dia., 8-10 
open, about 20 buds. One of the very best 
of the Palmer varieties. If he could 
make it over the only suggestion we could 
make would be a little more length of 
stem, bit stretchier flower head. However, 
as is, it takes something to beat it in the 
shows. Shown with 14 open, Iowa State,

HARMAU (Both) 72 **+ {=f Exh. Com. 
A highly desirable new color, difficult to 
describe or classify. An orange red with 
distinctly rosy overtone, throat deeper. 
Enough ruffling to enhance the beauty of 
the well placed, giant, wide open florets. 
Five times winner of the award ‘‘Cham- 
pion Commercial Type Variety” in 
- Australia. This alone should apprise you 
of its worth. However, we give further 
detail. Foliage and stem deep green. Tall, 
strong and wiry stem holding firmly 6-9 
giant florets open on 18-20 bud, stretchy 
type spike. A massed display of this
