GOLDEN TETON : : SILVERY TETON 
AND MODERN GLADS 
Gage T. Holloway (1944) Henry, Nebraska 
Give fools their gold and knaves their power; 
Let fortune’s bubbles rise and fall; 
Who sows a field or trains a flower, 
Or plants a tree, is more than all. 
—John Greenleaf Whittier. 
We sincerely appreciate the fine business our good customers and many friends 
have given us which reflects the unpresidented growth we have enjoyed and it is grati- 
fying to know we have not fallen down in our effort to please you. 
The very best of “Flowers” is our wish during this epochal year 
And nothing like the modern “Gladiola’”’ to give us the needed cheer. 
At last in sheer beauty and greatness they have come to their own 
And surely the “National Flower” should be in every’ garden and home.

fled salmon pink with white median lines, and a cream yellow throat. The substance 
is very good. It will open seven to nine florets at one time something to be desired in 
a gladiolus whether for the show bench or the florist. Its habits and beauty make it 
a good commercial. . re
