Its bud spike while not quite ideal is not too coarse nor bulky. It 
blooms in small stock size, but with few buds per spike. 
Bonny Jeanne is a mid-season blooming variety that grows to 
a height of four feet. Its flowerhead of 12 to 15 buds is about 18 
inches long, on which 5, five inch blooms, properly faced, open at 
one time. 
Every glad lover of ruffled gladiolus, amateur or commercial, 
will ultimately grow Bonny Jeanne. A vase of this variety made up 
by an expert would be something worth traveling miles to see, and 
the sight would remain as a treasured memory. 
If I, as a hybridist, could rebuild Bonny Jeanne, I would add 
length to its flower head, height to the plant, and make its floret 
attachment more secure, but that is in the making.
