BLACK OPAL (Australian). After having 
grown this variety for several years, we 
are inclined to place Black Opal at the 
top of the list of the dark reds. Not 
quite as dark as Moorish King or Ara- 
bella, but a very rich dark red, that pro- 
duces fine long spikes of large well placed 
blooms. A splendid grower and a good 
increaser—in fact, has all the good quali- 
ties that go to make a high-class gladi- 
olus. Award of Merit, British Gladiolus 
Society. Mid-season.
