| Ranger (Vaughan). Formerly Commando. One of 
| wwthe rarest of gladiolus colors is dark red. Few 
_ varieties of this color have been bred which meet 
all round requirements, including exhibition size 
and quality, vigor of growth in the field, and ease 
_ of propagation. Perhaps the best to this time has 
been the Pfizter creation, Commander Koehl, and 
ur 1943 introduction Ranger is in every respect an 
_ improvement over this. 
In color, Ranger is much the same deep red as 
~ Commander Koehl, possibly half a tone darker. Its 
_ florets are Jarger, more evenly arranged on the stalk, 
and face better. The even self-color continues. in 
_ the throat, without markings. The stalk is among 
the tallest, and grows with exceptional vigor. All 
red gladioli are Known as poor propagators, and 
_ more than one new red has looked fine when first 
introduced, only to deteriorate in a few years. 
_ Ranger is one of the best propagators we have seen 
among the reds, and having it under observation 
_for several years we are confident it will take a 
permanent place as leader in its color. Each, 50c; 
doz., $5.00.
