SPRINGTIME. An outstanding new sport of Picardy, like Picardy in all its qualities, except 
coloring, which we describe as ‘‘Appleblossom pink.’’ This is one of the finest of the many 
Picardy sports, the “tip” bloom, that is the very tip end buds, that open, and with most 
varieties fade in color, are just reversed with this variety, as these ‘‘tip blooms” INTEN- 
SIFY in rich deep coloring, much deeper than the original bloom, and while nearly all the 
bulbs of the many sports of Picardy are exactly the same identical color and shape of 
Picardy bulbs, with ‘‘Springtime’’ the bulbs are also the same with the exception of pink 
coloring diffused in the yellow flesh color of the Picardy bulbs. Large bulbs, each $8.00; 
Medium, $6.00; Small, $4.00.

ROYAL GARNET (R. HARING). Introduced last season, under the name of ‘‘Rubaiyat” but 
later changed to ROYAL GARNET to comply with N. E. G. S. Nomenclature. (Morocco 
X Picardy) Much like Picardy, in growth, propagation and performance, the coloring is a 
deep, showy and brilliant dark red, or rather deep red, try to visualize a “Red Picardy”’ as 
early as 62 days from planting large bulbs. IT WON at the 1944 Wisconsin show AS 
BEST 1944 INTRODUCTION; shown and grown by Mr. J. R. Hopkins, Planted June the 
18th, and exhibited August the 19th, or a total of SIXTY TWO (62) DAYS from plant- 
ing. We also had a request for 1000 fot quotations from one of the larger Florida 
Gladiolus cut flower growers, who planted 10 bulbs, Large bulbs, $4.00 each or 3 for 
$9.60 prepaid. No bulblets. 

BULBLETS: Planted in May and the photograph taken in September 1937. Measuring 
from the ground to the tips of the leaves of these plants most of them are from three 
- to three and one-half feet long. 
« 
The large gladiolus plants, shown above are not the product of bulbs, not even “baby bulbs” they were 
grown, in about 5 months from bulblets, (cormels) which average some 5000 to 6000 to the quart. No 
irrigation was used on this field. (We grow “Young Bulbs”). We have been bulblet propagators 
nearly 30 years.
