1945 INTRODUCTION

RED RASCAL 
no other 
This new red gladiolus can best be 
deseribed as ae glorified Dr. Bennett. 
Color about one shade darker than 
Intruder by the same originator. It has a 
small white midrib, towards the throat. It 
blooms in about 85 to 90 days, opening ‘7

to 20, with plant growing overall to a 
height of 52 to 58 inches. Health and de- 
pendability, good. I feel sure this new re- 
lease of Dr. Graff’s will become as popular 
as its contemporary, Intruder. 
Priced $5.00 for any size bulb... No Bulblets.
