10 GLADIOLUS OF DilS TIN Ct FOw 

MANDALEEN (Lins) A shimmering light 
pink blending to a creamy white throat 
with touch of yellow. The straight, well 
balanced spikes are tall and rangy. Flat 
ruffled florets, 5 inches in diameter. 
Should be one of the good commercials 
in its color. 
L .353; M .25; S .15; Bts. 10 for .35. 
MARION PEARL (Benedict) Large exhibi- 
tion salmon will hold 10 enormous wide 
open florets in perfect form and place- 
ment. Stock of this so scarce the orig- 
inator has had to withdraw it from the 
market this season. Put this down on 
your 1946 want list. If you have any 
for saie, I will be glad to purchase it. 
MARGARET BEATON (Twomey) One of 
the older varieties, lerge white, attrac 
tive orange scarlet blotch. Is none too 
reliable in production of tall spikes, but 
good otherwise. 
L 2 for .15. 
MARGO (Hedgecock) Large formal, early, 
clear apple blossom pink, occasionally 
flecks but not enough to detract from its 
beauty. A very good variety in its sea- 
son, makes lots of jumbo size bulblets 
that grow easily. 
L .25; M .20; S .15; Bts. 10 for .25. 
MID WEST VICTORY (Zimmer) Splendid 
exhibition and commercial gladiolus. 
Deep salmon color, slightly flecked on 
outer edges, which adds to its beauty. 
Blooming in 75 days, it opens seven to 
eight 5% inch florets. Won lst at 2 
major shows in 1943, only times shown. 
L $2.00; M. $1.00; S .50; Bts. .20; 10 for 
$1.60. 
MINSTREL (Palmer) Best lavender to be 
introduced since Elizabeth The Queen 
and the largest of all in this class. 
Color a lavender pink, sometimes fleck- 
ed, but usually clear. Can be easily 
grown to 7 inches and plant grows up to 
5 ft. tall. Minstrel w2s considered most 
beautiful glad in the show in my exhibit 
at Wisconsin State Fair, 1944. This is 
one that everyone will eventually grow. 
L $3.50. 
MISS WISCONSIN (Krueger) One that has 
little competition among the rose pinks. 
It fills a gap in a color class that has 
heretcefore been weak. One spike is 
practically a bouquet in itself, opening 
6 to 8 five inch florets, spikes always 
come straight. Miss Wisconsin is not a 
heavy propagator, but produces a fair 
number. Seems to make most of its 
bulblets late in season. Slow germinator 
but eventually come 100%. Strong, 
healthy grower. 
L. $1.00; M .75; S .50; Bts. & for .50; 100 
for $8.00. 
MISTY DAWN (Rich) Large formal, mid- 
seaon, soft light smoky grey, flaked 
bluish on edges and a subdued orange 
blotch . One of the most beautiful smok- 
ies. Several large well placed blooms 
open on a tall, rangy spike. Good pro- 
pagator and germinator. Best of the 
older smokies. 
L .20; Bts. 20 for .25; 100 for $1.00. 

Mystery 
MYSTERY (Perry Lee Nursery) No longer 
a mystery as it bloomed in the States 
in 1944, and well liked by all. Cool pink 
with touch of rose in the throat. Large
