The Picardy 88 is for finest I havecever seen - but nothing 
like it has been on show table for two yearse Picardy, grown tops, 
is still the king of all glads for beautye W. R. Reader, popular 
in Canada is truly good-a big 6 in. deep salmon with white throat 
slightly ruffled-a fine spikee Genghis Khan getting better-ruffled 
lovely florets. Ogarita a big bold.one, sort of daring and some= 
times sprawly but a long fine flower head. I think Phoebe can 
beat it - though similar. Junior Miss is grand in 400 olass- 
another deep pink with white throat, ruffled and nice procession 
of florets, opens 8~ Birmingham Beauty is another pink with white 
center-very goods Neils Jensen has 6 in. floret and opens 8 and a 
fine flower. Tara is like Wings of Song without the blue in petals 
and very promising. In 300 class Jean Hoxie opens 10-11 and may 
be better than Intrepid for most opene

Intruder is one of the best scarlets - a big, fine performing, 
splendid spike. Flagship is equally good-with conspicuous white 
blotoh and simply tremendous spike with 8-65 in. flowers opene 
Blaze (Marshall) is a big sensational scarlet with cream yellow 
blotch that pleases surprisingly and has long winning record in 
Canada. Mercury was very good-a self scarlet-of live, fine colores 
Globe Trotter is fine Pfitzer variety-with lighter center-looks 
like good performer and makes orderly good looking spike. The 
others are also all good-each capable of wiminge Katght Errant 
has lighter center and can open 10.

In this class with so many very beautiful glade EVERY one list- 
ed is capable of being rated up to 82. The 79s especially-may ary 
of them, in the 400 class-hit 82 next year. Eglantine stands out 
as perhaps the most beautiful of all gladiolus-an enormous, ruffle, 
pink with some cream - flat 7% inch florets - opening 7 - a grand 
spike. Bengasi is light pink with deeper edges-about 6 in. florots 
fine placement-tall and good. How the color will ear I dont know 
but it made a fine first impression its first year. Legend is 
right up there - a exquisitly beautiful oombination of 1t. pink 
and 1t. cream. Fort Ti and Titan did not have good years so look 
to next year to really place them. Rosa Van a, grown by every= 
body, is one of three finest 400 lt. pinks. Greta Garbo had a gran 
year and a newer variety Normandie, appears to beat them both and 
be capable of grand championship spikes. Of the new ones, Saluta- 
tion is grand spike. Lovely Lady fron Canada is another fine per- 
former and beautiful spike. Connecticut Yankee is model spike but 
color appeal is lacking. Not too cleanse Ivy Robertson may belong 
in 400 class but is grand stretchy one over one glad of very 
lovely color and has long record of winnings in Canadas

Among the 8 varieties above, over 5s in. florets, California

ita also. Marion Pearl did not have a good year. It will take 
another year to find out.her rating. Margaret Marie is the fin~ 
est ruffled pink there is - 45 in. florets, 8 open. Summer Gal is 
a beauty-looking forward to growing moree Lord Athlone is promis= 
ing-and may be even better. Rosy Morn by Marshall is deep pink 
with lighter center and close to best in class. Wolverine State is 
another Maier good one - a pink with red center. New Zealand 
Splendor is truly fine. And be sure to grow the two in the 300 
class-both are grand-especially our beloved Jeannie.

Algonquin came big this year so is rightly classed. Red Fox and

They had to be good to beat fine King Click which is really goode 
Major de Jarnette and Buena Vista are both fine new reds = Colcha 
continues to be good = one of Scheer's best - though not in his

big spike, florets more pointed-opens 5-6, Of the others some do 
better one season, others in other seasons. Black Diamond has the 
advantage of giving uniform good spikes with a lovely color and 
not so drab as most blacks - a color which goes with no others - 
at least not to write home aboute Black Magic appears unhealthy- 
if so its too bad as it is fine when goode
