8 NOWETA GARDENS 

LEADING LADY (Johnston) (Midseason) This 
creamy sport of Picardy produced one of the 
finest spikes of the season as shown by the 
picture on page 7. We nominate tall, stately, 
winsome Leading Lady to the gladiolus hall of 
fame. (L. .60; 10-$4.80) (M. .40; 10-$3.20) (S. 
.25; 10-$2.00) Bbts. 5-.40; 100-$5.00. 
LEGEND (Fischer) (Midseason) Tall, fine, and 
wonderfully delicate. Many spikes photogra- 
phically perfect in their broad, massive beauty; 
real show spikes! This warm light pink has a 
happy trait of producing better flowers from 
No. 5 bulbs than many varieties do from No. 
l’s. If you like light pinks, you will surely 
like this one. (L. .25; 10-$2.00) (M. .15; 10- 
$1.20) (S. .10; 10-.80) 
LEONA (Pruitt) (Midseason) One of the best 
deep rose reds on the market; tall, straight, 
and wiry stemmed—dqualities which make it a 
good cutter. (L. 2-.20; 10-.80.) 
LIBERATOR (Baerman) (Midseason) One of the 
most richly colored and most stylishly formed 
scarlets. The blooms are as precisely formed 
as if they were finely moulded and shaped. 
However, under adverse conditions, the color 
sometimes peels. This beautiful glad is deserv- 
ing of more publicity. (L. 2-.30; 10-$1.20) (M. 
2-.20; 10-.80) (S. 4-.20; 10-.50) Bbts. 15-.25; 
100-$1.00. 
MAID OF ORLEANS (Pfitzer) (Early) Standard 
old favorite medium tall milky white com- 
mercial. (L. 10-.65) (M. 10-.35) (S.  10-.25) 
Bbts. .20 pkg. 
MANDALEEN (Lins) (Late midseason) Manda- 
leen is a shimmering light pink blending to a 
creamy white throat that won instant approval 
last summer. Coupled with its color appeal it 
is an excellent performer in every way. Should 
be a florists’ and fanciers’ favorite. Strongly 
recommended. (L. .35) (M. .25) (S. .15) Bbts. 
10-.35. 
MARGARET BEATON (Twomey) (Early midsea- 
son) A rich milky white with a tiny spark of 
vermillion deep in the throat. Reminds one of 
those beautiful white ph!ox with a pink eye. 
Spikes are tall and free from crooking. Takes 
its place in the gladiolus hall of fame. (L. 
2-.20; 10-.80) (M. 3-.25, 10-.60) (S. 6-.25; 10-.35) 
Bbts. .25 pkg. 
MARGARET FULTON (Ogrodnichek) (Early) 
Recommended as one of the best all-around 
glads. Rich salmon cut flower of distinctive 
clean-cut form. (L. 10-.65) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10- 
.25) Bbts .20 pkg. 
MARGUERITE (Pommert) (Midseason) An attrac- 
tive watermelon pink blending to a soft yellow 
throat. Tall and massive. (L. 2-.25; 10-$1.00) 
(M. 2-.20; 10-.60) (S. 4-.20; 10-.40) 
MAXWELTON (Baerman) (Late midseason) Dis- 
tinctive tall large rose with deeper feather in 
the throat. Opens 8 perfectly placed blooms 
on a straight stem. Would be an ideal glad if 
it propagated faster, although it does propagate 
much better now than it did formerly. (L. .35; 
10-$2.80) 

Autumn Gold produced much better florets and 
coloring than Vassar. A little taller and larger 
with deeper peach edging. Its placement was poor 
but of excellent commercial value. Texture fine.

We certainly have enjoyed the lovely glads we 
have had this summer from the nice, disease 
free bulbs we got from you. Snowsprite, Red 
Plush, and China Maid are all very lovely.—D. L.
