NG OF HEARTS (Salbach 1939). Sold 
under protection of U. S. Patent No. 360, 
Perhaps the largest of all gladiolus and 
yet not the least bit coarse. The individ- 
ual florets measure from 8 to 8% inches 
in diameter. The flower stalks are not 
thick, but are strong and wiry, adding to 
the grace of this fine new variety. The 
plants are vigorous in growth, and tall 
with long flower spikes, often 2% feet long. 
Blooms are of heavy substance, are per- 
fectly placed and as many as eight open 
at once. The color is a light coral red to 
pink. A prominent Eastern grower says: 
“Your King of Hearts produced a swell 
spike; by noon of the second day of the 
show it had 5% blooms open and it was 
stunning. I have a feeling that the size 
and warmth of color of your King of 
Hearts was unquestionably the outstand- 
ing feature of the show the second day, 
and it was plenty stunning the first day.” 
Won first prize at 1942 big Boston show 
for single spike, also first for best two 
spikes, and first for Geo. W. Hunt trophy. 
No small bulbs or bulblets for sale.

SIR GALAHAD (Salbach 1939). Sold under 
protection of U.S. Patent No. 356. A study 
in contrast, for the purity of its soft 
creamy yellow is enhanced by its diamond 
shaped blotch of rich crimson in the deep 
cream colored throat. A pure and perfect 
flower, well named for Galahad, the per- 
fect knight. Florets are large and wide 
open—long flower spike with at least 6 of 
the 18 flowers open at once. Blooms are 
perfectly placed, and are of heavy sub- 
stance. Stems always straight. No other 
gladiolus even resembles Sir Galahad.° 
Won many first prizes, including first 
prize for best single spike amateur class at 
1942 big Boston show. Very striking and 
beautiful, especially under electric light. 
Midseason. No small bulbs or bulblets for 
sale.
