: 4 / 7 ; / THAT ARE 
an ACLOLUS OUTSTANDING 
There are many outstanding varieties of gladiolus, the ever popular variety Picardy 
being the outstanding favorite of all. We have selected six varieties which in our 
estimation are the most outstanding new introductions of the past four or five years. 
Among these we wish to call particular attention to the variety Corona which is a white 
Picardy with a petal margin of pink. 
These six varieties have been selected from a list of over sixty new varieties that 
have been shown and have won awards since 1938. They truly represent the cream, and 
it is very regrettable that we are unable to picture them all in full color. 
CHAMOUNY. This is one of those odd varieties that capture the eye of the flower fancier. It is ex- 
quisitely beautiful. New low price: 3 for 55c; 10 for $1.50; $14.00 per 100. 
GRETA GARBO. Illustrated in color on page 49. This variety attained immediate popularity on 
its introduction three years ago. The flowers are huge. The color a delightful pale opal-pink. 
New reduced price: 3 for 85c; 10 for $2.55; $23.50 per 100. 
MARGARET BEATON. Really not a new variety but still outstanding. Fully illustrated in color 
on page 49. One of the most highly rated gladiolus at the present time. The new price puts 
them in the reach of everyone. 3 for 55c; 10 for $1.50; $15.00 per 100. 
CORONA. Iilustrated in color on page 50. A perfect replica of the variety Picardy at its best in 
shape, size, form and substance, also habit of growth. The color is a creamy white in the center 
shading to pure white toward the edge of the petal, and each floret is surmounted by a corona 
: of pale pink. The keeping qualities of this beautiful variety are phenomenal. We believe that 
Corona will become as popular as Picardy. Price: 3 for $1.00; 10 for $3.00; $27.50 per 100. 
HIGH FINANCE. A breathtaking variety producing one of the most beautiful spikes of flowers. 
The color is almost indescribable, being a smoky light orange-gray with a cream throat blotch. 
A study of the photograph will show the perfect form of the entire flower. The florets are 7 
inches in diameter, and the length of the spike 29 inches. The average height of the stem is 
5 to 6 feet tall, and if well grown they can reach a height of 7 feet. This variety will win more 
wet eee any variety that will be shown for the next few years to come. Price: 3 for $2.25; 
or $6.75. 
PINK PARAGON. Illustrated in color on page 50. Introduced by us last year. It is one of the most 
outstanding clear pink gladiolus ever introduced. It is perfect in form and substance, making it a 
pleted keeper. The color is preferred by many to Picardy. Price: 3 for 85c; 10 for $2.75; $22.50 
per 5 
GLAMIS. An outstanding huge ruffled pink with cream throat. This variety is a consistent exhibi- 
tion prize winner. 3 for $1.00; 10 for $3.00; $28.50 per 100.
