CRINKLE CREAM (Ellis ‘40) 410 Ee R. 
Crinkle Cream is really a light yellow in color. Its ruffling and large size of floret 
makes it a distinct addition to the yellow color group. It opens 4 blooms on average spikes. 
It blooms in mid-season. It propagates satisfactorily and is healthy of bulb and plant. 
CRITERION (Krueger ‘42) 440 1s P; 
This rugged, delicate light pink, when opened from a tight bud cut, is both a criterion 
of beauty and performance. Criterion produces 24” flowerheads on which 6 to 8 five inch 
florets open at one time from its total of 24 buds. It does better than its competitors in un- 
favorable conditions. It blooms a few days later than mid-season. It does not crook. Cri 
terion is a good propagator and a promising cut flower variety. It started its career with the 
American Home Achievement Award. 
DIANE (Krueger ‘39) 422 FE Pe: 
A very consistent orange colored variety with its cream throat and a very dependable 
performer in every respect except in a few areas where the length of its flowerhead is not 
satisfactory. Diane is a very late blooming variety that is extremely free from disease. It 
does not crook. It increases satisfactorily from its small sized bulblets. The repeat orders 
from cut flower producers and its winning record reveal Diane to be a good gladiolus. 
DREAM CASTLE (Lins ‘43) 440 EF H: 
One of best 1943 introductions, for it couples its ability to open many florets with an 
excellent set of field habits. It is a very beautiful variety. Highly recommended. 
DREAM GIRL (Krueger ‘45) 461 I. Pa 
Stock withdrawn from sale for increase. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (White ‘41) 467 re R. 
A ruffled lavender which under exhibition culture produces some marvelous spikes. 
The small throat marks do not detract too much from the beauty of the variety. It opens 7 
to 8 florets at one time. It blooms in mid-season from plants of average height. It does 
its share of winning at the shows. 
ETHEL CAVE COLE (Cave ‘41) 440 re BP) 
This rugged, rapid reproducing light pink offers its bloom in early season. The color, 
as with many varieties that can be cut in bud and opened indoors, is much better than if 
left to bloom in the field. Small stock blooms readily. It is a good cut flower variety. 
EXCLUSIVE (Krueger ‘45) 407 ii: R. 
This very beautiful creamy white with its rose blotch is destined to remain as a nov- 
elty and a fancier’s glad, as well as a parent of potential greats. The floret attachment pre- 
cludes its use as a commercial glad. 
EXEMPLAR (Krueger ‘44) 330 i R. 
The tall vigorous plants of Exemplar with their blue green foliage attract attention 
even before it produces, in late season, its beautiful intensely ruffled salmon pink florets 
with cream throats. It opens 7 to 9 florets of a 4’’ size at one time on a 24” flowerhead of 
20 buds. Exemplar is a prolific propagator and is healthy. It gives promise of serving local 
cut flower markets for the exclusive trade. It is free of crooks. 
FAIR ANGEL (Hatch ‘42) 500 I P 
This glad should make up, on the basis of its quality, the handicap of being introduced 
in the face of widely publicized whites and creams. It opens 6 to 7 six inch creamy white 
blooms in early mid-season. Its ability to win prizes has already been demonstrated in the 
east. It looks promising as a cut flower variety. 
FRANCIS M. IRWIN (Wlson ‘41) 461 F. P. 
The commercial rose group is strengthened by this sterling rose with its deeper rose 
red blotch. It is an early mid-season variety that performs very well. 
FUCHSIA BELLE (Almey ‘45) 462 ES RP: 
The red purple color of this variety, not too startling in the field, is extremely beautiful 
under artificial light. This fact justifies its introduction. 
GOLDEN STATE (Wheeler ‘42) 412 Ae P: 
One of the best yellows and probably the best exhibition yellow. It blooms in late 
mid-season and opens many florets at one time.
