RED CHARM (Butt ‘39) 452 | BP: 
Red Charm in crimson red is an outstanding introduction both for the exhibitor and 
the cut flower producer because of its excellent habit and consistent performance. It blooms 
in mid-season. There is a good reason why sellers are not anxious to over-sell the stocks 
of Red Charm. 
RED RASCAL (Graff ‘45) 450 18 ie 
Added bloom of this fine red made me more certain that my original high opinion of 
it was well founded. It is an excellent propagator and a promising cut flower variety. 
ROSE O’ DAY (Fischer ‘44) 466 E. i 
Lavender rose best describes the color of this new introduction. A color midway 
between that of Ballad and Miss Wisconsin. The color is a desirable one from the florist’s 
point of view. 
SHOW QUEEN (Krueger ..43) 530 be, iP 
This salmon colored large flowered variety will open 6 to 10 large florets on a model 
spike of 20 buds and 24” length. It will earn*its name as stock attains a wider dissemina- 
tion. It is not a commercial prospect because of a percentage of crooked spikes. It is a late 
variety that is very prolific. 
SILVER WINGS (Ritsema ‘44) 500 ib Hi: 
A sport of Picardy that is whiter and more ruffled than its sister sport, Leading Lady. 
It is an excellent variety for the fan and for the trade.

The most beautiful yellow colored glad that has a bright red blotch. It grows tall

is excellent.

tracts attention wherever shown.

The deepest yellow gladiolus that bloomed here at Reliance Gardens. This fact to- 
gether with its floret size and earliness make Van Gold a great commercial glad.

A white of the shade of Annamae. Not as early as that variety but with larger florets 
and with more open florets. 
VARIATION (Krueger ‘41) 340 Fi P. 
Cut flower producers with !ocal outlets should secure this light pink of medium size 
that blooms in early season. Variation opens 6 to 19 florets on tall spikes. It propagates 
rapidly and is freer of crooks. It is an unusually healthy variety, although its bulbs look 
rough because of its thin husk. Stock will not recover from last year’s sell-out for some 
time.

The pale cream color of Vee Cream with its fiery blotch and its large floret size should

tor producers of cut glads with local outlets. Excellent in basket work.
