THREE INTRODUCTIONS 
have not been bloomed by us but for one or more reasons 
have come to us with exceptional 
recommendations 
w 
COVENTRY (Class 511) 
Here is a new rich yellow in the 511 class with 
a contrasting feather of carmine. This will give 
Sir Galahad some real competition. Opens 6-8 
beautiful florets which are nicely waved and 
will measure a full 514 inches. Grows 55 inches 
tall with a flowerhead of 18 buds. A fast 
propagator. Was Grand Champion basket at 
Hamilton, Ontario, in both 1944 and 1946. A 
fair stock of bulbs enables this variety to be 
introduced at a very reasonable price. 
PRICES: 
Large, 22. ere, $2.50  Medium...... $1.50 
Smathicscsuee uad $1.00 _ Bulblets. . 10—$1.75 
ROSEGLOW (Klein) 
A seedling of Carillon x Caesar. Brilliant 
Neyron Rose with a complete absence of fleck- 
ing. ‘The color is, therefore, clean and spark- 
ling and is most appealing. It is a very strong, 
healthy grower, which produces tall spikes 
(60 inches) which do not crook under the hot- 
test weather conditions. There are 17-19 buds 
and of this 5 six-inch florets will open at once, 
nicely frilled and with good placement. 
Not only will this variety produce spikes of 
exhibition quality but it will be a very popu- 
lar variety with florists, as it is a most useful 
color. It also produces a very high percentage 
of usable spikes and it is possible to go down 
the row and get an armful as the plants seem 
to flower all at once. It is a good propagator 
and the bulblets grow to good size bulbs the 
first year. 
This variety has been approved in the test 
gardens of the Canadian Gladiolus Growers 
Council. 
PRICES: Any size bulb. .$3.00 each. No bulblets 
THEMESONG (Klein) 
Picardy x Burma. This variety is an unusual 
color, being a mild purple with a Cyclamen 
purple blotch, which gives it a very distinc- 
tive and unusual appearance. It produces 
(55 to 60 
inches). The florets are nicely ruffled and 
straight spikes of good height 
there are 17 to 19 per spike of which 7 to 8 
will open at once with almost all the rest 
showing color. The placement and attach- 
ment are both excellent. 
This variety is an exceptionally good one 
for exhibition purposes and an outstanding 
florist who saw this variety in bloom this 
year states quite definitely that it will be 
most useful and popular as a commercial! 
variety. Themesong is an exceptionally fine 
new color combination and one that will set 
a new standard. 
This, too, has been approved in the test 
gardens of the Candian Gladiolus Growers 
Council. |
