Descriptive Price List 
ALADDIN (532) (Palmer) (Midseason) Large 
beautifully ruffled deep salmon with cream 
blotch. This year Aladdin was very beau- 
tiful for us. Oftimes it is inclined to grow 
short from the ground to the first floret, al- 
though it throws a long flowerhead. (L 3-.25; 
10-.65 (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. Pkg. .20. 
ALGONQUIN (436) (Palmer) (Early Midseason ) 
One of our favorite bright scarlet commercials. 
Opens 8 wide open blooms on a straight stem. 
We had some mighty nice Algonquin last sum- 
mer during dry weather. (L 2-.20; 10-.80) (M 
4-.25; 10-.50) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .25 pkg.

sider this the best early pure white commercial.

.35) Blbts. Pkg. .20. 
ARETHUSA (416) (Fischer) (Early) A headliner 
in the pastel shades, closest to buff in color 
value. A large and consistently tall vigorous 
grower, with an almost unbelievably intense 
frilling. Last summer we grew several hundred 
of show-spike calibre, almost everyone down 
the row. Was within 12 point of being the 
three-spike grandchampion at Ames, Iowa last 
summer by the able scoring of J. Elton Carter. 
A very beautiful gladiolus that should be 
planted early for best results. One of the best 
breeders. Sets seed readily. Offering an im- 
proved strain. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) 
ASOKA (450) (Fischer) (Early) A bright tall 
red seedling of ours that we are using as an 
early cut flower. Opens 4 or 5 well placed 
blooms. (L 10-.65) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. 
Pkg. .20. 
ATHLONE (406) (B. Palmer) (Early Midseason) 
A beautiful precise, light buff somewhat paler 
than Duna in color. Opens a goodly number of 
florets in a formal double row arrangement. 
Some people like all their glads ruffled but 
what more could you ask in color and style? 
(L $1.00; 10-$8.00) (M .75; 10-$6.00) 
AUTUMN GOLD (412) (Prestagard) (Late) Richly 
colored golden yellow is gaining in popularity 
every year. It is being grown extensively as a 
late cut flower. One of the most richly colored 
glads in this list. Aptly named. Medium in 
height but can be cut to the ground without 
injuring foliage. One of our best sellers. (L 
Ne cakins (M 2-.15; 10-.60) (S 10-.35) Bblts. 
100-.30. 
AVALON (440) (Marshall) (Midseason) In Avalon 
we have a combination of vigor, height, color 
and many open, but an unhappy habit, like 
New Era, of openness of flowerhead. Nine 5- 
inch florets blooming on a 25-inch flowerhead 
would be typical blooming habits of this va- 
riety. (L .20; 10-$1.60) (M .15; 10-$1.20) S .10; 
10-.80) Blbts. 10-.15; 100-.75.

yellow that is one of first to bloom. Was rather 
oon for us last summer. (L .75) Blbts. 4-.25; 
BADGER BEAUTY (466) (Krueger) (Midseason) 
A tall clear lavender that is rapidly gaining in 
popularity. Would that it opened a few more 
and had _ heavier substance. A reliable cut 
flower. (L .20; 10-$1.60) (M -15; 10-$1.30) (S 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN -10; 10-.80) Blbts. 10-.15; 100-$1.20.
