JOURNEY’S END (Kadel). The happy blend of two great glads, Picardy x 
Pfitzer’s Triumph. Opens 5 to 6 six-inch florets with 5 additional buds showing color 
on a 19 bud spike. The color is a deep salmon pink, blending to a deeper throat and to 
lighter petal margins. It will win on the show table. Winner of many awards. 
MARION PEARL (Benedict) (Pearl of California x Picardy). This large formal 
type gladiolus is light salmon in color shading to a lighter throat, without markings. 
It opens up to nine florets at a time on a 55-inch spike which does not crook and which 
carries from 18 to 21 buds. It has wide open, somewhat ruffled, six-inch florets which 
stand heat well. Because of the size of the fiorets and the large number open it has 
great possibilities as a show flower. 
MOTHER KADEL (Kadel) (Picardy x Spray of Gold). Medium yellow, slightly 
deeper in color than Mary Damaris. Entirely clear self color without marking or the 
slightest bit of foreign color even in its deepest throat. Opens 5 to 7 florets with 5 
additional buds showing color. It makes a tall spike which does not crook. Placement 
and attachment are excellent. When cut it opens up well and is a good keeper. It is 
the best commercial cut flower yellow that we have seen. (90 days.) 
PINK RADIANCE (Quackenbush) (Picardy x Minuet). Pure light pink, without 
marking except a very inconspicuous touch of carmine deep in the throat. Six to eight 
wide open florets of good size on a tall spike which never crooks. The spike is grace- 
ful. Excellent placement and attachment. Sixteen to eighteen buds. It is a vigorous 
grower, producing plenty of bulblets which germinate well. An excellent variety for 
show purposes and, in our opinion, it is the best commercial cut flower variety that we 
have seen. The blooming period is 85 to 90 days. 
PIONEER (LaSalle). Deep salmon pink, blending to a cream throat. Grows 
easily 5% feet tall, 6-inch blooms, formal placement with 6 to 8 open on an 18 bud 
spike. Always straight. Plant very large with wide, heavy foliage. Most large glads 
are inclined to be coarse, but this variety has refinement and a very beautiful clean 
color. Makes large bulblets which germinate readily and grow to more than average 
size. Midseason. 
VOODOO (Kadel) (Picardy x Pfitzer’s Triumph) X Bagdad. A very large in- 
tensely ruffled and fluted smoky plum colored variety that can win in its class. A close 
examination shows the color to be violet red etched on a cream background. However, 
the general impression as you stand off and look at the flower is that it is plum color. 
It opens 6 or 7 blooms at a time. It is a tall strong grower which produces plenty of 
bulblets that germinate well. The bottom floret measures 6 inches and it holds its 
size well as it blooms up the spike. It blooms in from 75 to 83 days after planting. 
If you like smokies or if you want to show in the smoky class you should try this 
variety.
