FRAGRANT GLADIOLUS —— WHY NOT? 
Perhaps you have been perfectly satisfied with the ethereal beauty of America’s 
favorite flower, ‘THE GLADIOLUS,” without considering how much more exquisite 
it would be, if it had fragrance. 
Certainly if fragrance were added THE MODERN GLADIOLUS would be super- 
ior in every respect. WELL. . FRAGRANCE HAS BEEN ADDED. 
YES, You can now have the plorious beauty of the GLADIOLUS combined with a 
delicate fragrance different from that of any other flower. 
These new and modern GLADIOLUS have real beauty and refinement. They 
grow tall and straight, and open four to eight or more flowers at a time, measuring 
four to six inches in diameter. They are indeed a great.addition to any garden and 
an inspiration to grow. You will be proud of them. THEY ARE SUPERIOR IN 
EVERY RESPECT.

410 GOLDEN FRAGRANCE Lantz 46 70 5 5.00 4.00 3.00 1— .50 
Very beautiful light ruffled yellow. Opens 5 medium, large 4” to 5” florets on 
a medium tall spike. Healthy foliage, 16 buds with 4 to 5 showing color. This 
variety is intensely fragrant and a vase or basket in a room is really delightful. It 
has created a lot of favorable comment wherever shown, and won a first in its class, 
in the recent introduction showing at Binghamton Show in 1946. I have had plenty 
with 6 florets open this past summer. Florists love it for its delightful color, good 
, substance and keeping quality. 
400 FRILLED FRAGRANCE Ellis 43 2.00 1.50 
A sport of New Era. White with cream overcast. Quite ruffled, four to five inch 
florets, with a very delicate fragrance, similar to that of a lemon verbena... Tall 
straight grower, and a good. propigator. Beautiful color combined with fragrance 
should give it added value to hybridizers. Stock scarce. 
462 DIADEM Lines 46 80 10.00 10.00 1—1.00 
This glad rates very high in comparison with other modern gladiolus. It grows 
43’ to 5’ tall, always straight, opens to eight 43”” to 5/” florets with 5 or 6 buds 
showing color. Furthermore it has that beautiful light, orchid-rose color every- 
one loves So well. It has a delicate fragrance all its own which increases definitely 
as the flower continues to open and after cutting. I look for this to become very 
popular as an exhibition and as a commercial variety, and as a very fine home 
garden flower. It is healthy, propagates reasonably fast, and is definitely superior 
in every respect. It won fist prize for me in its class at Binghamton Show in 1946. 
Stock: Scarce and limited.
