GLADIOLUS 
““Marguerite’’ 
Originated by Ralph J. Pommert, who 
describes this exquisite Glad: Clear water- 
melon pink, with cream throat. Parentage: 
Picardy x Wurtembergia. 
TALL AND STRAIGHT. Have never seen 
a crooked spike nor a flecked floret. 
STRONG AND STURDY STALK that doe; 
not lay down. Long flower-head that will 
open about the same number as Picardy. 
FLORETS OPEN PERFECTLY when cut 
in the tight bud, and hold their size well 
to the tip. Very atiractive under artificial 
light. 
UNDER GOOD AMATEUR CULTURE it 
has been grown six feet tall, with florets 
in proportion. Early mid-season bloomer. 
A BLUE RIBBON WINNER at many of the 
large eastern shows. End of quotation. 
NOW I'LL ADD MY TWO-BITS’ WORTH. 
If I were allowed to grow just one Glad, the 
chances are I'd choose Marguerite. 
As with Iris, many Glads excel in size 
OR beauty. Difficult to find one that com- 
bines both these prized qualities. But, like 
Elmohr Iris, this Glad, Marguerite, possesses 
BOTH size and beauty.—JD.
