medium size with 6-8 showing color. 24-26 bud total. Petals, are recurved. 
Height of plant, 54-56 inches. Good shipper and propagator. At the N.E.G.S. 
trial grounds in Washington, QUEEN CHARLOTTE scored 85% which is very 
good rating. For those who want the long spikes with many open and one that 
will be Grand Champion of many shows in the next few years, this is it. 
Priced: Any size bulb, $10.00. No bulblets. 
ROSEGLOW (Klein) (Carillon X Caesar)—Brilliant Neyron Rose with complete 
absence of flecking. The color is, therefore, clean and sparkling. It is a very 
strong, healthy grower, which produces tall spikes (60 inches) which do not 
crook under the hottest weather conditions. There are 17-19 buds and 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 popular 
variety with the florists, as it has 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 sized bulbs the first year. This variety has been ap- 
proved in the test gardens of the Canadian Gladiolus Growers Council.

crooks, with an overall spike measurement of 54 inches. Strong, healthy bulbs, 
with bulblet production and germination excellent. A mid-season bloomer. This 
is Mrs. Ayers’ first introduction and, while we have not seen this variety, do not 
hesitate to get back of it to the limit as Mrs. Ayers ‘really knows her glads.” A 
major portion of the better new varieties can always be found in her garden the 
first year of release, and now thet she has come out with an introduction of her 
own, we have a right to expeci something that will be a “stand out.” Named in 
honor of “Sioux City’s Sue”, Miss Gayle Jean Hofstad. 
Priced: Large or medium bulb with 5 bulblets, $5.00. 
SPIC AND SPAN (Carlson-Puerner)—-SPIC AND SPAN has created a sensation

shade between salmon and pure pink, make imposing specimens admired by fans 
and sought for by florists. Its consistent performance and easy propagation make 
it a desirable commercial variety. Its record on the show table speaks for the 
quality and represents too lengthy a list of winnings to mention here.
