Modern Ribbons of Color 

“ | 
Featuring KELS Fy” (Yates-Ruehr '46) 
THE AIR EXPRESS GLAD 
The florist, the commercial grower, and the fan’s gladiolus. The beauty 
of this flower is best described as a glistening light salmon pink, blending 
to a clear cream vellow throat. Modern color qualities which give instant 
appeal and assure its position in the gladiolus family. 
A healthy form sport of Picardy that grows tall and opens 7 to 9 giant 
6-inch ruffled florets. When cut tightly in bud the florets will open to the 
tip. Grand Champion and Most Beautiful at Ottawa, Illinois, in 1945. 
mee Recent Introduction and Reserve Champion at Ottawa, Ontario, Can- 
ada, in 1946. 
You will eventually grow Kelsey and Silver Wings like you are now 
growing Leading Lady in quantity. Picardy sports of quality.

SUMMER GAL (Zimmer ’44) 
A large geranium pink with a rose feather in the throat. Ruffled, non- 
fiecking, 6-inch florets on a tall spike. Opens up to 10 of the 18 to 20 
buds. No tendency to crook, bulblet production and germination are 
excellent. Has great commercial possibilities and is hard to beat on the 
show table. I like the three varieties mentioned on this page and highly 
recommend them to you.

Yes, I am giving these three varieties a page again this year. If you 
attended the Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Show or the Binghampton, New 
York Show last August, you will know why I think so highly of these 
three varieties. They are tops in their class for show and commercials, 
and it will be a long time before they will be challenged. They bloom’ 
from bulblets and really like to grow. It is a pleasure to own one of 
the best stocks of these gladiolus. ' 
Note: There are some other eae oe I list which I would like to include 
on this page, but space is limited so please check the General List care- 
fully. It is an alphabetical listing of all the varieties I grow. I should be 
glad to know how my gladiolus grow for you.
