Descriptive Price List 
ABU HASSAN (378) (Konynenberg) (Midseason) 
Abu Hassan came recommended as a greatly 
improved Pelegrina, which is just waht it is. 
It produces tall spikes for cutting. One or two 
spikes of this deep rich violet blue glad added 
to a mixed bouquet seems to enhance the 
colors of all the rest. A great future is predict- 
ed for this worthy addition to the gladiolus 
color circle. It is a moderate propagator with 
us, but produces large bulblets. (L 1-.40; 10- 
3.50) (Blbts 10-.35; 100-$2.50) 
ALGONQUIN (436) (Palmer) (Early Midseason) 
One of our favorite bright scarlet commercials. 
Opens 8 wide open blooms on a straight stem. 
We had some mighty nice Algonquin last sum- 
mer from small bulbs. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10- 
.40) (S 10-.25) (Bibts. Pkg. .20) 
ANNAMAE (400) (Pommert) (Early) We con- 
sider this the best early pure white commercial. 
Blooms a week before Maid of Orleans or Snow 
Princess. Straight stem and good placement. 
(L 2-.20; 10-.80) (M 3-.25; 10-.50) (S 4-.20; 10- 
.35) (Blbts. Pkg. .20) 
ARETHUSA (416) (Fischer) (Early) A headliner 
in the pastel shades, closest to buff in color 
value. A large and consistently tall vigorous 
grower, with an almost unbelievably intense 
frilling. One of the very earliest to bloom and 
a very valJuable cut flower for that reason. We 
cut quantities of superb spikes early last sum- 
mer. A year ago we had quantities of beauti- 
ful pink Arethusa sports that were distinct 
enough to be named. This summer thev were 
all like the original, an example of how 
temperamental varieties can be sometimes. A 
very beautiful gladiolus that should be planted 
early for best results. One of the best breeders. 
Sets seed readily. Offering an improved strain. 
Don’t miss Arethusa, one of the best in this list. 
(L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) (Blblits. 
Pkg. .20) 
ASTRID (460) (Jack) (Midseason) A new rose 
similar to Rose Delight by the same originator. 
Probably a little larger but with more distract- 
ing throat lines. Will probably succeed as a 
commercial. (L 1-$3.00) (Blbts. 1-.25; 10-$2.00) 
AUTUMN GOLD (412)(Fischer)(Late) This richly 
colored golden yellow is gaining in popularity 
every year. It is being grown extensively as a 
late cut flower. One of the most richly colored 
glads in this list. Aptly named. Medium in 
height but can be cut to the ground without 
injuring foliage. One of our best sellers. (L 
pine 10-.70) (M 10-.49) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. 
AVALON (440) (Marshall) (Midseason) Avalon 
was one of our mainstays in light pink cut 
flowers last season—a very pleasing shade of 
pink. Seems to be winning its way as a com- 
mercial. Recommended. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 
10-.40) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .20) 
BADGER BEAUTY (466) (Krueger) (Midseason) 
A tall clear lavender that is rapidly gaining in 
popularity. Would that it opened a few more 
and had heavier substance. Severely plain but a 
reliable cut flower that opens up exceptionally 
well in water. (L 2-.35; 10-1.20) (M 10-.80) (S 
10 -.40) (Blbts. .30 a pkg.) 

“Last spring I ordered some glad bulbs from ‘ 
you. Among them were 250 mixed size No. 3. I - 
just want you to know how lovely that mixture ‘ y 
turned out to be. Everyone was an old friend q 1 
and so large and beautiful. I shall want more é 
bulbs from you next season and can recommend 
Noweta Gardens to anyone.’’—Cora Beard, Iowa. ARETHUSA
