GOLDSTAUB (412) (Gold Dust) (Pfitzer) (Early) 
No early cutflower collection is complete with- 
out Goldstaub. It is very early. Blooms very 
freely, and is an excellent shipper. Fine deep 
color and very prolific. (L 10-.65 (M 10-.40) 
(S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
GRATITUDE (424) (Fischer) (Early Midseason) 
Gratitude may best be described as a greatly 
improved Barcarole, resembling it mostly in 
color, being practically the same hue. Gratitude 
is heavy substanced, fancily ruffled and very 
tall, comparing with the famed King Lear for 
stretchiness of spikes. It is a salmon-orange 
with a sharp yellow throat blotch. Opens 5-6, 
51o-inch floret on tall, strong, wire-like stems 
and blooms as well from small bulbs as some 
varieties do from large. Placement is not al- 
ways perfect. Growing habits are gratifying. 
A high order of beauty and a delightful basket 
flower. I consider Gratitude a sure commercial 
and one of my best. During some very dry 
weather last summer, the florets were somewhat 
smaller than usual; however, it is one of the 
most robust growers in existence. What plants! 
Very prolific. Makes the plumpest, highest 
crowned bulbs in the entire list. Large bulbs 
are like baseballs. (L 1-$1.50; 10-$12.00) (M 1- 
$1.25; 10-$10.00) (S 1-$1.00; 10-$8.00) Blbts. 2- 
.25; 12-$1.00. 
GRETA GARBO (440) (Pfitzer) (Midseason) A 
pleasing color combination of pale apricot or 
buff pink. Opens 5 or 6 perfectly formed, finely 
placed flowers on a medium tall stem. Healthy 
grower and a rapid propagator.’ (L 3-.25; 10- 
.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
HAWKEYE RED (450) (Heaton) (Midseason) A 
really outstanding red of last summer’s bloom- 
ing. Tall stately spikes of a rich glowing color. 
Plants are unusually healthy and _ vigorous. 
Even No. sixes produced s*Jeable spikes. One 
of my favorite reds! (L 1-.75; 10-$6.00) (M I1- 
.50; 10-$4.00) (S 1-.25; 10-$2.00) Blbts. 12-.50; 
100-$3.00. 
HEAVENLY WHITE (400) (Moses) (Early) The 
white sport of Rosa van Lima. Just like its 
parent except a cool sparkling white. Very 
prolific. (L 1-.75; 10-$6.00) (M 1-.50; 10-$3.50) 
(S 1-.25; 10-$2.00) Blbts. 12-.25; 100-$2.00. 
INVICTUS (441) (Pacific Bulb Co.) (Early) 
Though classified as a light pink by the North 
American Gladiolus Classification Committee, 
Invictus is a blotched white to the florist. Not 
as refined as Margaret Beaton, it nevertheless 
fills a definite need as an early cutter. The 
white suffuses into a vivid pink toward the 
heart of the flower, climaxed by a large scarlet 
ayo Tall grower. Recommended. L._ .35; 
10-33. 
JEANIE (430) (Pruitt) (Midseason) A clear-cut 
and distinct medium pure pink with a golden 
throat. Good tall grower. A great cutflower. 
Everyone loves Jeanie! (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 
10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .25 Pkg. 
JOHAN VAN KONYNENBERG (536) (Konynen- 
berg) (Midseason) This came highly recom- 
mended by the originator as the coming red. 
Has yet to establish that reputation with us, 
not having fully tested it as yet. Color was 
good, a bright orange scarlet. (L 1-$4.00) Blbts. 
1-.50; 10-$4.00. 
JUNIOR MISS (430) (Canine) (Midseason) Junior 
Miss combines stature, beauty and vigor. Re- 
minded me of New Era though not as refined. 
A full double spike as straight as ram-rods. A 
likely commercial. Not as good as a year ago. 
(L. 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts.
