spring. A good stock of large bulbs allows us to price this at $1.50 each or 3 
for $4.00. Special price to Wholesalers, $100.00 per 100, 25 is the minimum 
at this rate. 
Bonneville Rose (F. D. Daines) (Salbach’s Pink x King Arthur) Very ruf- 
fled deep lavender rose. As ruffled as its parent King Arthur but with larger, 
more wide open and much better placement of florets. In color it is a bit more 
lavender than Miss Wisconsin. It carries sixteen buds on a twenty-two inch 
flower head, six open and several lovely buds in color. It performs admirably 
as a cut flower in all respects. It has an abundance of easy to germinate bulb- 
lets, many of them jumbos which always bloom the first year. Won top awards 
in the only two shows it has been exhibited in. Large bulbs only, $5.00 each. 
Beauly Baby (Labrum) (Euides x Unknown) This charming miniature 
is distinctive by the fine placement of 1 inch florets which lay flat, not cup- 
ped or hooded, against a strong, stiff stem. The stem is completely hidden by 
the florets forming a solid band of color. Florets, plain peteled, are of heavy 
texture and present a pearly waxy appearance. The top petals of each floret 
are beautiful white blending to cream throat while the lower petal is a blushed 
cream. Plant grows 48-53 inches tall with strong large leaved foliage. Opens 
4-5 florets with 5-7 showing color on a 15-18 bud spike. A fair producer of 
jumbo size bulblets with good germination. Blooms in 88 days. Beauty Baby 
is unexcelled for corsage work and is an ideal miniature for floral arrange- 
ments. Prices: Large bulbs, $2.00 each; Medium, $1.50 each: Small, $1.00 each: 
Bulblets 20c each: 10 for $1.75: 25 for $3.75. 
Diadem (Lines) This beautiful, fragrant glad in class 462, is a two-toned 
rose, blending in a most attractive way. Opens 6-8, lightly ruffled 5 inch flor- 
ets, firmly attached to a spike of 16-18 buds. In color, it is quite similar to 
Oregon Rose, except it has a cream throat. It is among the earliest to bloom, 
thus adding to its value as a commercial. As far as I Know it is the only fra- 
grant glad that is large enough, beautiful enough, and with enough florets open 
to be in the commercial class. Fragrance is more pronounced after spike is cut 
a day or two, when nearly the whole spike will be fragrant. It is a good ship- 
per and an excellent keeper. Spike is strong and height in the field is 48-52 
inches. Bulblet production fair, germination good. Stock is still scarce and 
the price will remain the same thru 1948. (Originator’s description). Prices: 
Large bulbs Nos. 1-2-3, $10.00 each: Nos. 4-5-6, $7.00 each; Bulblets, $1.00 each, 
but sold only with a bulb order, and a limit of 5 bulbs and 5 bulblets to one 
person this season. 
From Clifford Elliott. 
These two fine glads have been seen at Utah shows and florists’ shops for 
several years. Mr. Elliott, Utah’s foremost Gladiolus Hybridist has produced 
a number of fine creations, Chief Wasatch, Luminosa, Pirate’s Gold, etc. Until 
this year he has reserved these for his own cut flower trade. Because of the 
large stock of Miss Utah, and Sierra Sue, he is releasing these two fine glads 
at very moderate prices this year. This does not mean that they are not of 
the best as he has been consistently winning with them over diseminated varie- 
ties in our Utah shows. These are varieties for the florist as well as the ex- 
hibitor. In his breeding work Mr. Elliott has kept only varieties of commercial 
value.
