1946 TESTIMONIALS 
From Alsea, Oregon 
I have grown gladiolus for several years, 
but I have never seen such large blooms 
or beautiful colors, as yours.

Sir Galahad was very fine for us last sum- 
mer in spite of heat and drouth. In fact 
Salbach’s originations have always per- 
formed well for me, iris and glads alike.

From Commerce, Texas 
Last year I had a few Sir Galahad and 
California that were the greatest glads 
ever grown in this little town. No one 
here had ever seen anything like them. 
¢¢ ¢ 
From Wausau, Wisconsin ’ 
I think your Helen of Troy and Sir Gala- 
had are about the best of your patented 
glads, they are tops, but Candy Heart to 
my eye is about the best glad I have seen, 
it tops them all, and I have 136 varieties 
beside my seedlings.

From Jackson, Mississippi 
The bulbs I bought from you last year 
were the best I’ve ever bought and pro- 
duced the largest blooms of all in my col- 
lection. “Grand Opera’ in my opinion is 
Perfection, as far as gladiolus are con- 
cerned.

From Carlin, Nevada 
I have never enjoyed anything so much, 
or seen anything as beautiful as the glad- 
iolus I had from your stock last year.

From Los Angeles, Calif. 
My gilads, your stock, are very vigorous 
and are doing better than any in the 
neighborhood. 
From Oklahoma 
I had wonderful luck with the glads I got 
from you. Entered five in our show and 
got three blue and two red ribbons. but 
had even better blooms later. Helen of 
Troy was selected as the best in the show. 
From Ballarat, Victoria, Australia 
June Bride and Sir Galahad did wonder- 
fully well. In the 18 blooms I put up for 
championship in our show, I had a lovely 
Sir Galahad. I won the cup. 
So ve . 
From Ceres, Calif. : 
Where the summers are dry and warm. 
Have just cut the last of my glads. Candy 
Heart was especially tall and stately: 
they gave us continued pleasure for weeks 
and weeks.

This is to certify that this photo of Grand 
Opera grown in Fultonville, N. Y., was 6 
feet 74% inches tall, with flowers 8 inches 
in diameter.

From Stockton, Calif. 
California withstood the heat best of all 
my gladiolus.

From Phoenix, Arizona 
This year Helen of Troy was breath tak- 
ing in its beauty.

From Illinois 
Miss New Zealand produced the largest: 
blooms, Elizabeth the Queen was the most 
beautiful and produced as high as four 
spikes from one bulb.

From LaCrosse, Washington 
I want to thank you for the magnificent 
collection of bulbs you sent to me. My 
neighbors can scarcely believe that such 
flowers can be grown in this hot dry 
climate.

From Alabama 
We so enjoyed our “glads,”’ especially 
Candy Heart. They were immense and so 
lovely in coloring.

From Saskatoon, Sask., Canada 
Here in Saskatoon we have what we call 
Second Day Champion. Many varieties 
fall by the wayside for one reason or 
another, but not your Helen of Troy. The 
whole spike stood tall and erect with two 
more florets open, and the Grand Cham- 
pion for Second Day Ribbon hanging on 
it.
