CeO Var Rom Pel Cals Ua Rak 
Yours truly with three spikes of Grace Stewart Peet that won 
the American Home Achievement Award. 
One large spike and two small spikes were entered by Mr. 
Scott in the Michigan Gladiolus Society’s Show at Ann Arbor, 
Michigan. These three spikes, although two were undersize, scored 
an average 86 over many other very fine varieties. I felt sure that 
had we exhibited three spikes from medium or large bulbs, we would 
have had a score up in the 90's. 
Believe it or not, the three spikes.were cut, in flower, one week 
before the show; and many of my friends predicted that we would 
be unable to enter the three spikes in the show; they never heard 
of such a feat by any glad which they know of up and until that 
time. But Grace Stewart Peet performed this unusual feat! The 
picture was taken on the eighth (8th) day after these spikes were 
cut. 
_ This glad will open from green buds and when I say green 
buds I mean like those we receive from Florida during the, middle 
of the winter. This glad is also a top commercial variety because 
it shows so much color at one time and will open to the last bud. 
Texture is very heavy—twice as thick as Picardy. And, also, it 
can stand very rough handling—it is tops for florists’ use because it 
can take it. 
This is the glad we did not intend to sell for many years to 
come. But, due to Mr. Scott’s untimely death, we have decided to 
disseminate this wonderful white along with the other fine varieties 
we list in this catalogue.
