Professor J. Nichelsen An informal, wine-red flowered glad. 
Deeper than R.1. Really a “Bahama red.” Its straight, wiry stem 
bears a 23-inch flowerhead. Growing 50 inches high from an excel- 
lent bulb, it is adorned with medium-sized healthy leaves. In our 
extreme hot weather the plain, triangular, wide-open florets are of 
excellent texture, 20 to the spike, 6 open, 9 in color; size 44% inches. 
The many bulblets are of good germination. This beauty blossoms 
in 85 days. Prices same as Grace Stewart Peet. 
Kathleen Davidson. A tall-growing glad of formal type with 
three-toned blossoms of “Folly-red and Apache-rust”; red more 
warm than R.4. Sixteen florets, 6 open and 5 in color on a straight 
wiry stem 57 inches high. Size of florets 5% inches. Attachment 
firm. The petals have a silver edge and there is a white line in 
the throat. Florets are fluted, triangular, wide open. Foliage is 
broad, upright and healthy. Bulb is excellent; bulblets and germ- 
ination good. This lovely gladiolus blooms in about 65 days. Prices 
same as Grace Stewart Peet.
