Strain of Gladioli 
a 
famous Variety Picardy 
ond Giant Sized Flowers and Spikes 
af 
“All of them were unsurpassed for size and color. I do feel sure 
that Tenor and Pretoria are tops and surpass any existing pink va- 
Tieties. Firedome is entirely new in a red shade and should prove 
very popular. Apricot Queen is valuable because so early to bloom. 
It was exactly a month ahead of Josephine. Unlike most Glads, I find 
these new ones are all attractive when bloomed out to the tip after 
cutting. Now I should like to get more of some of these varieties. 
I believe they could be introduced as a new Giant Strain of high color 
value. Dirk Bouts and Else Poulsen are two superb Glads.”

be available were received just as our new.catalog was going to press, 
enabling us at the last minute to include them in this book. Descrip- 
tions given are brief notes made in the test garden and hardly justify 
these magnificent Glads. Bulbs we will furnish are top size.
