The truest. gauge in determining the quality of 
a Gladiolus, is its acceptance by commercial florists 
and growers. In order for a Gladiolus, regardless of 
its ability to win prizes in exhibitions, to achieve 
this acceptance, it must be possessed not only of 
extreme beauty, but in addition meet the following 
requirements: Strong substance and texture of 
bloom, straight, non-crooking stem and flower 
spike, wide open, facing outward flower. The fact 
that many floral artists have been willing to pay 
the originator a high premium for Lady Anne is 
proof of high commercial acceptance.
