LIPSTICK: I have restocked this variety 
because it proved to be such a fine cut 
flower. A tall ribbon of color. Ruffled, 
shell pink florets with rose throat mark- 
ings. Can win for most open florets. 
MARGARET WOOD: Large, deep purple 
florets of heavy substance. Spikes are 
artistic and fine for florists’ work. 
MARIMBA: Tall, buff with many open. 
Has fine commercial qualities. It should 
be among your cut flower varieties. 
MARION PEARL: A choice large salmon 
with lighter throat. Grows very formal 
spikes with 8 to 10 open. Propagates 
rather slowly but is an excellent variety. 
MISS WISCONSIN: In great demand 
because of its fine deep rose color and 
easy growing habits. Will have a long 
future. Makes bulblets late, so leave in 
your garden until the last digging. 
MORNING STAR: One of the finest 
gladiolus blooms I have ever seen was 
Morning Star at the Garfield Park show 
in Chicago in 1946. It is a fine, pure 
white sport of Picardy, very large. I have 
not grown it, but judging from that one 
spike it has great possibilities. Looks 
crisp ‘and fresh and nice. 
MT. INDEX: An older variety that has 
jumped into the limelight this past sea- 
son. Has fine commercial characteristics. 
White with yellow throat. Early and fine. 
MYRNA FAY: Early lavender and a 
good commercial flower. Will be a 
money-maker for cut flower growers. 
OKLAHOMA: An appealing smoky. 
Gray florets with lavender overcast. Will 
be liked by florists who appreciate odd 
colors and who are looking for new and 
different things. 
ORANGE GOLD: A strong growing 
early, deep rich orange. Healthy, dark 
foliage. Five or 6 large florets open. 
I have a fine stock of choice bulbs and 
encourage you to grow this finé variety. 
PHANTOM BEAUTY: A beautiful glad 
with many large pastel pink florets in 
formal placement. I rate it excellent in 
spite of the fact that it may need the 
best cultivation to obtain its best 
qualities. 
RELIANT: “The Giant”. You must plant 
early to get best results. Extremely large 
white florets. You'll surely enjoy this 
glad when it blooms. One of Mr. 
Krueger's 1948 introductions. 
ROSEA: This light rose-pink is early and 
a choice cut flower variety. Be sure to 
grow it for your early market. A very 
desirable florists’ color. 
SNOWSHEEN: Tall spikes with medium 
sized snow-white florets. Clean and ex- 
cellent. A high-class variety for fine 
florists’ work. 
SPOTLIGHT: A great performer in every 
respect. In heavy demand on the cut 
flower market and cut flower growers 
will be able to sell every spike they 
produce in the coming years. A clean, 
medium yellow with a strawberry throat 
marking. My bulbs of this variety are 
choice. 
SUNSPOT: Won several grand cham- 
pionships this past season. A tall, light 
buff with a rose spot in throat. Opens 
8 to 10 very large, ruffled florets. 
SUMMER GAL: A large pink, leaning to 
an orange tone with rose feather. Me- 
dium propagator. Heavy show winner. 
Much in demand. 
SUSQUEHANNA: Tall, formal, clear buff- 
pink. Florets round and of fine substance. 
A good pastel shade and an excellent 
cut flower. 
TRALEE: One of the coming commer- 
cials. A most pleasing, light rose and 
an excellent florists’ color. Opens 8 on 
a tall, straight spike. 
TOPFLITE: One of the best gladiolus. 
A marvelous soft rose with many large 
florets open. Really outstanding. 
WHITE CHALLENGER: Really a strong 
growing, tall, fine white with some blush 
pink in the throat.. Well liked by every- 
one who sees it. Grows easily, propa- 
gates well.
