Wi (WriGHT) (Orange seedling x [Picardy x Red Charm A red rival 
Red Wing of beauty and charm possessing the good qualities AP its parentage 
plus a brand new gladiolus. Combining the captivating buds and the floresence of lovely 
blooms with dancing scarlet, and richer in color than the ever popular Red Charm. 
RED WING stands over 60” tall, growing from a dark green upright lush foliage. 
shooting straight stem skyward, filled with a 22-24 flower head of 32’. It has the pro- 
pensity of opening 10 florets of 5'%-6’’ across and 6 buds showing color. Superimposed on 
the lower two petals is an overlaying of a deeper scarlet giving that spark to captivate the 
eye. The florets are slightly recurved and ruffled. The midrib of the petal lending itself to 
the floret giving it instant appeal. All buds open when cut tight in bud to the very tip, a 
desired property for a good commercial and show flower. Its possibilities are unexcelled. 
The bulblet production and germination are very good, making grand cut flowers. RED 
WING does not crook with the intense heat. It is priced this season very moderately for 
aeons spectacle of beauty. We are certain that the small amount of stock is inadequate 
or all.

(Originator’s description) 
¢ (4208) (Prelude x Zauberflote) x Picardy. <A “‘new’’ color, being a 
Adoration pink orchid with a creamy throat, a perfect blend. This beatitifully 
colored glad will be popular with the florists as it blooms early and blooms out at once. 
Bulblets make extraordinarily strong growth and a large percentage make cutable spikes. 
A tall grower 54” and the 24” flower heads carry 16-17 buds, and of these 7 perfectly placed 
5’’ florets open at once. Double placement is usual, florets tied in tight to stem and slightly 
frilled. The all round growth and increase of this variety is most unusual and it has double 
the usual number of stamens and pistils. Possibly these two facts are correlated. 
Bulbs any size $3.00 each. 
FROM ARTHUR C. KOERNER 
This is a new miniature and a new color as far as I know. It is 
Red Button between a carmine and spectrum red. A red that is really red. A 
true face-up. 1-114’, no markings at all. Everyone who sees this wants it. Mr. Koerner 
rates it next to White Satin as one of his very best. 
Price $1.00 each.
