GOLDEN WEST GLADIOLUS GROWERS—DOWNEY, CALIFORNIA 
Our 1948 Introductions 
Here are two cut flower varieties which you will want to grow. Both 
originated here in southern California and they were the two top 
seedlings at the southern California Glad show held in Pasadena in 
June. Butterscotch took Grand Champion and April was a close sec- 
ond. Both are valuable additions to the Gladiolus world. 
APRIL — Class 430 
Originated by Dr. Charles Evans is a light pastel peach. It is very tall. 
Dr. Evans had bulblet spikes 58 inches tall, which is 10 inches taller 
than we grew them. The stems are slim and wiry. It grew 70 inches 
high for us in the field with every spike the same height. The florists 
are crazy about it — color ideal for weddings. Similar to Phantom 
Beauty only peach instead of pink. During extremely hot weather we 
found some crook but only a little more than in Margaret Beaton. 
Makes a smooth hard bulb similar to those of Paradise. Makes a lot 
of bulblets that germinate freely and with us make many No. 1’s.

BUTTERSCOTCH —- Class 417 
Originated by L. R. Langworthy. A beautiful Indian Yellow blending 
to Chinese Coral toward the throat. It has a pastel orange blotch on 
the lower petal. A very beautiful glad with growing habits from bulbs 
and bulblets about the same as Picardy ora little better. The glow 
and warmth of its color make it a superior glad for baskets and cor- 
sages. It keeps well and will bloom to the tip. A bouquet of these will 
make your mother-in-law love you. The color of this glad is difficult 
to describe but it resembles somewhat a Talisman rose.
