SPRING SONG 
(Red Penny x Libelle), formerly seedling ]45 ; 
#> SPRING SONG is recommended to fill the needs of anyone looking for a large- 
flowering, early, lavender gladiolus for the cut-flower trade. Florets are large, ruffled 
and have a throat marking of a deeper shade. Flower-head measures 27 inches and 
usually carries 16 buds although 20 buds are not uncommon on first spikes. Overall 
height of plant is 50 inches. Stem is consistently straight. Large bulbs produce two 
spikes. An interesting feature of this variety is that a planting of uniform size bulbs 
is “cut-out” in 8 days, only a very few stragglers remaining after that time. Here in 
Lebanon our early planting comes into bloom on the first day of July. SPRING SONG is 
healthy and holds its green foliage until quite late in the fall. It is an excellent 
propagator and frequently blooms from bulblets.
