JUNE DAY 437 (Roberts) (Early) The out- 
standing trait of this new pink gladiolus 
is its extreme earliness. It blooms a 
few days ahead of all extra early glads, 
with the exception of Donella. June Day 
makes a tall spike opening 6 or 7 florets 
of 41% inch diameter on an 18 bud spike. 
It makes about the largest bulblets of 
any variety, most of which bloom. June 
Day should be a monev maker for those 
who grow for the early market.

indeed be good, to merit the name of one
