Holloway’s Dream Garden —3— Henry, Nebraska 

SPRING SONG (Kadel) (Red Penny X Libelle)—Recommended to those looking 
for a large flowered early lavender gladiolus for the cut flower trade. Large, 
ruffled, medium shade of lavender with deeper marking. Carries 16 to 20 buds 
on a 27 inch flower head. Grows 50 inches tall. A planting of uniform size 
bulbs is “cutout” in a period of 8 days after coming in bloom. Blooming season 
about the same as Red Penny. Like that variety, it is a strong, healthy grower 
which frequently blooms from bulblets. 
Priced: Any size bulb $2.00; 10 for $16.00. Bulblets, 12 may be purchased for 
$2.00 with each bulb, not sold separately. 
REDOWA (Butt) (Sdlg. 40283) (Admirai X Red Charm)—Bright scarlet red with 
darker red throat mark enhancing its beauty. Tall grower 55” with 27-28” 
flower heads, 18-20 buds. Florets 5” wide, very slightly frilled with 7-8 open at 
once, regularly placed and firmly attached. Bulblets of this variety grow exl 
tremely well and flower freely, developing many cutable spikes and they stay 
green until dug. An easy grower and most valuable for both exhibition and 
florists’ work. 
Priced: Any size bulb $3.00. No bulblets. 
RED WING (Wright-Graff)—A rival in the red class. Red Wing attains a height 
over sixty inches, growing from foliage lushly green and upright on a straight 
stem. It has 32” flower head comprised of 22-24 buds with the power of open- 
ing ten 5%4-6 inch florets, with six buds showing color. Superimposed on the 
lower petels is a deep scarlet blush which provides that essential spark which 
captivates the eye. The florets are slightly recurved and ruffled, with a mid 
rib in the petal which lends appeal. All buds open to the tip when cut tight 
which is a desirable property for both a good show and commercial flower. Both 
bulblet and germination are very good, producing tall straight saleable spikes. 
Priced: L. $5.00; M. $4.00; S. $3.00. 10 bulblets sold only with a large bulb 
for $10.00. 
RELIANT (Krueger) (Originator’s description)—The giant of all gladiolas, in plant, 
‘in floret size and in bud spikes. These traits make Reliant a must purchase for 
all hybridists. Its parentage is Criterion crossed on a seedling segregated from 
an open pollinated Maid of Orleans. The florets of Reliant are white with a 
cream throat blotch and 6” or more in diameter. It opens 6 to 8 on a bud 
spike of 24” to 36” length (depending on moisture) which carry up to 24 buds. 
It grows to a height of 60”. No glad is more capable of impressing the viewer 
than Rehant. It blooms in late season, good propagator and bulblets germinate 
readily. A spike with 24 buds—8 open is a potential champion and a good stock 
allows a low introductory price. 
Priced: L. $3.00; M. $2.00; S. $1.00. 10 bulblets for $3.00. 
TWO NEW MINIATURES (From L. W. Butt) (Originator’s description)—It is not 
an overstatement to say that a basket of these miniatures at the great show in 
Binghamton, N. Y., was the center of attraction and literally “stole the show.” 
Everyone who saw them expressed a desire to purchase bulbs, and on every side 
you could hear people saying that for the first time they had found some small 
flowering varieties which they really liked and which were beautiful. 
BO-PEEP (Sdlg. 40041) (Crinklette x Mibloom)—Buff pink with a yellowish throat 
faintly dusted red. Very early, deeply ruffled and of heavy substance. Grows 
to a height of about 40” with 17-18” flower heads that carry 16-17 buds of which 
5-6 open at once informally arranged. Florets are 3” wide. Most attractive in 
form and color and an ideal glad for florists’ use. 
Bulbs any size $5.00 each. 
TWINKLES (Sdlg. 40371) (Harlekin x Crinklette)—Dark orange pink on the outer 
petals with a deep yellow center on which are reddish lines. A very attractive 
color. Early, deeply ruffled and of heavy substance. Averages 36-38 inches in 
height with 16-18” flower heads. 17-18 buds of which 5-7 florets open at once 
usually but not always well arranged. A fine garden variety as it is a sturdy 
grower and large bulbs give many spikes. 
Bulbs any size $5.00 each.
