Descriptive Price List 
ABU HASSAN (378) (Konynenberg & Mark) (’46) 
(Midseason) We cut Abu Hassan in quantity 
this year, and it was hailed with a cheer by the 
florists. They have been starved for this color. 
One or two spikes of this rich inky blue seems 
to add richness to all the other colors in a mixed 
bouquet. It completes the color circle. From 
fours the spikes reached up to under my arms. 
Vigorous. Should be in every collection. (L 1- 
20c; 10-$1.50) (M 1-15c; 10-$1.00) (S 2-15c; 10- 
60c) (Blbts. Pkg. 35c) 
ALGONQUIN (436) (Palmer) (’39) (Early Midsea- 
season) (Picardy x Com. Koehl) A very popular 
bright scarlet for exhibition and cutting. Opens 
8 wide-open blooms on tall straight stems. (L 3- 
25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 
20c) 
ANNAMAE (400) (Pommert) (’40) (Early) (Open 
pollinated from Maid of Orleans seedlings). 
We consider Annamae one of the best early 
white glads listed. Snowy, crystalline, tall and 
vigorous. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10- 
25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
ARETHUSA (416) (Fischer) (’37) (Early) (Bright- 
side x Rosemarie Pfitzer) A headliner in the 
pastel shades, closest to buff in color value. A 
large and consistently tall vigorous grower, with 
an almost unbelievably intense frilling. One of 
the very earliest to bloom and a very valuable 
cut flower for that reason. We cut quantities 
of superb spikes early last summer. A _ very 
beautiful gladiolus that should be planted early 
for best results. One of the best breeders. Sets 
seed readily. Offering an improved strain. Don’t 
miss Arethusa, one of the best in this list. 
Arthusa was included in almost every order 
last year. (L 3-25c; 10-75c) (M 10-40c) (S 10- 
25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
ASTRID (460) (Jack) (‘46) (Midseason) (From 
Early Rose) A new rose similar to Rose Delight 
by the same originator. Larger, taller but with 
more distracting throat lines. We had a couple 
very fine spikes of this last summer. Rather 
slow propogator for us so far. (L 1-$1.50) (M 1- 
$1.00) (S 1-75c) (Blbts. 3-25c; 10-60c) 
AUTUMN GOLD (412) (Fischer) (’43) (Late) 
(From Prestgard strain) This richly colored 
golden yellow is quite a favorite with us. Aptly 
named. Rather short but can be cut close to the 
ground without injuring the foliage so that it 
compares favorably with other varieties. We 
miss it when it is not in bloom. A favorite 
with us for makeup work. Medium and small 
bloom as well as large. Vigorous. (M 10-40c) 
(S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
AVALON _(440) (Marshall) (’40) (Midseason) 
(Wm. Cuthbertson x Picardy) A tall pleasing 
shade of light pink that has been a good cutter. 
(L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. 
Pkg. 20c) 
BADGER BEAUTY (466) (Krueger) ('41) (Mid- 
season) (Minuet x Bagdad) Badger Beauty has 
found its way in the gladiolus world as a re- 
liable cut flower. It opens exceptionally well 
in water. Tall, good color, but severely plain in 
style. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) 
(Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 


“TIT can imagine the florists grabbing for Autumn 
Gold whenever they can get it. I don’t know of 
a yellow that impressed me like this one did, the 
color and form are really outstanding. I hope I 
get a little more height into it next season. For 
sheer beauty it cannot be beat.’’—E. H. Lins, 
Minn.
