Ten bulbs at 8 times the single price 

GOLDEN ARROW (Pruitt, Bastian) 
A true light yellow with 18 buds, 8 florets open, 6 showing color. Grows 
60 inches in the field, always straight. Formal type; the 5% inch florets 
are well placed and firmly attached to stem. The buds, as they start to 
show color, are true yellow, and do not have the green cast as is common 
with most yellow Glads. Extremely healthy and vigorous, the foliage is 
very dark green. This is the yellow the commercial grower has been 
hoping for. Germination and propagation are excellent. Opens fine when 
cut tight and hot weather does not bother this Glad. Blooms in 85 days. 
Large, $2.00 each. Medium $1.50 each. Small, $.75 each. 
Bulblets, 10 for $2.00. 100 for $16.00. 
Grower’s Unit—3 Large, 3 Medium, 3 Small, and 25 bulblets, $15.00. 
HIAWATHA (Beardmore, Graff) 
Hiawatha is a large pure self scarlet. A flash of beautiful color on a 
wonderful formal spike that grew 60 inches in the field for me. Lightly 
ruffied 514-inch florets with good substance placed right, on a spike of 
22 buds with 88 wide open florets. This looks like one of the winners in 
future scarlet competition. A glad that is hard to fault and it is a very 
good propagator. 
Large, $5.00 each; Medium, $4.00 each; Small, $3.00 each. 
Bulblets, 10 for $4.00; 100 for $32.00. 
LADRONE (Palmer, Gove) 
This beautiful rose doree with yellow blotch looks to me like an im- 
proved Beacon. A little larger in floret size and a very healthy grower 
producing wonderful commercial spikes. Ladrone is a very good propa- 
gator, producing many bulblets that germinate very well. One of the 
nicest introductions. It will certainly be seen on the show tables as soon 
as more people realize its possibilities. 
Large, $3.00 each; Medium, $2.00 each; Small, $1.25 each. 
Bulblets, 10 for $2.00; 100 for $16.00. 
NEON (Young, Ruehr) 
This Glad is a tuffy. Will try to bloom in a desert. A medium pink cut 
flower, formal type Gladiolus. A 100 per cent cutter of very good 50-inch 
right proportioned spikes with very good placing and heavy textured 
wid-open florets. The florets measure 4% inches with 8 to 10 open and 
7 showing color on a 20-bud spike. Not a giant but just right for the 
floral trade. See cut on page 4. 
Large, $2.00 each; Medium, $1.50 each.; Small, $1.00. Bulblets 10 for 
$1.60; 100 for $12.80. 
Grower’s Unit—3 Large, 3 Medium, 3 Small, and 25 bulblets, $13.00.
