VULCAN (Stevens) (M) One of the good purples and one of the 
most attractive in color. We get an occasional crook but most 
spikes are straight. Tall spikes with about 6 large flowers of 
clear reddish purple. 
L .15, M .10, Bulblets 25—.25, 100—.75, 250—$1.50 
WHITE CHALLENGE (Arnett) (M) Here was one of our top per- 
formers last season. An attractive faintly blushed white with a 
soft rose blotch; 8 or 9 large round well-placed florets open. 
A fine grower and we got quite good bulblet increase. White 
Challenge won at least three Grand Championships at 1947 shows. 
Bulbs, any size, $5.00, Bulblets .60, 10—$5.00 
WHITE GODDESS (Roberts) New giant ruffled white. See 1948 
introductions. 
WHITE MAGIC (Kuhn) (M) A good looking new ruffled white that 
we grew from small sizes only, but it made a good impression. 
We have also had good reports from others who have grown it. 
L $5.00, M $3.50, S $2.50, Bulblets .50, 10—$4.00 
YANKEE LASS (Schenetsky-Milo) (M) Large tall pale pink with 
small darker feather. 8 or 9 large florets with regular placement 
on good spikes. A fair propagator. 
L $5.00, M $3.50, S $2.00, Bulblets .60, 10—$5.00 
ZELLADEE (Kaylor) (M) A different lavender, deeper than most, 
with a cream throat and rather odd plain narrow petals. Makes 
mostly quite small bulblets, but they germinate well. 
M .65, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75 
GLADIOLUS SOCIETIES 
You will raise better glads and enjoy them more if you have for 
reference some of the fine gladiolus publications of the various 
societies. In addition to any state or local organizations in your vicin-

with value far exceeding the modest cost. 
The New England Gladiolus Society, Horticultural Hall, Boston, 
15, Mass., (annual dues $2.00) puts out a beautifully bound Yearbook 
of more than 200 pages, plus 6 magazines during the year, 40-60

Membership Secretary, Lincoln Park, N. J., publishes 4 large Bul- 
letins which are included in the $1.00 yearly dues. The Canadian 
Gladiolus Society, 166 Willow Road, Guelph, Ontario, offers a big 
Yearbook, about 200 pages, featuring variety comments, symposium, 
etc., (Dues $2.00). All of the above have lots of interesting and in-
