PURE GOLD — Class 412. In PURE GOLD, we offer you the yellow gladiolus all growers 
have been waiting for — pure, amber yellow throughout in color. No trace of red or 
flaking in heat; florets firmly attached, and most symmetrically placed. It is with every 
confidence we offer you this variety, knowing that it will make great appeal both as 
an exhibition and market bloom, for many years to come. Entirely free of disease, and 
a good propagator. Tall grower with flowerheads up to 24 inches in length, carrying 
25 buds, of which 8-10 open 4% inches across. Early flowering. 
Price: Large $5.00; bulblets 80c each. 
SCARLET MAJOR — Class 552. A true scarlet-red in color with faint darker flakings on 
the outer edges of the petals. It is a very tall grower, and should have a great future 
as an exhibition and market variety. On a 24-inch flowerhead there are 20 buds with 
8 open and 6 in color. Florets are 6 inches across and it flowers mid-season. One of 
the very best varieties yet released as a propagator. 
Price: Large $5.00; bulblets 80c each. 
WONDROUS — Class 540. WONDROUS has been selected by us as the first of the 
Burns’ classical types to be released. In color, it is a light pink with a blushed throat 
bordered cream, the latter blending into an attractive stripe through each petal. This 
coloring, together with deep rose flakes on the outer edges of the petals, makes great 
appeal. WONDROUS is indeed a giant exhibition type, having perfect placement of 
florets and a very rigid stem, and it will undoubtedly prove itself as the finest variety 
ever to be released. It is an exceptionally good propagator, and blooms midseason. 
The florets are of the wide-open type, and are 7 inches across, of which 8-10 of 24 
buds are open, with six in color on a long, tapering 30-inch flowerhead. 
Price: Large $10.00; bulblets $1.20 each 
AN EARLIER RELEASE 
DR. PRYOR — Class 550. Color light red, with cream throat and carmine blotch. Very 
tall spike with 24 buds of which 8-10 open at a time. A very robust variety, rapid 
propagator and excellent for market and exhibition. Champion spike at R. H. S. of 
Victoria’s Annual Show, 1947. 
Price: Large 50c each; bulblets, 4 tor 25c. 
GLADLAND PREVIOUS INTRODUCTIONS (1947-1948) 
All previous Gladland releases have excelled in our test garden this summer 
with sole exception of APRIL, which showed a tendency to crook in some plants this 
season. This could be a temporary fault — due to weather. Growth was extremely 
robust, as usual. , 
GRAND FINALE (Andrews, 1947) Class 430 formal. Color is clear warm pink with two 
small red feathers extending half way from throat to tip. 5-inch florets, 20-21 buds, 
flowerhead 25-inch. Florets open, 8-10; buds in color 7-8; field height 54 inches; blooms 
in 95 days. Because of extremely limited supply price was held to $5.00 for first two 
years. This season its prolific propagation permits a price of $1.00 per bulb, any size. 
Bulblets 10 for $1.00. 
BUTTERSCOTCH (Langworthy, 1948) Class 521 formal. A warm bright pastel in a new 
shade — Indian yellow overlaid with Chinese coral — bright coral throat mark. Definitely 
the sensation of the 1948 releases. Bound to be universally grown; a great show flower
