broad white lines. (M 10-.50) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .30) 
Dieppe *& * *& * (432) (Hassall, 1945) (85 days) Dieppe has been a favorite of 
ome”. 6 mine for its mellow richness of color. About six lightly waved, 
radiant, salmon-scarlet florets open on a stem of average height. An all-around good glad— 
one of the best to come out of Canada. Has excellent habits and should be in every 
collection. (L 1-.20; 10-1.60) (M 2-.30; 10-1.25) (S 2-.20; 10-.80) (Blbts. Pkg. .35)

Discovery ee tall heavily ruffled light yellow with a distinctive red star 
in the throat. It is certainly the best blotched yellow in the 500 series. A smooth glistening 
color with extra-heavy petal subsance. A good early cutter. Sensitive to dry weather..

¢ ¢ ¢ Donna is a lovely, ruffled golden-buff. Quite an improvement on 
the older Wasaga. We have always liked tall, richly toned Donna. Fine for late cutting.

erable quantities. One of the leading new smokies. Pictured on page 22 and on back cover.

Elizabeth the Queen VO © ((Sheila x Gloriana) X Salbach’s 
Orchid) Elizabeth the Queen opens 6 or 7 beautifully ruffled, somewhat needlepointed florets 
on an 18 bud spike. Color is an exquisite lavender with a peach glow in the throat. Plants 
are about four feet tall. Usually comes knee-high for us so we have discarded our entire 
stock and secured bulbs from a leading grower who is famous for his “Lizzies”. Superla- 
tively beautiful when well-grown. (L 2-.25; 10-1.00) (M 10-.50) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. .25)

Ethel Cave Cole e e e ¢ Picardy) Compared to Friendship, for instance, 
Ethel Cave Cole is like a comely milkmaid beside a party-dressed princess; but this buxom, 
pink-cheeked peasant lass is goodnatured and willing, and will perform well for you.

Eureka xk kK * (500) (Fairweather, 1948) (90 days) (Sport of Picardy) Named 
e e e e after the famous exclamation of Archimedes when he discov- 
ered one of the first principles of physics (“I have found it!”), this glad won a place on our 
Season’s Honor Roll as well as a grandchampionship at the Minnesota Gladiolus Show last 
summer. A rich creamy white, Eureka is as pure and crystalline as if cast in melted wax. 
This Picardy sport is the best behaved of all the white sports of Picardy with us. Pictured 
on page 22 and on back cover.

* wk ke & «6(560) (Palmer, 1948) (90 days) (Greta Garbo x Eliza- 
Evangeline Cy ae the Queen) Fine light pink that has been the sen- 
sation of many a flower show. Color is a warm light pink, not a rose; hence this glad 
should be in the 540 class instead of 560, as now classified. Evangeline’s huge florets are 
sometimes misplaced. Husky grower, moderate propagator with us. Our large bulbs, 
which were grown from young bulbs are big as turnips—all set for grand championships. 
$5.00 any size bulb. With each bulb purchased 12 bulblets may be had for $5.00 additional. 
No bulblets sold separately. 
* (443) (La Salle, 1946) (85 days) Fabulous seems to be headed 
Fabuleus ® e efor the commercial brackets. Its rich salmon color is accen- 
tuated by a large rosy blotch edged wtih cream. Pictured on page 22.
