BERNADETTE (Silva 1947). Large, tall 
growing, flesh pink shading to creamy 
white throat. A Sport of Picardy but does 
not resemble it in the least. Taller, larger 
and different color. Can be cut with long 
stems without interfering with foliage. 
Should become a good florist variety. 
Splendid cut flower. Early.

BLACK OPAL (Australian). After having 
grown this variety for several years, we 
are inclined to place Black Opal near the 
top of the list of the dark reds. Not quite 
as dark as Moorish King or Black Magic, 
but a very rich dark red that produces 
fine long spikes of large well placed 
blooms. A splendid grower and a good in- 
creaser—in fact, has all the good quali- 
ties that go to make a high-class gladi- 
olus. Award of Merit, British Gladiolus 
Society. Mid-season.

sider this one of our best originations.

rapid increaser. Early mid-season.
