OUR “SECOND TEAM” 
Just as in sports not all players can make the first team, so in the 
gladiolus world all varieties cannot break into the top 100 or top 150 
glads, altho each grower will have his own list of favorites. (There are 
supposed to have been some 8,000 named varieties of gladiolus introduced 
to-date!) The following glads are definitely NOT discards; those we 
throw away—often pulling them up while in bloom. Many of these are very 
beautiful and worthy varieties, crowded out of top listing (in our opinion) 
by the grand new 1947 and 1948 introductions. But our judgment is far 
from infallible, and you may like many of them better than some in our 
main list. Here, then, is our “second team” for your consideration:
