Hokus Pokus is extremely early and certainly very novel. A row in 
——————— bloom looks like a parade of clowns. Now that the price 
of JAVA has dropped so greatly, it can be tried by everyone. It has come 
from Holland very highly recommended. 
June Bells is a very early and valuable white with a few lines of. pink 
—————_ in the throat. It should make a wonderful early white com- 
mercial. LAVENDER DREAM which blooms at about the same time (very 
early) has one of the loveliest shades of orchid lavender blue known in 
all gladiolus. LIBRETTO has been greatly admired and coveted by all 
those who have seen the few available spikes of this latest triumph of 
the master of the “blues,” Pfitzer. It is much larger than most blue varieties. 
Manchu opens up to 10 blooms at one time and is a wonderful bittersweet 
—— orange. It is greatly admired by florists who can't get enough 
of it. For arrangements it is difficult to beat. MANSOER is a fine brownish 
blood red. OBERBAYERN, with its amazing white paint blotch on a deep 
blue background, is very spectacular. RAVEL is unquestionably the finest 
of the medium priced blue violets. 
In the very short time that SALMAN’S GLORY has been available to the 
American public it has had a phenomenal reception. There will be few 
glad fans not growing it this year. It is destined for a long and deserving 
popularity. Some of its seedlings are due for an even longer lasting and 
greater fame. TIVOLI builds a spectacular spike of the loveliest of clear 
rose florets. It is probably one of the finest varieties to ever come from 
Europe.
