Per Price 
*QORIENTAL PEARL (M). The sensational new giant cream that was al .60 
hailed as the “wonder glad” of 1946, now priced so you can afford it. 
It is without doubt the largest, tallest growing and strongest cream in 10 $4.80 
existence, opening 5 florets of heaviest leathery texture 7 inches or 
more across out of 24 buds. Form and placement leave nothing to be 
desired, and the towering cane-like spikes never come crooked or floppy. 
PACIFICA (E). Large stately ruffled cream of waxy texture, Picardy 2 rai 
crossed with Maid of Orleans to combine the best qualities of each. 10 .60 
*PANDORA (M). Clear soft geranium pink with darker line in throat, uf Lo 
opening 8-10 round medium size blooms on straight spike. A chaste 
and beautiful variety, free-blooming and of rapid increase. 10 $1.20 
PEGGY LOU (LM). Lovely bright apricot-pink with slight cream and 2 15 
deeper self pepperings in throat, large and nicely ruffled. 10 .60 
PELEGRINA (E). Though introduced nearly 20 years ago it remains 2 abe 
the only low-priced true dark blue, a “must” for any all-around col- 
ages It likes cool weather and is inclined to be scrubby if planted 10 .60 
ate. 
PICARDY (M). Massive glowing shrimp pink of classic form and the 2 Als) 
largest size, always good and at its best tremendous. Its introduction 
in 1931 was the most important event in modern gladiolus culture; 10 .60 
it is still more widely grown than any other and is excelled only by its 
countless descendants in any single particular. 
PINK PICARDY (M). A sport of Picardy with a little darker color 2 a8) 
and all its fine habits of growth; though slightly smaller still in the 
giant class. Said to be preferred to Picardy in some places, but we’re 10 $1.00 
not convinced. 
POLAR ICE (E). Pure gleaming snow-white, with exceptionally 2 sLO 
straight arrowy spike and heavy dark green foliage, prized for its ex- 
treme earliness and forcing qualities. 10 .60 
PURPLE BEAUTY (L). Well known dark purple of medium size, 2 ee 
useful for later plantings as it does not burn like most older varieties 
in this color. 10 .60 
*PURPLE SUPREME (EM). Tall slender plant with 7 bright purple 2 par 
florets edged in silver on 26-inch head, will not fleck or burn. Not 
as large as King Lear but has a better spike; ideal for exhibition and 10 $1.00 
a heavy propagator. 
RANGITATA (E). Very early orange-red with distinctive striped 2 Aa BS 
markings blending to darker throat, 10-12 open and all buds showing a 
plant of medium height. A New Zealand origination. 10 .60 
RECADO (LM). Smoky gray with darker blotch and petals tipped 2 .20 
rose-red, large Picardy type; a pleasing novelty in the not very numer- 
ous smoky group. 10 80 
*RED CHARM (EM). Perhaps the best medium red now grown, its 2 Ds) 
parentage tells the story—Picardy x Commander Koehl, with all their 
gifts of size, strength and hardiness. It isa shade lighter than Koehl, 10 $1.00 
opening 7 out of 20 buds 5% inches across; does well anywhere and is 
particularly suited to hot climates. 
RED LORY (M). A real giant with purple-red florets commonly 6-8 2 .20 
inches wide, which may induce floppiness unless staked. It has grown 
to 6 feet in our fields without special culture. 10 .80 
REWI FALLU (E). Spectacular dark blood red, an old favorite frome oho 
N. Z. with immense 614-inch blooms of wonderfully heavy, velvety 
texture; they are however rather loosely attached which limits its 10 .60 
use in the cut flower trade. 
ROSA VAN LIMA (EM). Light rose-coral with darker throat mark- 2 ae 
ings, opening 8 or more on a Strong spike. A universal favorite, the 
most popular of all Holland originations. 10 .60
