color, really bring premium prices then. It likes cool nights that come with 
early growing. I find it too vigorous, too demanding, in its urge to sprout, to 
advise keeping for late planting, unless you are properly equipped with cold 
storage. This Glad will make its own way in the commercial world. Once 
you see it from medium or young large bulbs. While it will bloom from bulblets 
I do not advise anything under mediums for your early bloom. From proper 
size bulbs, planted early, it really ‘struts its stuff’. Yes, this is the variety Dr. 
Corliss showed with Mrs. Ward's picture in his illustrated talks at various 
places. Good germinator, tall grower. 
One bulb, any size, $1.25. One bulb and ten bulblets, $2.00. Three large, 
two medium, one small, twenty bulblets, $7.50.

From Lawrence Allen—Originator’s Description 
This glad is named after those beautiful shawls of Hindustan. If you are 
looking for color this glad has it, with plenty of velvety sheen. The sparkling 
color makes you take a second look. 
The English color chart classes it Dianthus Purple, to me a deep wine. 
Grows about 54 inches tall, 17 to 20 buds, 5 to 5% inch florets, strong stem, 
good attachment, solid color with ruffled heavy petals. 
Plenty of bulblets that germinate excellent. This is a Lancaster X Burma 
cross. Like most dark glads this one should be cut before a rain.

410—KEEPSAKE (Krueger ‘50) 
Formerly Seedling No. 1012-41 
Keepsake is noteworthy for its classic yellow coloring and its florets are 
devoid of any throat marks. A smooth finish enhances the cclor appeal. Keep- 
sake is not the tallest, nor the largest, nor the most ruffled gladiolus, but it is the 
most beautiful yellow. Derived from Crinkle Cream and Lois. Grows to a 
height of 54 inches. .It produces a spire type spike, from low growing upright 
foliage, which carries 15 to 17 buds, six of which open at one time. The florets 
are of 4¥2 to 5 inch size. Keepsake blooms in early mid-season. It produces 
bulblets generously and they germinate readily. Being a grandchild of Picardy, 
Keepsake will produce some crooked spikes and a small percentage of mis- 
placed florets. A Florida grower and a California wholesale grower are en- 
thusiastic about Keepsake. 
Price each bulb, Large $4.00: Medium $3.00; Small $2.00; Bulblets 50c each, 
10 for $4.00, with or without a bulb purchase. 
Starter stock unit—6 Large and 8 Medium and 10 Small and 100 bulblets
