Statuette (40377) (Harlekin x Crinklette) Miniature. Clear medium yellow with a diffused 
an. OUTDO enec tinrocdtimat: 
Not quite so heavily ruffled as others in this group but the florets are probably the smallest, 
being not over 214’". Of the customary 19-21 florets, 6-7 are open at once, very well arranged 
and tied in tight to the stem. Spikes always straight, flower head about 18-19” long with a 
total height of 40-42”, the ultimate in daintiness and charm. 
Spikes of this were flown to London, England for the big National Garden Show where 
it was given an Award of Merit. Statuette and our other miniatures created a tremendous stir 
among glad fans who visited the show. 
While its introduction should probably be deferred for another year, we are anxious to 
share this with our many friends who want to have this miniature in their gardens. 
Price $5.00 each; 3 for $13.50; 12 for $50.00. No bulblets. 
Macushla (au! 1950) Here is one of the finest colored glads introduced in many years. 
By comparison with the British color chart, it is Bengal rose (25-2), just what 
the florists are looking for. The throat is light cream, feathered with diffused deeper lines, which 
add to its general attractiveness. Color is somewhat like Topflite but better. 
The plants are healthy and the spikes tall and straight. Of the 20-21 buds, 6-7 are open 
at once, 4144-5” across, usually well placed and firmly attached. It is an excellent shipping glad 
as it opens well in water. Midseason. 
Bulbs any size $3.00 each; 3 for $8.00; 12 for $30.00. No bulblets. 
Lavender Beauty (Kolb) (Sdig. 4159) (Myrna x Eliz. the Queen) Clear soft lavender 
TTT ses eppink, a real orchid tone. The five inch florets are nicely ruffled and 
well placed and attached on straight stems. Overall height about 50’’, with 23-94’" flower 
heads, 18-20 florets, 6 open and 6 in color. Lavender Beauty is all that its name implies and 
even more. It looks like the lavender we have been looking for. It is healthy and vigorous and 
produces well balanced spikes. Bulblet production very good as is germination. A bright new 
glad in a much wanted color. 
Tested in 1949 in the Glad Grower’s Council Trial grounds it received an approval award 
with the years highest score 92. This endorsement by four competent trial ground operators 
stamps this glad as one of the most outstanding novelties of the year. 
Bulbs any size $3.00 each or 12 for $30.00. Bulblets available in wholesale units only. 
FROM F. C. CAVE 
Mt. Baker (566) (Late) Here is one of the finest varieties | have seen in a long time. 
—— Color is flesh white blushed light lavender or lilac pink shading a little deeper 
toward the edge and in the throat. Very large blooms, well placed and of heavy substance, 
nicely ruffled. 56’ tall. Good attachment, fine shipper. Produces oodles of small bbts. that ger- 
minate well. Opens 8-9 and opens well from tight buds. | have seen this only from No. 5’s but 
they produced blooms larger and better than most varieties from large bulbs. It looks to me like 
a real addition to the gladiolus family. A great commercial but may be a little late for the shows. 
Price $10.00 each for large, 2 year old bulbs. With each large bulb | will give a small one 
extra. Wholesale units available. 
This is another Elizabeth The Queen seedling. See front cover. 


“It gives me great pleasure to write you_at this time and tell you the wonderful success | 
had with the gladiolus | purchased from you. The flowers were the envy of everyone who saw 
them.” —Wilbur S. Walters, Mich.
