ing a height of fifty-five to sixty inches. 
The flowerhead has twenty buds with an over- 
all length of thirty inches. The placement is

Fashion is practically a self geranium pink with 
a deeper intensity of color on the lower lip ex- 
tending into the throat. The florets are nicely 
fluted and very recurved; fully opened. 
The petals are triangular with a heavy mid-rib. 
The intensity of color on the two lips blend into 
the petal itself. The color is appealing and at- 
tractive. It is a very healthy gladiolus. Many fine

(Graff) (Glamis X E. the 
New Yorker o20cn) (744.2) 
The color is a very delicate shade of pink. It 
sometimes has a heavy concentration of color 
along its venuls. It has a heavy mid rib that is 
lighter than the petals. The lower two petals 
have a light throat marking and a small amount 
of red peppering in the throat. This gives it a 
little extra life and buoyancy. The stamens and 
pistils are light pink. The edges of the florets are 
frilled and it attains a height of fifty-five to sixty 
inches. The flowerhead is twenty-eight to thirty 
inches, having a total of twenty to twenty-two 
buds on a perfectly balanced, wiry stem. The fac- 
ing and placement are excellent. The texture is 
good, as is its lasting quality. It will open six in 
the field and eight indoors. Its attachment is firm 
and its health quality good. Good bulblet in- 
crease and good germination. Almost all of its 
bulblets will bloom. This is one of my best 
growers.
