GLAD MEADOW 

(Kreuger 1950) (Formerly 
Keepsake seedling No. 1012-41) 
Keepsake is one of the most beautiful yellow 
gladiolus that I have grown. Its smooth petal 
structure enhances the purity of its coloring which 
is enlivened by the deeper yellow color of its 
lower petals. 
Keepsake grows to a field height of fifty-four 
inches. It produces spire type spikes from low 
growing foliage and produces bud spikes of six- 
teen buds which open five or six four and three- 
fourth inch florets at one time. It increases rapid- 
ly. 
Keepsake produces a small percentage of crook- 
ed spikes and there is a misplaced floret on some 
spikes, but its beauty compensates for these short- 
comings. 
Excellent test reports have been received on 
Keepsake.

Orchid 

Majorette (Kon) 
A gladiolus derived from Margerite X Rosa Van 
Lima. 
A very excellent flower and almost silver pink, 
it is deeper than Rosa Van Lima. Its sturdiness, 
substance and texture are outstanding. The foli- 
age is still green at digging time. 
Majorette stands the heat very well and never 
crooks. It has height and length, a requisite for 
all good gladiolus. It blooms early (65 days). On 
account of its superb substance it out-lasts almost 
any variety. The florists always ask for THAT 
pink. 
Its bulblet production is good and germination 
excellent. Very easy cutter and good keeper. It 
will open six florets with four in color. They are 
slightly frilled and re-curved. The total length of 
the spike is between fifty-five and sixty inches 
carrying eighteen to twenty-two buds. 
I do believe that there is a place for this Glad 
in the commercial world.

Bridal Orchid 
abeth the Queen) 
A sensational new pastel lavender by Carlson. 
Bridal Orchid opens up ten six-inch florets and 
six of them showing color. There are between 
twenty-two and twenty-four buds growing on a 
very tall spike. 
There was no crooking for us the past season. 
It opened readily from tight bud and blooms well 
from all sizes including bulblets. It is mid-season 
in habit. 
There may be some variation in color from old 
bulbs due to different soil conditions. The bulb- 
lets are firmly attached to the mother bulb which 
is good from a commercial viewpoint. We have 
grown this and heartily endorse it. 
It has a good show record.
