Adora ble Pye Gove, Gra 
A delicate pink with a slight lavender cast, 
which might easily be classed as a self color. Each 
floret has a fuschia color marking on the lower 
petal. The petals are needle pointed. It has a 
heavy mid rib and softly crimped edges. It ac- 
commodates twenty-two buds on a twenty-eight- 
inch flowerhead. We have had many fine reports 
on this one. 
It is ADORABLE. Try it.

Coachman 220 (Woods, Graft 1949) 
A favorite in the deep salmon pink class. The 
plant stands fifty-five inches tall and opens ten to 
twelve florets in the field, with the remaining ten 
showing color. Thus it creates the impression of 
being in full bloom, a desirable quality in a good 
gladiolus. The flowerhead of Coachman is twen- 
ty-six to twenty-eight inches, florets are 434 to 5% 
inches. 
It has warmth of color, being a pleasing deep 
salmon, with white mid ribs. The petals are re- 
curved and softly ruffled. Its substantial texture 
and good form give it a natural rating as a com- 
mercial flower. We liked this very much. 
It was grand champion of the Wisconsin State 
Show at Beloit, 1949.

An exciting new cream with heavily ruffled six- 
inch florets of excellent substance and ultra dis- 
tinctive formation which will meet with your ap- 
proval. When you see it in bloom you will be 
thrilled by the realization that it is the most beau- 
tiful cream you have ever beheld. 
The floret formation is as beautiful as that of 
Elizabeth the Queen, but is of heavier texture and 
more boldly defined. 
The plant grows to an average height of fifty- 
five to sixty inches with a beautifully proportion- 
ed thirty-inch flowerhead comprised of twenty to 
twenty-two buds, holding eight to ten open, with 
eight showing color on an impressively straight,
