Ruth Anni 566 (Woods, Gove, Graff 1948) 
A new innovation in the lavender class. Ruth 
Ann is truly outstanding. The six-inch florets are 
large, heavily ruffled and of excellent substance. 
The outer edge of the floret is a lavender pink 
with the lighter shading toward the throat culmi- 
nating in a deep orchid lip. The floret formation 
is unique in that it is reminiscent of a real orchid.

This gladiolus must be seen in order to fully ap- 
preciate its seductive beauty and excellent qual- 
Ltye 
It attains a height of fifty-five inches or more, 
possessing a flowerhead of thirty inches on which 
twenty-two buds are observed on an average 
spike. With eight large florets open and eight 
showing color, this gladiolus is a beauty. It has a 
heavy rib which tends to recurve the petals giving 
it a piquant grace. The stem is willowy and the 
florets are well placed and firmly attached. The 
foliage is a healthy deep green and the plants and 
bloom stood up well during intense heat. Bulblet 
production and germination are both good with 
bloom appearing in seventy-five days. Both for 
color and class, this glad is outstanding.

Spic and Span 432 (Carlson, Puerner) 
Spic and Span has created a sensation at many 
shows. Its long spikes and many open 4%4-inch 
florets, of a shade between salmon and pure pink, 
make imposing specimens admired by fans and 
desired by florists. Its consistent performance 
and easy propagation make it a desirable com- 
mercial variety. 
Its records on the show table speak for the qual- 
ity of Spic and Span. It is a fine commercial.
