GOLDEN WEST GLADIOLUS 

1949 INTRODUCTIONS 
MAJORETTE 543 (Kroon, 50)—-VE—A cross between Marguerite and 
Rosa Van Lima. A huge self pink, deeper than Rosa Van Lima. Its 6” 
ruffled florets on a tall spike makes Majorette one of the outstanding 
1950 releases. A sturdy plant with good substance and texture, stands 
heat well, never crooks. Foliage stays green until digging time. First 
bloomed in 1944 but the main stock was lost in Columbia River flood 
in 1948. Therefore stock is still small. 
Any size bulb $3.00; One bulb and 12 bts., $6.00. 
MISS Q 220 (C. M. Evans, 50) And correctly named, too. It could have 
been named “Miss the Boat” or “Arrangers’ Delight.” The main quali- 
ties usually talked up in new introductions just simply aren’t here 
when speaking of Miss Q. 6-inch florets? No sir, they are hardly 3- — 
inch. Tall? Not at all, though it would be if it didn’t crook so. It 
crooks more in cool weather than any other glad does in hot. You 
should see it crook in hot weather! 
It is a beautiful medium orange and opens 10 three-inch florets on 
a long flower head that has over 20 buds. Flower arrangers are thrilled 
with the many graceful curves, no two alike. Put 6 spikes in a vase 
and it looks like 10. Doc Evans and I both were in favor of discarding 
this seedling, but are putting it on the market by public demand, so 
please don’t blame us. Miss Q is a vigorous grower. Small bulbs 
usually do not crook. 
Lg. ea. $1.00; Med. 75c; Sm. 50c: Bts. 6 for $1.00. 
BRIDAL ORCHID 566 (Carlson-Puerner, 50)—M—A sensational int 
ABAGAIL 466 (Meyers, °44)—M—An 
lavender, a cross of Elizabeth The Queen and Oriental Pearl. Ruffled 
6-inch florets on a 22-24 bud flower head. A tall growing variety, never 
erooks. A good cut flower and blooms well from all sizes of bulbs as 
well as bulblets. Has already won several first prizes and one Grand 
Championship. I have never grown or seen Bridal Orchid but am 
recommending it on the reputation of the introducers. 
Any size bulb $5.00 ea; One bulb and 5 bts., $10.00.
