FOREWORD 
In presenting you this 1950 gladiolus list for your approval and consideration, may | 
take this opportunity to thank our many friends and customers, and to express my apprecia- 
tion for the splendid business given us the past season. We sincerely hope that we can 
look forward to many more new friends and customers this season. 
We have added a few new ones to our list and sincerely hope that you will find the 
gladiolus that you are looking for. We are offering this season one of Mr. Charles Ruble’s 
new introductions. We are very sure that you will not want to miss this one. When we say 
it is good, we mean just that. We are very sorry that we cannot offer you Mr. Carl Fisher's 
Noweta Rose this season, but will be able to offer a limited amount next season. We 
believe this is the best lavender rose. We have had the pleasure of growing and winning a 
champicn ribbon with it. We do hope to have many more new ones, at the lowest possible 
prices as we have aiways had in the past. 
Our stock is Ohio state inspected, Certificate No. 418. 
NEW INTRODUCTION 
From Charles Ruble 
SPARKLE (532) 50. A tail grower, never crooks, solid color of pinkish salmon in the 
532 class. 18 to 21 buds with 6 to 8 open and 4 to 5 in color. A rea! giant with florets 
that are 6 to 71% inches. They are round, wide open and ruffled. Substance very good; 
placement is sometimes a little off on the first floret, otherwise is very good. Opens extra 
well in water. Bulblet production is very good. Germination extra good. Will make 
a very good commercial, as we find it can take ail that is required of a commercial 
gladiolus. There is not too much stock, and we feel that this gladiolus should have been 
held another year. Mr. Ruble has priced it at a very low price, so that most can at least 
enjoy growing one or more of it. We have grown it for the past two seasons and agree with 
Mr. Ruble for the claims that he made for it. 
Bulbs, any size $2.00. Bulblets, 10 for $2.00, sold only with purchase of bulb.
