slightly and are round and flat. For- 
mal, exhibition placement, well at-

causes us to carry on. Was grand

507 SALMAN’S GLORY (Salman) (our 
’47 import release) E. The supreme 
beauty of the giant, blotched varieties. 
Pure, unflecked light cream, paling 
imperceptibly to white at petal edge 
with a spectacular, solid carmine mark 
surrounded with a strong yellow which 
blends out into the cream basic color. 
Early giants are uncommon, but this 
variety does not stop there. Super- 
latives apply to its color, its every 
trait and habit. It can well be we are 
discussing the world’s greatest glad. 
Personally, we are partial to giant, 
blotched varieties with clean colors 
and good color harmony.

407 SINCERITY (Errey) (our ’48 import 
release) M. “The find of the season” 
says J. P. Jones, Gladiolus Corre- 
spondent, Australian Garden Lover. 
The ground color is cream, the lower 
petals being a deeper cream with a 
soft light scarlet blotch, a striking 
color harmony. Florets, beautifully 
waved, are 4 inches or more, of good 
texture and can carry 10 open in full 
double row placement unless forced, 
when the spike stretches the florets a 
bit further apart. In either event the 
regularity of facing and spacing is 
obviously excellent. The color very 
refined. 
Our rating, B 84.
