BOBBY DAZZLER. M.T. 
Commercial. xxxxx. 
Champion Bowl S.A. Glad. Show, 1947. 
Huge florets of a dazzling, glistening orange scarlet, 
held rigidly on a medium to tall erect spike, witn 
vigorous growth, makes this the ideal commercial. 
You know it is orange when you see it. No need to 
be told. Also that it is a beautifully ruffled giant. 
Color not as vivid as Dazzler but softer and still more 
beautiful. Only the slightest trace of fading under very 
bad conditions, so this one has excellent commercia! 
possibilities. 
H. R. HANCOCK. M.I. 
Exhibition. xxx. 
Award of Merit, S.A. Gladiolus Society, 1940. 
A decided break in color. Cream throat, heavily edged 
with cerise. Makes into a perfect exhibition spike. Pro- 
lific propagator. 
MAURRIE TREVAN. L.T. 
Exhibition. xxx. 
Quite an easy matter to grow this one 6 ft. tall, with 
8-10 open. Florets are large, well rounded, and form a 
perfect outline. One of the darkest, if not the darkest, 
red in commerce. 
JESSIE TURNER. M.T. 
Decorative Commercial. xxx. 
Delicate salmon pink, with a harmonising throat, held 
rigidly on tall, straight, gun-barrel spikes, will make 
this one AN ESSENTIAL. 
MRS. JACK PEATTIE. L.I. 
Decorative. xxx. 
Award of Merit, S.A. Gladiolus Society, 1940. 
Another of the sheer beauty ones. This time a car- 
mine pink, with a deep harmonising blotch. Florets 
rigid, with nicely ruffled edges, on a tall commercial 
spike. 
SIR GEO. MURRAY. M.I.

Our 1938 Grand Champion. 
Large flowered, delicate pink, with ruffled edge.

7 TUNIA’S MAHOMET. L.T. 
Exhibition. xxxxx. 
Color Champion, Tasmania, 1945; Grand Champion, 
N.Z., 1945; First Class Certificate, S.A. Gladiolus 
Society, 1940. 
Without a: doubt, the most perfect exhibition smoke 
now in commerce. In fact, it’s a _ glorified Tunia’s 
Triumph in the cloak of a smoke. The same fascinating 
huge florets, up to 8 inches across. More open. More 
consistent and reliable. Forms a perfect outline on a 
tremendous spike, which is self supporting. 
TUNIA’S MARVEL. ELI. 
Exhibition. xxxxx. 
Champion Seedling, S.A. Gladiolus Show, 1940. 
One of the Six Best at same Show. 
Can you imagine it—J. 8S. Bach sobered up to a per~- 
fect exhibition? No clubbing, and that glorious Tunia’s 
Triumph color, those wide open florets, bursting them 
even better than J. S. Bach. A perfect blend of two 
outstanding champions. 
TUNIA’S SNOWBALL. E.T. 
Primulinus Superba. 
Champion Vase, S.A. Gladiolus Show, 1938; Champion 
Vase, S.A. Gladiolus Show, 1940; Award of Merit, Ohio, 
1943; Champion Vase, N.Z. (twice), 1947. 
Champion Vase, N.Z. (three times), 1948. 
A decided break from the old fashioned, dull unat- 
tractive Prim., Tunia’s Snowball opens up a new field 
in the once popular Primulinus class. We make no 
apology in classing Tunia’s Snowball as a Primulinus 
Superba. The intensely ruffled, correctly shaped florets 
of a Glistening Attractive White did attract enough 
attention, both in 1938 and 1940, when in each case it 
was awarded the champion vase.

A massed display of this variety is an unforgettable 
sight. The color is an orange shaded rose doree, with a 
scarlet blotch. This remarkable color blend is further 
set off with a very deep green stem, which, although 
remarkably thin, is extremely wiry, and holds the very 
large florets erect and firm.

Champion, Wyo., U.S.A., 1941. 
Crystal, with outstanding exhibition qualities, has an 
assured future on the show bench. This was demon- 
strated in no uncertain manner at our 1937 Spring Show, 
when Crystal, shown with 14 open florets, won the 
Champion Seedling and Grand Champion of the Show. 
The spike in this instance was the most massive 
spike we have staged to date, and according to our 
leading specialists they have yet to see one its equal. 
The stem, although very thin, is exceptionally wiry. 
Florets are large, ranging from 6 in. up to 7% in. wide 
cpen, have heavy substance, and open up very quickly. 
JIM HOLLAND. L.T. 
Cream Commercial. 100 days. 
First and Best Australian Commercial, S.A. Gladiolus 
Autumn Show, 1939. Fist Ohio, 1940. 
A sport of Betty Nuthall, inheriting the same tall, 
stiff, wiry stem, but being a delicate cream we feel as 
confident that this cream sport has an equally outstand- 
ing commercial future. 
FASCINATION. MLS. 
Exhibition. 
The color of this variety is a beautiful orange pink. 
The florets are not large, ranging from 4 to 5 inches, 
but are perfectly faced and spaced on a stiff, wiry stem.

Exhibition. 
Champion Seedling, and twice Runner-up for Grand 
Champion. S.A. Glad. Show, 1936 and 1938. 
Although considered the most perfect exhibition Glad. 
in existence, we must be very frank, as when grown 
under ordinary conditions, it is just ordinary. Given 
special attention, it’s a humdinger. Tremendous long 
flower-head, with 24-26 buds, mammoth round florets, 
bright metallic orange pink, with a yellow throat.
