*_*_ * (490) (Wilson, 1940) (90 days) (Picardy x 
Buckeye Bronze e e eAflame) The bronzy tints of this Wilson orig- 
ination may be best appreciated in autumn, combined with oranges or yellows. Autumn 
Gold, Sunlight, October Sunshine or Manchu would blend well. Zinnias or sunset-colored 
chrysanthemums would make good fillers. Just the thing for a rich mahogany table or an 
old fashioned fireplace. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .20) 
Burma * *& *& & (562) (Palmer, 1943) (85 days) (Premier Henry x King Lear) 
e e e e This Palmer origination ranks among the gladiolus greats of all 
time, along with Peace, W. H. Phipps, Minuet, and Picardy. Sculptured, crisply-cut Burma 
has an opulence of form that makes it a masterpiece. The florets are so round and full, 
so trimly tailored and so generously ruffled. A tone poem in rose red. Fabulous! Now 
down in price so that it can be appreciated by all. If your cut-flower sales are lagging, 
plant Burma. Does not open too well in water, but what a glad! The spikes in the arrange- 
ment on page 18 are from No. 4 bulbs.

Carnival e e¢ e carnival spirit finds expression in this cheerful Butt creation. 
It is a ruffled bright scarlet set off with a large contrasting white throat. A model grower.

* (400) (Majeski, 1944) (95 days) This ruffled creamy white 
Casablanca e e will open six to eight florets on towering spikes. A good 
late cut-flower.

Chamouny e e e e ‘This sister-seedling of Maxwelton was introduced into 
the gladiolus world without fanfare.However, its distinctive shade of cerise-rose and silver 
picotee edge have won it universal approval. The color suggests the rose drift of a peach 
orchard at the foot of a snowy mountain. Opens up to ten florets on tall spikes. Chamouny 
sometimes comes short but lots of water and cool weather such as we have some seasons 
overcome this deficiency. We like to bloom it in September. Pictured on back cover.

Cherry Jam e e e ling) Ruffled salmon pink Cherry Jam is certainly one 
of the very best blotched varieties. The salmon carries a hint of cherry in its coloring which 
is accentuated by a large cherry explosion on the lower petals. A personality distinctly dif- 
ferent from other glads. Good habits. Illustrated on page 16..

Chic * * %*% (440) (Marshall, 1948) (80 days) Chic is a daintily ruffled, exquisite 
oie pearly pink with a beautiful floret formation. Further testing is 
necessary to ascertain its complete merits under our conditions.

Connecticut Yankee **— (41) (Schenetsky, 1944) (90 days) 
e e¢ Connecticut Yankee has already made 
a name for itself on the show table. It opens about ten florets in a full double-row arrange- 
ment that makes a most commanding spike. Just the type that is chosen grand-champion 
of the show. (The loose and airy type of spike is more adaptable to arrangements.) Con- 
necticut Yankee is a rather slow propagator but the bulblets germinate so readily and 
grow so well that we feel that it will readily make the commercial grade. Color is light 
pink with a small reddish blotch. Pictured on page 16.

Corona * * * (560) (Palmer, 1940) (80 days) (Picardy x Miss New Zealand) 
e e e A corona of light rose pink encircles six or seven creamy saucers 
on giant spikes. A most alluring variety. Corona is rather particular about its growing 
conditions, but when well-grown it is very distinctive. We have an unusually healthy 
strain. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .20)
