Tivoli kk wk *k = (406) (K. & M., 1947) (90 days) Older glad fans will remember 
ee ¢ @ <a variety called Coryphee that was such a lucious pink color 
that it would melt a heart of stone. Tivoli is the modern counterpart of Coryphee. To 
an enchanting pure-pink color has been added excellent habits and a strong constitution. 
You won’t err if you make this superb glad one of the cornerstones of your gladiolus col- 
lection. (L 1-.20; 10-1.606) CM 1-.15; 10-1.00) (S 2-.20; 10-.60) (Blbts. 10-.25; 100-2.00) 
] * *& *& * (460) (La Salle, 1946) (90 days) This luminous, crystalline 
Topflite ° rose-pink is truly a topflight connoisseur’s variety. There 
were some ethereal baskets of Topflite at the Binghamton show last summer. Not a good 
bulb maker but near the top for beauty. 
(L 1-1.50) CM 1-1.00; 10-8.00) (S 1-.50; 10-4.00) (Blbts. 2-.25; 10-1.00) 
Treasure Island <— °°%2) “ins, 1947) (90 days) (Rosa van Lima x 
e California) A giant light salmon that has been

healthy grower in the field.

wa * * (424) (Lins, 1946) (85 days) ((Picardy x Aflame) X 
Trocadero e e e Pfitzer’s Triumph) This glad has the novel quality of 
appearing one color from a distance (carrot orange) and a different color close up (light 
salmon-scarlet). At its best a very beautiful variety. I have discarded my stock of this 
variety and purchased a strain that has retained its original vigor. The very beautiful 
form of Trocadero is evident in the picture on page 40.

you were perfect.’’—W. G.

varieties our florists grab 
first.’-—Dr. John M. Woods. 

Ohio: “Regal Red was 
everything you claimed it 
to be. Spikes were about 
five feet tall with many 
florets open. A very 
straight grower. Truly a 
fine red for me. Bulblet 
production good.’’—Herbert 
W. Bope. 
Nebraska: “‘Arethusa was 
my favorite from last sum- 
mer’s crop. I loved her 
color, her ruffling, every- 
thing. Beauty’s Blush won 
first prize for me at the 
Lincoln County fair. The 
opening day was the hottest 
day of the summer here. 
People fainted in the same 
building where the flowers 
were. Some of my glads 
fainted too. I was sorry I 
had ever taken them out of 
meine cool cellar. But 
Beauty’s Blush took the 
heat like a_ soldier. My 
spike looked cool and fresh 
for the whole four days.’’— . * - - Or
