Spring 1950 
Choice New Gladiolus 
Introducing GOLDEN CROWN 
(SNOW PRINCESS ORANGE SEEDLING) 
Color is a very clean deep yellow, really a new and different shade of yellow, without blotch or markings. 
Florets 5 in. and over, 5 to 6 open, 20 buds on a strong straight spike 55 in. high. It blooms in mid-season. 
Golden Crown produces a high percentage of good spikes. Being a seedling of Snow Princess it has the 
good qualities of that variety which makes it an excellent commercial prospect. Bulblet production and ger- 
mination good. This variety will do its share of winning on the show table but its greatest value will be as a 
cut flower as it has the color and good performance together with health of bulb and plant, the qualities 
necessary to make a good commercial. Golden Crown bloomed the first time in 1946 and we labeled it out- 
standing at that time. Since then it has equalled or surpassed its original performance.
