GLADIOLUS — Best Sellers - 1940-1950 
Variety and Description 
STOPLIGHT (ctins-42) 452-90 
Don’t confuse this red with yellow listed on page 30. Names 
similar but varieties entirely different in every way. Each is 
valuable in its color class. This is a clear ruffled red open- 
ing 6-8 blooms on a wiry stem. Heavy producer and a 
recognized commercial. 
SUMMER GAL (Zimmer-4a) 542-80 
Sensational show flower, beautiful ruffled geranium-pink. 
8 open, 6-inch blooms on a 5-foot plant. Real good grower 
and the best in the deep pink class. 
SUNDANCE (aimey-49) 412-85 
Ruffled medium yellow self. Opens 8-12 blooms, 5 inches in 
diameter, on a 26-bud flower head. 51% feet tall, it stands 
heat well. Good placement, excellent attachment, and it 
opens to the tip. 
SURFSIDE (winsor-37) 400-92 
Very consistent commercial ruffled white with slight pencil- 
ing in throat. Heavy grower. 
THEMESONG (klein-47) 470-88 
Mild purple with deeper purple blotch. Very unusual and 
distinctive. Ruffled florets, 17-19 buds, 7-8 open. Placement 
and attachment excellent. Always straight. 
TIVOLI (x. & m.-47) 460-90 
Lovely clear rose the color of old Coryphee, but this is 
straight. Tall, upright, with 8-10 open, well spaced and 
placed. Individually beautiful and in a mass—delightful. 
TOPFLITE (casalle-46) 560-85 
A sensation. Truly a beautiful smooth rosy pink with a 
small feather in the throat. 5-inch florets in a double row 
on a 55-inch plant. A basket of these is out of this world. 
TREASURE ISLAND cins-47) 542-90 
A beautiful light rose-orchid. It was very good for us. A 
real beauty. 
TROCADERO itins-45) 424-87 
Warm yellow-salmon-orange. This is a monotone but very 
lovely. A good propagator and an excellent variety. 
TRUELOVE® klein-45) 440-70 
Good commercial; early. Clean pink, 22-inch flower head. 
Height 48 inches, 17 buds, 6 open. A good grower with a 
well balanced spike. 
TUNIAS MAHOMET (bcth-43) 580-75 
Smoky plum-rose with some orange in the throat, immense 
florets. Can be grown to 8 inches in diameter, but you will 
have to feed it and water it to get that size. Double row 
facing with 8 open. 
VAGABOND PRINCE  (Paimer-34) 390-80 
This is still the most popular of the smokies. Gorgeous 
mahogany-brown with a flame blotch. One of my own 
favorites.
