OLD SOUTH—386—(Almey 744) 
Altho presently classed with mediums this is 
wrong. O. S. is definitely a small type glad and 
probably will be reclassified as such for 1950 
shows. At any rate, it is a fine little variety being 
rose smoky with slate flecking in hot weather 
and unmarked in cool weather; it’s good either 
way. Slight ruffling adds appeal. Four to 5 flor- 
ets open in vertical placement on tall spikes. 
L. 25c; M. 20c; S. 15c 
ORANGE BUTTERFLY—222—(Salbach ’27) 
Here is one that likes to open them up. Eight to 
10 open at once is easy for O.B., and it will do 
even better than this occasionally as shown by 
the spike on front cover that won “Most Open” 
(14) for John Jacobs at the Edwardsville, IIl., 
show last summer. Florets are medium orange 
with red lines on deep yellow lip. They are spaced 
well apart. | 
L. 10c; M. 2-15c; S. 4-15ce 
ORANGE DELIGHT—222—(Kunderd ’27) 
This is a little beauty. Dainty florets have pointed, 
lacinated petals that are deep orange marbled 
lighter orange. Won't open over 8 at a time, but 
is very useful in arrangements and therefore a 
favorite with the ladies. 
L. 10c; M. 2-15ce; S. 4-15c 
OSAGE—236— (Brown ’35) 
A sure winner in the scarlet class. Five to 7 
light scarlet florets open at a time. They are set 
close together in vertical fashion on tall straight 
spikes. Very dependable. 
L. 20¢ 
PEGGY ANN—240—(Vasaturo ’48) 
Very tall and stretchy and one of the strongest 
contenders in the pink class. Will open 6 medium 
pink florets with white lips and rose stippled 
throats. Won a section championship for me at 
Kankakee, Illinois show last season.

PELLETIER D’OISY—290— (Lemoine) 
Here is one of the strangest of all glads—a sure 
winner-in the A.O.C, class, ‘and an “Oh” and 
“Ah” getter if there ever was one. The women 
call in chartreuse, which is to say it is yellow 
green with orange edging and stippling. Nothing 
like it in any other glad. Stock is very scarce. 
Don’t think you'll find it in any other list. Those 
who order this late will be disappointed as I can’t 
keep up with demand, and this means a price 
raise.

My order of gladiolus bulbs received in good order. 
They appear very clean and healthy. I want to thank you 
for the extras and generous count. Will inform you later 
in the year the results which I am sure will be satis- 
factory. Thank you again for your attention to my small 
order and will be glad to recommend you when the op- 
portunity presents itself.—B.J.K., Milwaukee, Wisc.-
