THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 
SCARLET—36 Series 
437 CARNIVAL (Butt-Evans 47) EM. 
Bright, dazzling scarlet with clear 
white throat. Exhibition quality spikes 
are regularly produced and it opens 
7-10 well placed florets at once. At- 
tachment and substance are good and 
one spike is a bouquet in itself. Color 
is uncommonly attractive and the 
firm. The Holland growers say it will 
take the world by storm, both for 
exhibition and commercial purposes. 
Has what we call “hot” color. 
We consider this the very best of the 
late varieties. Powerful plants, in- 
tense color, no crooks.

436 JOHAN van KONYNENBURG 
(K & M) (our ’47 import release) M. 
Named for one of the founders of 
small orange red feather in the throat. 
Color value is very high and this, to- 
gether with the shapely spikes it 
makes with 8 open and good length, 
helps it to maintain a high place in 
the winner columns. The propagation 
is under the “satisfactory level” and 
the plants have a tendency to mature 
early, after blooming, indicating need 
of early digging. Otherwise we have 
a good glad here, approaching the 
reasonable price range. 
Currently top winner in its class and 
we saw two grand champs (both Pa. 
G. S. shows, 749)
