ANY OTHER COLOR—90 
390 PINOCCHIO (Evans 40) very early. 
A true novelty gladiolus. Color is a 
novelty blending of pink, yellow, 
green, orange and red without any 
emphatic preponderance. At a distance 
the yellow, orange and red give it a 
prevailing orange tone but classifiers 
decided the 90 series applied. Florets 
are of heavy texture, 314-4 inches, 
round, 5-7 wide open, intensely ruffled 
and fluted. Placement is airy on 
stretchy spikes 50 inches high. Flower- 
head 24 inches on wiry stem well 
above the foliage which is short. Good 
propagator, bulblets run large, most 
of them bloom. Has won hundreds of 
awards with more than its share of 
special awards, section champ, most 
ruffled and Award of Merit, Ohio 
Society. 
Our ratings, B 84. 
L .10 Blts (100, $1.). 
590 TUNIA’S ATOMIC BURST (Both 
’46) (our ’48 import release) M. Vivid 
bronzy red with a slight smoky over- 
cast on the three inner petals. Some 
radiant streaks of deeper color at 
outer edge undoubtedly helped to sug- 
gest the name. Makes full double row 
placement, well faced, stupendous 
spikes with much bud color, bursting 
open quickly up to 10 huge florets. 
It looks destined to top the 590 sec- 
tion as soon as stocks are available. 
Our ratings, 84-A-B. 
Each L .550 M .35 S .25 Bits .05 
(100, $3.). 
590 TUNIA’S ELITE (Both) (our 747 
import release) EM. Seven inch and 
larger, giant, round, wide open florets. 
A bit ruffled. The color is a bronzy 
orange, edged smoky orange, with 
prominent throat marking of fiery 
orange red. The substance is good and 
the florets are held rigidly on tall, 
strong stems. Good propagator. 
The more we see of this variety the 
better we like its wonderful autumn 
coloring and powerful growing habits. 
Our ratings, 84-B-A. 
Each L .25 M .20 S .12 Bits ($100, 
$1.50) (1000, $10.) (Pt., $15.). 
WHITE ELEPHANT SALE 
None in substantial supply. These we 
no longer need for many various reasons. 
Some we abandon, having listed better. 
Some on trial, inferior to those listed. 
Some very good but in too small supply 
to list and to do so would cause no end 
of refunds. 
Some sold so well we have not enough 
left to warrant listing, etc. 
Prices are as you find them listed in 
other reputable catalogs. Sizes available 
we mention. “B” for bulblets.
