DEEP VELVET (454) Arnett ’50 
Opens 6 round, wide open florets with 6 more showing color. The color

ably has the best color value of any glad in this catalog.

DOLLY VARDEN (532) Harris 1950. 
A really huge glad that opens 8 with 8 showing. Not only large, but a 
beautiful salmon pink blending to a cream throat. Very healthy and good in- 
creaser, will make it a very popular commercial and show glad. 
L—$1.25, M—$1.00, S—$0.75, Blts. 20—$1.00. 
DUCHESS (4381) Beaton 750 
A light salmon with light yellow throat contrasted beautiful with a small 
scarlet strip. A splendid all around commercial. [Extra fine basket glad. 
L—$1.00, M—$0.75, S—%0.50, Blts 10—$1.00. 
ELMERS ROSH (460) Fischer 751 
An up and coming commercial, this glad surpasses 5’ in height, with a 
wonderfully stretchy flowerhead of 20 to 22 buds, with 7 or 8 open. The 
florets have a wonderfully heavy substance and intense ruffling. Altheugh in 
the 400 class, the florets are so large they barely miss the 500 size. A very 
rich and unusual coloring combines with 'sumptous ruffling to produce a 
wonderful glad in every respect. Winner of the American Home Achieve- 
ment award as a seedling, this is definitely an outstanding variety. 
L—$1.00, M—$0.75, S—$0.50, Blts. 10—$1.00. 
HMBERS (490) Arnett 751 
There were some “takers” of this rather expensive glad that we modestly 
described in our 1951 catalog. I only wish you could read all of the comph- 
mentary, often surprised reports on this outstandingly different gladiolus. Em- 
bers will rate both as a commercial and show flower. The unusual glowing 
scarlet shading to a harmonizing cream is a brillant color that must be seen to 
be appreciated. The 8 wide open strongly attached large florets face perfectly 
on a long straight well balanced spike that grows fully 54” tall. Florists have 
taken to Embers like an elephant takes peanuts. Blooms in 78 days-excellent 
propagator in every way. ‘Tops in health.

ENCORE (4238) Beaton 749 
A fine salmon orange, ruffled, and extremely long lasting. It can stand 
out of water for hours without the least sign of wilting. Its brilliant scarlet 
marking in the throat contrasts beautifully to make the whole a most vivid 
color combination. lHxcellent propogator, very healthy.
