BIRCHVILLE GARDENS 
DARK DAVID (Morgan 51) 554. 
Dark David is head and shoulders ah2ad of 
any other maroon gladiolus that I know 
of. One of the few meritorious 500 size 
glads in its color class at the present time. 
Dark David will open eight 53 inch florets 
at once. A wonderful grower, approaching 
five feet, and a consistent producer of 
shew spikes. Splendid propagator. 
DARK VICTORY (Whitby 48) 452 
Deep maroon with no other markings 
grows up to 60” tall with 28 inch flower- 
heads with 24 buds. The 5 inch florets are 
well placed will open ten. Makes strong 
robust plants and blooms in 75 days. A 
Canadian variety that should become 
popu'ar. 
DAYBREAK (Harris 50) 516-80 
A buffy cream with mauve lines that grows 
up to 56” tal'!. Opens 8 on a 20 bud spike. 
Always straight with perfect placement 
oud good attachment. A coming commer- 
cial. 
DESERT DUSK (Rich 50) 586-100

salmon with blue overcast ard orange red 
blotch. Very tall grower with long flower 
head. Opens 8 well placed florets It is 
lightly ruffled with good substance. 
DIADEM (Lines 46) 460-75 
A two toned rose with a cream throat. An 
early bloomer that is said to be fragrant. 
Has been fine here for the past 2 years. 
One of the favorites with visitors. 
DOLLY VARDEN (Harris 50) 5382-95 
A blazing salmon with a cream throat. 
Nine large 64 inch florets open with 7 
showing color on a 21 bud spike, with a 26 
inch flowerhead. One that you should get 
a start in as it will be one of the best cut- 
flowers, and show variety. 
DOROTHY ARMSTRONG (Beardmore 48) 
470-70 
This is the earliest and certainly ore of 
the best purples. Eight wide open 4% inch 
florets on a long flowerhead. This is a one 
hundred percent cutter of good spikes. Due 
to be a heavy show winner and an out-— 
standing cut flower. 
DRUM MAJOR (Wilson 42) 423-85 
Choice big exhibition orange with a vel— 
vety deep blotch. Opens 8 well placed 5 
inch florets on a 20 bud spike. 
ELDORADO (K. & M. 48) 312-85 
Introducer claims this is the most perfect 
deep yellow without markings. The tall 
spikes of 18 buds have 6-8 open which 
are perfectly placed. Looks like a healthy 
grower.
