but are arranged rather informally. A fine 
propagator. 
Last August at the Boston show I had the 
finest exhibition I ever had and several people 
told me the basket of 74] MAHAL was the best 
thing in the exhibit. | honestly don’t know a 
prettier white. It will be wonderful for baskets 
and arrangements. 
The stock is limited and should sell for much 
more than I am pricing it. See colored picture 
on another page.

Pirovette (232) Gdlg. 44771) (Crinklette 
x Fluffy Ruffles) Silver Medal 
Award Gladiolus Grower’s trial grounds in 
1950. 
Pirouette is a grand ruffled miniature in a 
new and exciting color, being a deep salmon 
with a stippled throat. 
It has long flower heads. 16-18 buds and 5-6, 
334” florets open at once, well placed and firmly 
attached. The florets that look right at you add 
to the attractiveness of this variety. 
Any size 1/5.00, 10/40.00 
Gremlin (250) (dig. 44971) (Crinklette x 
T.A Wilson) Gremlin is a ruffled 
miniature in a very unusual and interesting color. 
The outside of petals are light rosy red with a 
stippled throat banded yellow. 
Florets are of heavy substance, quite but not 
deeply ruffled and a little less than 3’’ in diameter. 
Plants 36-38’ in total height, flower heads 
16-17’’ and 15 to 16 total buds of which 5-6 
Open at once with 4-5 in color. 
Besides being another in our series of ruffled 
miniatures, Gremlin has semi upright florets 
making it a fascinating glad for all kinds of 
arrangements. Just out of this world for table 
centerpieces and small containers.

Redskin (436) (Sdlg. 40273) (Red Charm 
x J. S. Bach) A bright scarlet self 
color, perhaps a bit deeper in the throat. 
This big husky glad is both extremely 
vigorous and very very early. It has for years 
been one of our first varieties to bloom. Add to 
this extreme florescence 8-9 open, 6-7 in full 
color and you have a variety that is most valu- 
able to the florist and amateur alike. 
In height it averages 53-55’, 27’ flower 
heads, 19-20 buds and 5’ florets. Placement 
double and nicely tapered well balanced spikes. 
Its one fault is in attachment which is not of 
the best but still quite good. When cut in tight 
bud it is a good shipper and opens easily and 
well in water. 
Any size 1/3.00, 10/24.00

Tyrone (46) 
New 
orchid lavender of 
a nice clean shade. 
Small white mark- 
ing in the throat 
with a slight pep- 
pering of laven- 
der. It opens 6-8 
on a head of 20- 
22 buds. Holds 
its color well to 
the tip. Facing, 
placement and at- 
tachment are just 
about ideal. The 
plant is tall and 
straight with dark 
green healthy fo- 
liage. Good propa- 
gator and grower. 
Tyrone has 
won oodles of 
prizes including 
Grand Champs, 
etc., and has at- 
tracted lots of at- 
tention. It looks 
like a comer for 
exhibition or flor- 
ist’s use. 
Any size 1/2.00,

selected bbts.
