50 import release) LM. A Salman’s 
Glory seedling. Clean silvery, creamy 
white with a soft carmine spot, not 
large. Color harmony is more delicate 
than that of the bolder Salman’s Glory 
and considerably larger, which means 
immense. Wide petals, 7-8 inch round 
florets. Should end the many year 
domination of Margaret Beaton in the 
501 Class. Another year of propaga- 
tion puts prices within reach of our 
average customer.

751 (our ’51 import release) EM. 
Huge, clean white with red _ violet 
brush on cream on lip petal. Mostly 
single lip, top petal back, inverted 
type florets. We feel sure this variety 
will produce some 40-inch flowerheads 
as 30-386 heads appear to be the rule 
rather than the exception. If you want 
the 500 size glad with longest flower- 
head, this is it. Vigorous, tall plants, 
wiry stem, 22 buds, 6-inch plain florets 
with wide, flaring petals. Our first 
at Tri-State, 751.

sensational dead white gladiolus we 
have ever seen. Can easily be grown

6-7 inch florets, 9-11 wide open, pure, 
hard, glistening white from No.: 
medium bulbs. 
In the Valleevue Test Garden tabula- 
tion we have awarded it color value 
the nearest to perfection of all. The 
spikes from small bulbs are breath- 
taking, truly magnificent. The plant 
and spike growth from small bulbs, to- 
gether with that of Mid-America, is 
definitely in a class by itself, the 
foliage being heavy, 3-4 feet tall with 
giant spikes towering above, almost 
the full equal of those from medium 
and large bulbs. The attachment is 
a bit below the satisfactory level.
