< (554) (Morgan, 1951) (90 
Dark David days) (Mrs. Mark’s Memory 
x Red Charm) (Australian variety) 
It is pretty hard to imagine that anyone on the very 
opposite side of the planet from us is doing some very 
significant breeding of our favorite flower! But Mr. E. 
T. Morgan, residing in far western Australia, has made 
glad hybridizing his hobby and has launched his career 
as a plant breeder with the finest black-red gladiolus 
I have ever seen. Indeed, I’d say Dark David (which 
was named after a race horse) is head and shoulders 
ahead 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 
542-inch florets at once. A wonderful grower, ap- 
proaching five feet, and a consistent producer of show 
spikes. Splendid propagator. Illustrations on pages 8 
and 14. Limited number of large bulbs available. 
Any size, each $3; 12 for $30. 
Bulblets 10 for $4; 50 for $18; 100 for $30. 
SPECIAL OFFERS ON INTRODUCTIONS 
Our group offers on introductions last year were one 
repeating them we have tried as far as possible to see 
cluding items like Gold and Dark David where the stock 
of the most popular features of our catalog. In 
our customers’ viewpoint, even to the extent of in- 
situation scarcely warrants their inclusion at all. 
As for our own originations, we are, of course, adhering to the price policy announced several years ago 
of not charging more than $2 for a Noweta origination. For the benefit of new customers, let me say that the 
reason we are able to do this when many others are introducing glads at $5 and $10 each is that we grow 
our originations one year longer before introducing them. This not only insures larger stocks but insures 
adequate testing before a variety is put on the market. 
In these collections we are even more generous than 
in our regular price policy. As a result, instead of getting only one or two introductions of sometimes 
doubtful performance for $7.50, as might too often be the case, you get bulbs of TEN adequately tested 
introductions for only $7.50 in collection A. That’s really a wonderful value, especially when you realize 
that our 1951 introductions are fully as outstanding as they have been in previous years. 
guaranteeing that any of the following sets will give you 
growing experience.

one of the BIGGEST THRILLS in your flower
