The new fragrant Gladiolus with size, color, 
good growing habits as well. Very noticeable when 
confined in a room for a few hours or in the 
newly opened flowers in the early morning. This 
should be valuable to hybridizers working on 
fragrance. 
This variety was not introduced on its merit 
of fragrance alone, as it is a very fine easy grower, 
making 414 to 5 ft. spikes under normal condi- 
tions and very heavy rank grower from bulblets. 
Every large bulb makes two fine spikes, both the 
same size and usually no more or no less. Will 
cut 100% first class usable spikes. In my opinion 
the classification on this Glad should be 460 
but the 500 size can be grown easily by de-eying 
the bulbs and growing one spike instead of two. 
Color, light rose, a shade lighter than Cha- 
mouny and a color that takes with the public. 
One thing I have noticed, as spikes bloom out 
especially when cut, the florets deepen in shade 
instead of fade. Florets open beautifully when cut 
tight, adding to its commercial value. GWEN is 
only a moderate propagator and will remain in se- 
lect growers lists for some time. If you grow cut 
flowers this variety will be very valuable to have 
in your collection. 
ELIZABETH 
THE QUEEN 
Another that needs no introduction. Just theg 
most beautiful Glad ever introduced. Has become 
one of the leading commercials as well as a show 
record that probably is not equaled, since Picardy. 
Its only fault is its tendency toward shortness. 
But plenty of moisture corrects this situation.
