per 100. 
FREEDOM. (Midseason-Decorative) This new variety 
caused quite a sensation at the flower shows and garden 
club exhibits this past summer. It is another “Picardy” 
sport, but quite different due to its attractive spotted 
throat. The large 5-inch florets are lavishly ruffled, pure 
white, with a stunning bright rose blotch in the throat. 
Of excellent substance and a good strong grower. Fine 
for exhibition. $5.75 for 10; $55.00 per 100.

texture and being nicely ruffled. An exhibition variety 
of rare beauty. $5.75 for 10; $55.00 per 100.

rare beauty. Tall growing with up to 8 delightful florets 
open at one time on a strong stiff stem. Beautiful old 
rose somewhat lighter toward the edges of the petals. 
Extra fine for cutting and the pleasing fragrance is some- 
thing new in Gladioli. See illustration, Color Guide. $2.00 
each; $16.00 for 10. 
NOWETA ROSE. (Midseason-Exhibition) This sensa- 
tional new variety was voted seedling champion and 
Grand Champion at the New York show in 1949 and it 
seems it has taken top prizes across the country in 1950, 
truly a Grand Champion. It is a clear cool lavender-rose 
with the blooms nicely ruffled. It grows 5 to 6 feet tall 
and 9 and more of the 24 buds are open at one time on 
strong stems. One of the finest new introductions to date. 
$1.50 each; $12.00 per 10.

golden yellow throat by far one of the most beautiful 
Gladioli to date. 10 or more perfectly placed florets open

hibition and always a prize winner. See illustration, Color 
Guide. $4.75 for 10; $45.00 per 100.

PORCELAIN BLUE. (Late-Exhibition) Pansy blue with 
a clear cream-white throat feather. A most attractive

with “Spotlight” and “Margaret Beaton”. It is a tall 
strong grower with good stems. $5.75 for 10; $55.00 
per 100, 
TROCADERO. (Midseason-Exhibition) Most easily de- 
scribed as a carrot shade of orange or a rich salmon

or for a cut collection for indoor decoration. Blends 
delightfully with either light pink or white and cream 
shades. Slightly ruffled; a lovely variety. $6.75 for 10;

beauty of this lovely variety lends itself admirably to 
decorative purposes. Nice ruffled florets of bluish lav- 
ender and a well placed cream blotch in the throat. Good 
grower and long lasting flower. $3.25 for 10; $30.00 
per 100. 
WHITE CHRISTMAS. (Midseason-Exhibition) This is 
considered by many as one of the leading introductions 
of recent years. It is highly rated in all test gardens and 
has been a consistent prize winner wherever shown. The 
snow white purity of the florets, the grace and poise of 
the plant in the garden or as a cut flower is lovely. 
Beautiful when arranged in a bouquet with Regale Lilies. 
$3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 100.
