1951 Introductions of Small Glads 
Betty Blonde—200—(Deming ’51) 
Betty Blonde is a white sport of the well known 
Betty Coed. It is like the Coed in form of floret 
and spike and in good growing and propagating 
habits—like it in every respect, in fact, except 
color, which is a pleasing clean white. Betty 
Blonde is sure to do a lot of winning in the white 
class, and for arrangements its dainty prim flor- 
ets will be most appropriate. 
L. or M. 25c 
Betty Blushes—240—(Deming ’51) 
Betty Blushes is another sport, or possibly a color 
selection, of Betty Coed. At any rate it has var- 
ied from the prototype in the opposite direction 
of Betty Blonde, being a good deep pink a con- 
trasted to the elusive shell pink of the Coed. 
Blushes also is a sturdy grower and propagator. 
While it will have a lot of competition in the 
pink class it will be a welcome addition to the 
ranks of fine arrangement glads.

Driven Snow-——200—(Troyer ’51) 
(Originator’s Description) 
This is the first inbred gladiolus offered to the 
public, a product of the inbred hybrid technique 
that has revolutionized the breeding methods of 
corn, tomatoes, and other plants. Driven Snow 
is a small facsimile of White Christmas, being 
nicely ruffled, tall, and healthy. Six to 8 of the 
white florets open on long flowerheads in open, 
airy placement. Driven Snow will give our pres- 
ent whites plenty of competition. 
Bulbs—-$3.00 each, any size 
Spunky—280—(Fairchild 751) 
(Originator’s Description) 
Spunky constitutes a welcome addition to the 
smokys—our weakest color class in small type 
glads. It is dark smoky brown with a white pico- 
tee margin inherited from Atom, the poilen par- 
ent. Florets measure 2%4 inches, and 5 will open 
and 3 show color on spikes of 16 buds. Spunky 
blooms early and propagates rapidly. 
L. or M. $2.00 each 
Yellow Sea—210—(Washburn ’51) 
(Originator’s Description) 
Lemon yellow with lip petals butter-yellow. 
Twenty inch flowerheads are composed of 15 
buds holding as many as 8 open 2% inch florets 
with several buds in color. Blooms in 70 days. 
L. or M. $1.00 each
