MISS WISCONSIN (Krueger ’43) 460 
An old timer that has withstood the challenges of many a rose introduction, but it will 
not be exceeded until its own progeny will be offered to the gladiolus world. This soft 
attractive medium rose is priced in later sections of this listing. 
NEW YORKER (Graff ’50) 540 
Last year New Yorker impressed me very highly. It repeated its sterling performance 
again this season. The buff pink florets of New Yorker have real beauty of form and 
color it opens 8 florets at one time. I consider it to be the best of Dr. Graff's many ster- 
ling originations. 
Price each bulb L—$2.00; M—$1.50; Sm—$1.00; 10 bbits.—$2.00; 100 bblts.—$16.00. 
PINK CLASSIC (Melk Bros. 751) 530 
The very arty salmon florets of Pink Classic are tightly attached. It opens 8 or more 
florets at one time. It is tall and possesses all the necessary virtues of becoming a great 
commercial. This is a choice gladiolus that you will welcome in your planting.

QUEEN MARY (Torre-Flad ’50) 530 
Queen Mary derives its arty florets from one of its parents, Eliz. the Queen. Hight or 
more of the soft salmon florets open at one time on long spikes. Queen Mary deserves in- 
clusion in this listing of the ‘‘best in gladiolus’’. Better distribution of this fine salmon will 
bring it the honors that it deserves.

REBOUND (Wesselman ’49) 460 
Extra, extra early Rebound, with its three toned effect achieved by a much more in- 
tense rose color on the reverse petal sides, and a lighter edging on the frontal facing won 
florists approval in spite of some misplaced florets. Rebound is a great early commercial. 
Price each bulb L—50c; M—35ce; Sm—25c; 10 bblts.—50c; 100 bblts.—$4.00. 
Unit B 5 L, 10 M, 15 Sm and 300 bblits. $15.00. 
REDWING (Wright-Geve-Graff ’48) 536 
King of the reds! The long spikes of this fine red find favor with all florists and ex- 
hibitors. Its exemplary habits make it a great commercial gladiolus. You can’t go wrong 
with Redwing.

also in field performance, of any glad except Spic & Span.

SKIPPY (Melk Bros. ’51) 401 
A most refreshing color combination, clear ruffled white with a pinkish scarlet throat 
embellishment. This is one of my favorite gladiolus.

SPARKLE (Allen-Ruble ’50) 530 
What a splash Sparkle will make at the glad shows when this gigantic salmon becomes 
better known. It is a profuse bloomer from small bulb stock, and an excellent germinator.

virtues.

SPIC & SPAN (Carlson-Puerner ’46) 432 
Too much praise cannot be given to this sterling ruffled salmon florets and ‘‘gun bar- 
rel’ spikes. It is the supreme commercial gladiolus and a regular contender for top show 
honors. Spic & Span is priced in a later section of this list. 
VARIATION (Krueger ’41) 340 
The classic pink color of Variation has not been approached though it was introduced 
10 years ago. It is a prime florist favorite and a complete sell out in spite of its rough 
looking bulb. Variation belongs in the “‘top ten’’ gladiolus. This fine gladiolus is priced in 
a later section of this catalogue.
