New Introductions From Holland 
For the first time, this season, the following 10 new varieties of gladiolus are released 
in the United States. They are very new and very few bulbs are in existence of all the 
varieties, so in all cases only small bulbs are offered. In a few cases where medium bulbs 
are available, we will send these instead of small for the same price. Please do not specify 
as we will send the largest bulbs available in all cases unless directed to do otherwise. 
All of these varieties are introductions of the firm De Bruyn of Holland. Among them are 
several that are sure to make the same great names that some other Dutch varieties have 
already made. Here is a fine selection of new “blues,” also. 
BLUE MONARCH Enormous giant blue. From a cross of Grand Monarch and Abu Hassan. 
It is probably the largest “blue” glad ever raised. Color a medium-violet-blue with 
deeper pansy-violet markings on lower petals. Small only. Each $4.00. 
EXPECTATION A small flowered new “blue’’ of deep pansy-violet with small darker blue- 
colored markings and a thin whitish pencil line on the lower petals. Strong, healthy

GULLIVER A giant glad, dwarfing many others. Beautiful wide open round florets. Long

coloring in throat with light green blotch on lower petals. Late flowering and grows 
about 6 feet high. Small only. Each $4.00 
IMPERATOR Deep violet-blue with slightly lighter throat and darker markings on lower 
petals. Spikes are not too long and flowers are not large but it is by far one of.the 
healthiest, strongest and most rapid propagators to be found in this color class.

LONG-RUN Clear cyclamen purple with large creamy white blotches on lower petals. Thin, 
stiff and strong spikes. Medium sized flowers are placed in single file on the stalk.

what diamond shaped, sharply edged yellow. A very striking blotched gladiolus.
