NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1952 
From Charles W. Jones, Jr. 
FIJI — Class 277, parentage unknown. 
Originator’s description—‘Light violet splashes on a very pale lavender, with 
a lemon-yellow bordered large reddish violet throat blotch that is very noticeable, 
covering nearly one-half of each lower petal. 344-inch slightly ruffled florets on a 
12-bud spike with 3 open and 3 in color. Flowerhead, good length; field height, 
48 inches. Blooms in early season. 
I grew Fiji the past season and found it very attractive and quite different 
from any of the 250 other varieties of small glads I am growing. The low intro- 
ductory price puts this fine small glad within the reach of all.

CLAUCARCY — Class 241. Parentage, Pink Paragon and Snow Princess. 
Originator’s description—‘“Pink with cream throat and white ribs; 214” 
florets on a 20-bud spike with 7 open and 5-6 in color; flowerhead 21”; field 
height, 55’; blooms, 87 days; bluish green foliage.” 
At Central States International Show at East Lansing, Michigan in 1951, 
where only 9 seedlings scored 80 or better, this was one of only 3 miniatures in the 
9. At the Trial Grounds at East Lansing in 1950 it scored 84.2 with the comment: 
“This is really a fine glad of its type and the best we have seen.” At this same Trial 
Grounds in 1951 its score was 81. 
At the Massachusetts Trial Grounds in 1951, Claucarcy scored 86.12 and was 
best of 18 entries, Their description and data “Informal delicate pink with yellow 
throat; style, narrow plain floret; floret, 2.94” ; total buds 17; 6 open; height, 53.7”; 
days to bloom 85; cormel production, very good; comments, “This is really a beau- 
tiful gladiolus, produces good flowers from small and large corms and is a good 
keeper.” 
Siainiee the 1951 show season Claucarcy, as a seedling scored a first and 80 
or better at Coloma, Toledo, Mt. Pleasant and East Lansing. Also a first and 
size champion in either single or 3 spikes or both at Detroit, Mt. Pleasant, Ann 
Arbor and Coloma. First open single spike at East Lansing. First open 3 spike at 
Saginaw. First for most open (10) at Detroit. 
I have not grown Claucarcy but the above achievements speak well enough to 
recommend it.
