CORAL BELLS (Clark ’30) — 186 M 
This glad has one of the smallest florets of any 
variety. It will open 4-5 coral blooms spaced far 
apart on stems that sometimes crook, which makes 
it nice for arranging, if not for show. This won 
smallest floret in show in 1950 at Chicago, Madi- 
son and LeRoy, and in 1951 at Chicago. 
L 15¢; M. 2-25¢; S. 3-25e 
CRINKLES (Kunderd 716) — 262 L 
Here’s a persistent winner of ribbons, often tak- 
ing best in section. Deep rose florets slightly ruf- 
fled on sturdy spikes. An old variety but still hard 
too beat in its class, and stock very scarce as it 
propagates slowly. Listed by only 2 or 3 catalogers 
in the country. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢c 
CRINKLETTE (Butt ’41) — 224 E 
One of the most beautiful of all the small glads. 
A dainty spike of 12 buds, with 3 or 4 open. Clean 
orange color with pleasing throat mark. Florets 
Slightly ruffled. Excellent for breeding. 
L. 2-25ce; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
DOLORES (Vasaturo ’43) — 240 E 
Light pink with large white throat. Clean and neat. 
Three and 4 open on straight spikes. 
L. 15¢ M. 2-25e; S. 3-25c 
DON PEDRO — 217 M 
This is an old one I was fortunate in relocating. 
It’s a striking blotched variety — red on buff — 
and consequently a valuable addition to the weak 
buff class. The well built spikes carry 4 to 5 open 
D. P. elicites favorable comment, and wins ribbons, 
wherever shown. Poor propagating habits make this 
worthy flower very rare. Act quickly if you wish 
lo share a part of my small bulb stock. 
L. or M. 50e 
DRAGONETTE (Kaylor ’38) — 243 L 
This is a variety deserving more attention. Straight, 
sturdy little spikes of 18 buds give forth with 4 and 
5 open florets that are basically pink but have ex- 
ceptional'ly larve yellow throats. You will like this 
different variety. 
L. 25c; M. 15c 
DRIVEN SNOW (Troyer ’51) — 200 M 
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 place- 
ment. Driven Snow will give our present whites 
plenty of competition. 
Bulbs — $3.00 each, any size 
ELDA (Vasaturo ’43) — 220 M 
A pure golden yellow; not a mark on it; really neat 
and clean. Opens 4 to 6 on 16 bud spike. 
L. 20c; M. 15c; S. 10c¢ 
ELF (Diener ’21) — 222 M 
An old variety that should be grown more. It’s 
very well behaved: sturdy little spikes have 4 and 
5 open. Deep salmon-orange florets have pleasing 
vel'ow throats. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25c 
FAIRY (Kuhn ’46) — 266 M as 
Here is a fine little glad in a color class not too 
thickly populated. It’s delicate lavender, holding 
5 and 6 open on a w?!! built spike of 14 to 16 buds. 
L. 20c; M. 2-25c; S. 4-25¢

I made no choices as to colors or types; the selection was All] 
yours. They were all wonderful.’—E.D., New York.
