BIRCHVILLE GARDENS 
CLARENCE D. FORTNAM (Kadel 50) 
440—90 
Beautiful blush pink that opens 8 on a 24 
bud spike. The 5 inch florets are heavily 
ruffled and need!epointed. Florets have 
good attachment and firm substance. This 
is a worderful show variety winning many 
times as most beautiful. 
COACHMAN (Woods 49) 4380—85 
A p'easing pure pirk, with white midribs. 
The petals are recurved and ruffled. Opens 
up to 10 on a 26 bud spike. Certainly one 
of the very best show and commercial 
variety. Stem could be a litt'e longer. 
COLUMBIA (Roberts 51) 407—86 
Very near the color of Corona with the 
exception that the halo is more uniform. 
Opens 7 firmly well placed florets on a 24 
to 26 inch flowerhead. This one is going 
places as a show variety, and will become 
one of the finest commercials. Winston 
Roberts is to be congratulated for this one. 
CONNIE G. (Woods 48) 506—75 
Very outstanding new cream with heavily 
ruffled 6 inch florets. Opens 8 to 10 on a 
20 to 22 bud spike that grows 55 to 60 
inches tall. You will be thrilled when you 
grow Connie G. It is the most beautiful 
cream you have ever beheld. 
CRIMSON TIDE (Roberts 45) 452—90 
A deep crimson-red with exceptionally 
heavy substance. Opens 6 very heavily ruf- 
fled florets on a fairly tall spike. Slow in- 
creaser, but certainly well worth growing. 
One of my favorites. 
CROWN JEWEL (Fischer 51) 461—70 
A stunningly blotch lavender, bordering to 
rose pink. Something entirely different. 
Will be a marvelous basket glad. Spikes 
carry 18 buds, opening 7 to 8. Bulblets are 
extra strong growers. 
CYNTHIA (Graff 49) 410—75 
A dependable early yellow, that should 
become a good commercial. Opens 6 florets 
of 4144” size on an 18 bud spike. Produces 
disease resistant bulbs and is a good in- 
creaser. 
DARK DAVID (Morgan 51) 554—90 
Dark David is head and shoulders ahead of 
any other maroon gladiolus that I know 
of. One of the few meritorious 500 size 
giads in its color class at the present time. 
Dark David will open eight 5% inch florets 
at once. A wonderful grower, approaching 
five feet, and a consistent producer of 
show spikes. Splendid propagator.
