CHEYENNE (536) Wilson 1948 (80) 
A vigorous, ruffled scarlet that can be grown to huge pro- 
portions. Opens up to 8 florets of very firm texture. Ex- 
cellent propagator and grower from bulblets. Last year’s 
sales depleted our stocks of medium and small bulbs so we 
don’t have many large to offer this year.

(524) Snyder 1948 (85) 
One of the healthiest, tallest, most vigorous of all gladiolus. 
Small bulbs and even bulblets produce giant spikes. Opens 
up to 7 on extremely long flowerheads. Fast increaser and 
bulblets make good growth the first year. Color will peel in 
adverse weather conditions,

CITATION (542) Beaton 1949 (95) 
Another tall, vigorous, healthy grower. Opens up to 7 
florets on yard-long flowerheads. Color is unusually clear 
for such a giant—pure pink blending into a creamy white 
throat. Good increaser and grower from bulblets.

One of the most beautiful cream gladiolus in existence. 
Opens up to 10 very heavily ruffled florets on a long, 
stretchy flowerhead. Good increaser; fair grower from bulb- 
lets. Not only one of the most beautiful in the cream class

From Port Arthur, Texas 
I just want to say a few words about the fine bulbs I re- 
cewed from you. Gold, Patrol, Spic & Span, and Troca- 
dero were outstanding. Best of luck for the coming sea- 
son. 
Pasa 
From Washington, D. C. 
I just made another Grand Slam in the Washington show 
with your bulbs. Those No. 2 King David I. received 
from you in the spring were beautiful and made wonderful 
spikes. The Grand Champion spike in the Washington 
show had 10 open and all florets were perfect. Thanks 
for the fine stock.
