GLADIOLUS FOR 1953 
ELMER’S ROSE (Fischer). A heavily ruffled deep

great cut flower variety as well as a beauty in the

lavender. Sometimes blooms come flecked but has 
been popular since introduction on account of its 
earliness and cut flower value. 
JUNE DAY (Roberts). Extremely early blooming 
pure pink with a small cherry blotch. Opens up 
to seven florets on a medium tall spike. The earli- 
est bloomer in the field as a rule.
