From PAUL SAVELIEF 
Mr. Savelief has 25 years of hybridizing experience, covering not only 
glads, but irises, columbines and various other annual flowers, lilacs 
and shrubs. It is only natural, therefore, that his gladiolus originations 
rank among the very finest developed. This year’s introductions 
are: 
LEPRECHAUN (490) 
Here’s something entirely new in glads, a most attractive blend of yellow, white and 
green, with the yellow dominant. Good, tall spikes with 20 buds, 8-10 large florets 
open with 5 more in color. Good placement. An outstanding novelty which will 
attract much attention in your garden, at the shows and will prove popular as a 
commercial. 
VIGILANTE (436) 
A most attractive glad in a most beautiful color —deep coral with white stamens. 
Opens a long ribbon of blooms, 12 to 14 on a 30” flower head. Total 24 buds. Strong, 
vigorous plants sustain the tall, dominating spikes. Capable of easily winning 
“most open.” 
Both varieties, any size $3.00 each, 1 bulb and 10 bts., $5.00 
Other Savelief introductions, My Country, Golden Dawn, 
Dee Dee, Celeste, see regular alphabetical listings.
