SHALLIMAR — Those who understand ihe theories of 
inbreeding feel confident that the future health, vigor, 
resistance to disease in glads will be obtained 
through inbreeding as has been accomplished with 
hybrid corn, flowers, etc. Shalimar comes from White 
Star, an inbred gladiolus crossed with Chamouny. It 
resembles the latter in color, and spike, a beautiful 
rose pink, edged with silver. Ruffled, frilled, tall 
with many open florets. Those who have developed 
trouble with their stock of Chamouny, as many have, 
will profit by turning to Shallimar as a replacement. 
Be sure to try it. 
Any size bulb, $1.00, Bts. 10/50c, 100/4.00

SIERRA SNOW — If you want an extremely large, 
vigorous white, Sierra Snow will fill your every desire. 
Not only that, but it opens many of its 22-24 buds 
at once. Heavy ruffling, good texture. Many of our 
experts rate it as one of our best new whites. Florists 
who want giant sized glads will surely want all you 
can supply of this giant white. A sure winner on 
the show table. Now priced low enough for commer- 
cial growers to stock.

more beautiful coloring. Tall grower and extra fine

SILENTIUM — An old time pure white with straw- 
berry throat mark. 1 grew this one many years ago 
and have come back to it, chiefly for hybridizing as 
| used to obtain good results from it. It’s a nice glad, 
tall, many open, ruffled. Bud sheafs will burn in 
extreme heat, but you will like it never-the-less.

SPIC AND SPAN — ‘'The Most Famous Name _ in 
Glads.’’ Probably the greatest glad of all times. Cos- 
mopolitan is its home, together with other most fa- 
mous introductions (see page ...... ). Most everybody 
knows all about this glad, but in growing glads either 
for the shows or for making money, this is the best 
one!

THE RAJAH — A fast propagating purple, a little more 
on the red side than King David. Florets round and

much higher rating, but if you want to increase your 
stock of purples this one will help to round out your 
selection.

greatest delights of my garden this year. Strong,
