478(Stardust X Leon Da Vinci) 
E Indigo should be a welcome 
addition to a relatively weak color class. It is a 
rich pansy blue with a reddish throat; a color so 
much admired in the best Swiss pansies. 
Grows 47’’-49” in height, spikes straight with 
well placed and attached florets. 17-19 buds, 
six to nine open, grows and blooms well from all 
sizes and bulblets. Award of Merit—British 
Gladiolus Society Trial Grounds, 1953.

Indigo 
500(Snowflake X Flo. Night- 
ingale)EM A simply stagger- 
ingly huge white. Just where it gets this size is 
hard to say, but it has six and one-half inch 
florets under normal conditions. 
Color is immaculate, just a real white, slightly 
creamy in throat and with white stamens. Tall, 
straight spikes, long flowerheads, 22—23 buds and 
seven to eight florets open. Attachment good 
considering the size of florets. Excellent propaga- 
tor.

Polaris 
470(Rosemarie Pfit- 
zer X King Lear)E 
This fine purple will be valued by amateurs and 
commercial men alike, because it 1s very early 
and builds exhibition spikes from all sizes. The 
color is most attractive as it is on the magenta 
side and fairly sparkles. 
Tall grower, 55’’ with long, straight spikes. 
17-18 buds, 7 open and florets up to 51%” across. 
Excellent placement and attachment. Flaring 
frilled florets.

Times Sauare 
From HARRY DEAM 
Orchid Blush 466 M A beautiful 
light lavender with a 
small white blotch, peppered deeper lavender 
in the throat, the overall effect being a light 
lavender self. It opens eight with 8 buds in color 
on a long flowerhead of 20-22 buds. Attachment, 
facing, placement are extra good. Spikes are 
always straight and it is a tall, robust grower. 
Takes cold storage perfectly. A strong propagator 
and germinator. 
Orchid Blush is an outstanding show glad 
due to its uniform production of tall spikes and 
ability to open 8 florets in perfect placement. It 
also is a great commercial prospect as it is con- 
sistently good in the driest, hottest weather. Mr.

From JOHN FLAD 
Prince 485 M Amost unusual and beauti- 
ul red smoky seedling of Red 
Wing. Tall fine plant with 10 open on a 24 bud 
spike. Nicely ruffled and rolled back petals. 
Also needlepointed. See picture which shows the 
form but cannot convey its oriental richness. I 
saw this at Chicago and liked it tremendously.

Cockade 371 (Seedling 46-O-X)M 
Deep rosy purple with a 
large creamy vellow blotch extending out on 
the midribs and a small crimson peppery blotch

color of Karen but in the 300 size and I think 
better. Grows 44” tall with a 24” or longer head. 
Blooms are 31% to 4”, 21 buds with eight to ten
