GENERAL GLADIOLUS LIST 
NOTE—The number following the variety name is the North American Gladiolus Council’s 
classification number to be used when you exhibit in glad shows so you can be sure 
to get your glad in the right class. 
ABU HASSAN 378 (K & M, *47)—E—Velvety 
deep violet blue. Not a large glad but a 
favorite because of its rich color. 
Large: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c 
ACE OF SPADES 454—M—One of the black- 
est of all glads. A beautiful deep black red 
with a glistening sheen. 20 buds with 6 ruf- 
fled, wide open florets open at once. Much 
larger than Braga. 
Large $1.00 each; Medium 75c each 
ARTIST—Smoky lavender plum overlaid by 
a silvery sheen. You would have to see it 
to understand. 14% of those who ordered 
from the L.A. Co. Fair ordered this. Very 
popular when shown. 
Large: 25c each; 10 for $1.90 
Medium: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25 
APRIL 
Plant glads now for July and August blooms. 
Water your glads well. Get out in the sun- 
shine. Enjoy yourself. Go on a picnic. 
ATATURK 454—M—A tall very deep maroon 
with velvety black glow. As black as Ace of 
Spades but doesn’t open up as nicely. The 
most popular glad shown at Los Angeles 
County Fair this year. A must have for 
those who like dark glads. 
Large: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25 
Medium: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
ATOM 366 (Hedgecock)—E—A very popular 
scarlet miniature with a gold edge around 
each petal. Wonderful for bouquets, cor- 
sages, etc. 
Large: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25

AUGUST 
Give your glads lots of water now. Dust or 
spray with 5% DDT or Chlordane. Dig your 
glads that bloomed in June. Take a vacation. 
If your glad buds dry up—10-1 it’s thrips and 
not the heat. Make a big pitcher of ice cold 
lemonade. Home made ice cream is good 
when it’s hot. I like it any time. 
AUREOLE 410 (Pruitt, °48)—M—A very beau- 
tiful, highly ruffled medium yellow. Opens 
6-7 well placed florets on a rather short 
spike. 
Large: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c 
BAGDAD—M-—A tall rosy plum smoky that I 
don’t care for. Doesn’t keep well as a cut 
flower and only opens 4 florets at once. A 
vigorous grower. People keep asking for 
Bagdad so I am listing it again. If you folks 
don’t order it then out it goes again. 
Large: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c¢
