extremely valuable small 
glad for the arranger. In 
a low flat bowl we have 
grouped it in a triangular 
placement in combination 
with anthemis Kelwayi 
for a very pleasing effect. 
Small rhubarb leaves and 
a few flat weathered rocks 
add interest to the com- 
position.

Careful handling of 
voids as well as solids in 
the silhouette lends dis- 
tinction to this insouciant 
arrangement of  MAN- 
CHU with bronzy dahlias 
and rhubarb “sticks” and 
leaves.

Wisconsin: “‘Mother Fischer is by 
far the most beautiful white glad I 
have ever seen. It stood six foot tall 
with very strong plants. The huge 
blooms were perfectly placed and so 
snowy white. If I could have but one 
white glad, it would be Mother 
Fischer. Magnet, another six-footer, 
seems to like our clay-loam soil. The 
bright orchid-rose color is beautiful. 
Everyone admired it. Our florists 
never seem to get enough of Beauty’s 
Blush, Friendship, Rose Charm, and 
Wedgwood.’’—Jean and Albert Mem- 
minger (Pope’s Gladiolus Gardens). 
Kansas: “Out of 108 varieties 
grown, I rated the top ten in the 
following order: 
Gold 
Mother Fischer 
Wedgwood 
Knighthood 
King David 
Sweet Sixteen 
Betty’s Choice 
Poet’s Dream 
Glorious 
Cream Orchids.”

Minnesota: “‘My hat goes off to 
Mother Fischer for the best white. 
Nordic Queen was beautiful, along 
with Crusader.’’—Fred Yeske. 
Iowa: ‘Pink Chiffon is a beauti- 
ful glad, similar to Rima which was 
wonderful in its day. Magnet and 
Elmer’s Rose were standouts with 
beautiful long flowerheads.’’—Mr. and 
Mrs. Archie Wood.
