Golden Boy... e (85 days) (Golden 
Goddess x Lantana) Our “bulbs of Golden Boy were 
planted too close together this year for a fair test. It 
is described as a medium canary yellow with a bright 
metallic sheen. Opens eight 4-inch florets on 20-22 bud 
spikes. Grows four feet tall. It is a vigorous grower, 
producing many large bulblets that germinate well.

Deb represents the ultimate in beauty in gladiolus. 
The intense rufiiing, the heavy substance, the chiselled 
styling, and the purity of color sing to the heart of any 
glad lover. It is a true, rich salmon with a glowing 
golden heart. Unfortunately the florets are a little 
too loose to stand much handling and the plant needs 
extra culture to give its best.

(Picardy Seedling x Burma) What a pleasure to en- 
counter a new variety so good one can give it an un- 
qualified endorsement! That’s what we can do for 
this matchless new red. Harrisburger has flagpole 
stems, 20-22 buds, and 8 flat-open blooms of the heav- 
iest substance and finest ruffling. What an All-Amer- 
ica winner this would have made! Be sure to plant it 
early so it blooms before danger from frost.

The silky, rose-red, plain-petalled florets of Harry 
Hopkins are slightly recurved and produce quite a 
tailored effect. We have used this Holland origination 
to advantage as an early cut-flower though it is not a 
“first early.” Florists like the color. Makes good bulbs 
that keep well. (L 2-.25; 10-1.00) CM 10-.70)

the soft yellow of a Darwin tulip. Then imagine these 
two colors blended in a glad! Heart O’Gold is just 
such a blend—florets of sparkling, frosty white sur- 
round the large yellow throat in this rare gem. Heart 
O’Gold will strike you like a breath of spring when 
you see the tall, graceful spikes. One of our earliest 
bloomers—we wish the bulbs made more husk to pro- 
tect them from bruising. (L 2-.39; 10-1.20) (M 10-.890)
