Traveler 195204 ( Shtdayey (Oren: 
tal Pearl x Eglantine) With this glad in your garden 
you are sure to do some “traveling”—not away from 
it but with it to the nearest glad show! Traveler, a 
light rose pink with a faint deep-rose blur in the 
throat, sends up a majestic spike carrying 10-12 open 
on a 22-24 bud head. Florets are well attached, nicely 
frilled, and good texture. Traveler has already made 
a name for itself in exhibition circles and should prove 
equally valuable as a cut-flower. Bulblets germinate 
well and make fine bulbs.

Twinkles <—— (22) (Butt, 1948) (70 
days) (Harlequin x 
Crinklette) This crisply cut, mischievous little elf of 
a glad vies for the focus of your attention. It is most 
original in styling. The star-like little florets of bitter- 
sweet orange and yellow fairly sparkle or twinkle in 
arrangements. Twinkles has many friends.

Tyrone & * * (466) (Deam, 1952) (80 days) 
e e e The unusual form of florets 
is the first thing one notices in Tyrone. They are a 
clear lavender at the recurved and pointed edges 
blending to a light lavender center. Tyrone has won 
considerable fame on the show table opening up to 9. 
Seems to be headed for a commercial future.

(Dr. Hoeg x Black Opal) Tall, tapering spikes of 
Velvet Mantle with their sleek, plain-petalled maroon 
florets remind one of highly polished mahogany. Used 
with Pactolus, Velvet Mantle makes a strong, “mascu- 
line type” composition.

Violet Charm ee (suse Better 
Times X (Greta Garbo x Dawn Glow) The soul of 
the flower lover is perennially hungry for blue. Violet 
Charm is a soft shadowy violet with a blue throat. 
We understood its immediate rise to popularity when 
we viewed the distinctive blue-throated spikes dis- 
played last summer at Binghamton and again in Can- 
ada. Not especially attractive here. Good grower.

(Lavender & Gold x Seedling) Small-flowered, grace- 
ful Wedgwood exhibits the refinement and strength of 
precious Wedgwood china. The lavish ruffling, waxy 
substance, and warm lavender coloring are further 
enhanced by a soft creamy throat as depicted in our 
colorful 3-spike picture on page 10. Wedgwood is one 
of Mr. Starker’s favorite arrangement glads. Florists, 
too, appreciate its worth.

((Elizabeth the Queen x Lavender and Gold) X Star- 
let) We believe that this is the most beautiful small- 
flowered white glad in existence (although we have 
had to raise it to the 300 size classification). White 
Lace is a glorified Cupid and Cupid is very much 
glorified itself! But White Lace has the substance of 
an Easter Lily plus exquisite ruffling so intense it 
produces that puckered effect in the throat called 
“knuckles”—found only in a very few glads of lavishly 
beautiful form. We are so fond of White Lace that we 
have gone to the expense of making two expensive 
color cuts—see pages 17 and 35. If you want a glad 
that is absolutely tops for wedding decorations and 
choice make-up work, depend on White Lace. It is 
down in price this year for the first time so that you 
can make use of our quantity price lits and bring its 
lavish beauty into your home by the armful.

“Pink Diamond: This in my opinion is by far the 
most beautiful Gladiolus I have ever seen. It is also 
the most beautiful corsage flower in existence. I took 
three blossoms of this and put buds of Rose Charm in- 
side each perfect bloom, added a touch of contrasting 
ribbon and had the most breathtaking ensemble ever.”
