ORIENTAL PEARL. Huge flowered cream. Flo- 
rets often measure 8 inches. Tall erect spikes. 
Many times a blue ribbcn winner. 
PHANTOM BEAUTY. Warm light pink which 
will open ten or more on a perfect spike. Extra 
nice. 
RHETT BUTLER. Very eaily, brilliant light red. 
{Inclined to crook if pianted iate, but it makes 
a nice early commercial. 
SILVER WINGS. One of the best whites. Well 
rufiied, vigorous grower. Good piacement and 
tall spikes. What more could one ask? 
SNOWBANK. Late, clear white that is an ex- 
celient commercial. Medium and small sizes 
only. 
SNOW PRINCESS. Early, brilliant white. A 
good wnite and vaiuabie because of its earliness 
SPOTLIGHT. For an ail around yellow we like 
wis peter than any ot.er yellow we grow. Not 
spectacu.ar, but a mighty good giad. 
SPiC AND SPAN. in tie brief time since its in- 
truducuon tus ruitled salmon pink has provably 
won more prizes than any other variety. Will o- 
pen 10-12 blooms at once on an always straight 
spike. A really sensational glad. I have a very 
large stock oi this and can quote special prices 
on lots of several thousands of any sizes. The 
/ bulbs are clean and healtny and unforced. 
WESTERN STAR. ‘his buff sport of Picardy has 
ail tue good qualities of that variety. An ex- 
ceptionally nice glad to grow. 
HAND POLLINATED SEEDS 
livery seed listed is tue result of a hand pollin- 
ated cross and each will produce a new variety, 
usualiy quite unlike its parents. Ail the new, high 
priced varieties are aeveioped 110m seeds, so if you 
get a few outstanding ones you will find a ready 
market for them. it 1s a gambie when only a few 
seeds are planted but, even then, it is a thousand 
times better than a ticket on tue Lrish Sweepstakes. 
Seeds should be sown just as soon as tne ground 
warms up a bit, covered an inch deep, and the 
ground s..ould be kept moist until the seedlings ap- 
pear, which normally occurs in about three weeks. 
Well grown seeds suould give you many bulbs 
which w.ll bloom the following year and, even in 
small lots, you will find some good ones. It is the 
most fascinating part of gladiolus growing. Take 
my advice and try it. Packets of forty seeds, pro- 
perly labelled, are fifty cents each, postpaid.
