  • the object of this invention is to provide a 5 gladiolus of superior yellow or golden coloring combined with exceptionally large spikes of flowers bearing a large number of large-sized and exceptionally well-shaped and well-placed florets, as well as possessing superior keeping This combination gives a gladiolus long desired by florists and fanciers.
  • the plant is a vigorous grower and the tips of the spikes usually reach a height of to inches 30 above the ground. Foliage is moderate in quantity and light green in color.
  • the spikes are taller than those of somewhat similar yellow or golden varieties grown under the same conditions of soil and climate.
  • the spikes ordinarily have 22 to 24 buds and 10 to 12 of these will be opened at one time.
  • golden varieties somewhat similar to this new variety, such as Souvenir and Golden Dream fall far short of the number of buds and florets displayed by this new variety; Souvenir having ordinarily 10 to 12 buds with not more than 4 or 5 open at any one time, and Golden Dream I having sometimes as many as 18 buds with only 4 or 5 open at one time.
  • the florets are each considerably larger than those of either Souvenir or Golden Dream in addition to occurring so many more to the spike.
  • a typical floret at the bottom of the spike will measure 4 inches across. 7
  • the coloring of my new variety while clear and deep is at the samev time soft and gives an effect which the artist is unable to V reproduce.
  • the florets have no blotches, spots or markings of any color other than the deep yellow as described. This color is surprisingly uniform in all parts of the florets. showing practically no variation at all.
