Tbis is believed to be tbe best ligbt-yellow Gladiolus yet introduced, and to possess a greater combination, of desirable qualities than almost any other variety of any color. It ivas grown from hand polleiiatL-d seed, the parent varieties being Burbanki X Lemoinei and combines in a remarkable manner the good traits of both.
