Has done very well in competition at the Boston Show. MARY FREY. (Gelser) (Com) (Dec) (75-80) Lavender pink somewhat similar in color to Mrs. Peters but a softer shade and early. A fine commercial for early bloom. MARY JANE. (K) (Dec) (81) Light silvery lavender. Several open. Seems to be popular. Rather slow propagator. MELISSA. (Errey) (Dec) Buff yellow tinted pink.

Florets lie close to the stem, though there is no crowding or open spaces between florets. The petals are firm and of good substance, thus making a bloom of unusual value as a cut flower. Foliage of a deep, blue green color, spikes uniformly straight. Stems rarely branch. Excellent propagator. An EXHIBITION gladiolus that is DECORATIVE and at
