SCHLEGEL & FOTTLERS SEED CATALOGUE. 121 '4 TRE • NEW • GliABieiaS. ^ Snow \Af^hite or Hyde's White. 77if folloiuing is the introducers descrip- iion: It is the best White Gladiolus ever grown The flowers are well formed, and have a paper whiteness we have never seen in any other sort. The flowers are of ex- ceptional substance, lasting a remarkable length of time when cut. Every flower on the spike can be used individually for cut flower work. The spikes are of good size, set solidly and perfectly with the florets from bottom to top. The petals are grace- fully recurved, and, in many cases, beauti- fully crisped. Under ordinary circum- stances nearly the entire flower is a perfect paper-white with a slight cream shade on lower half of the lower petal. A faint line of purple extends about half way through the lower petal. When planted late, and the nights become very cool, I have seen it streaked with pink more than at any other time; even then, if the spikes are cut and placed in water when the four lower flowers are open, no trace of pink will appear. If at any season of the year the sp ikes are cut when the first two or four lower flowers open and are allowed to develop in water, it is positively snow-white. It is a good grower; bulbs healthy and strong, and in very many cases produces three spikes and three bulbs from one. To get the largest flowers and spike, cut off all but one spike.
