Eden GLAD GARDENS & ern reee 20:
MOUNT EDEN, CALIFORNIA
Choice Gladiolus
NEW INTRODUCTION FOR 1954
WAX CANARY (Woods)
Again we give you a Glad that will please you. Wax Canary has been grown by several nationally
known gladiolus growers throughout the country and is strongly recommended for release.
A basket of Wax Canary shown at the Central International in Chicago created a sensation.
Nothing like it on the market today in its color range for beauty and growth. Field height over
60 inches with a 30 inch flower head. Floret is 512 inches, 20 to 22 buds with 7 or more open
in field. Very healthy. Color is light salmon in center blending to deeper salmon at outer edges
with soft yellow lip. Petals are fluted and needlepoint with heavy texture. It has the appearance
of being waxed. Wax Canary does not crook or burn. Excellent bulb production and germina-
tion. Wax Canary is another top-notcher, and a commercial and exhibition variety. Blooms in
about 80 days. I highly recommend this variety.
