Have a Bouquet of Glads in the House all Summer

In fairness to the originators, on new varieties I stick to the originator’s prices
until someone who has a good stock cuts the price. Then | will meet competition.
But everytime you see a new variety listed very low don’t expect all growers to meet
the price because likely the one listing at that price has no stock to speak of and can’t
fill more than the first few orders that reach him. This fall one grower in a big advertise-
ment listed a new variety at 50 cents less than the regular price. I happen to know
that he bought only three half-size bulbs last spring so the chances of getting very
many bulbs at the low price were very slim. But I do try always to give the money's
worth, and a little more when I have stock enough of a variety so | can.

EXTRAS FOR CASH, RETAIL ONLY

Please do not send me orders for less than $1 as I lose money on them and as I am
not in business for my health alone I can’t accept orders for less than $1. :

For extras this year I am going to follow a different plan than heretofore as in
previous years there has been some confusion about the various discounts. This year
on orders from $2 to $5 you can select 5% extra in bulbs of your own choosing. $5
to $25 you can select 10%. $25 to $50, 15 %; and $50 to $100, 20% extra. In addition
to this I am going to be generous in filling orders and though I am not promising just
what I will give extra I am sure you will be pleased with the way your order is filled.
If there is anything special that you are interested in as an extra gift just mention it
and if my stock is plentiful enough I may slip in a bulb or so. ,

MIXTURES

As a rule I do not recommend mixtures because it is a lot more fun to know the
kinds you are growing and to keep them separate and to add to your collection from
year to year. But if you just want a good assortment for your garden and don’t want
to bother with separate kinds I can give you the following mixtures with every assur-
ance that they will be satisfactory in every respect.

No. 1. This is a special “get acquainted” mixture that will please you immensely
and will give you the gladiolus “bug” and make you want a lot of named varieties
next year. 100 bulbs assorted in various shades of white, pink, yellow, blue, red, smoke,
all types, at least 25 different. jas but not labeled, in various sizes from 34-inch up
mostly up, for $225» 50 for $4 These are all good kinds and if labeled would cost
a lot more. Next fall if yeu want your money back say so. 2

No. 2. A mixture of a large number of choice kinds, many of which are still
listed at high prices. Allcolors. $6a 100, $3 for 50, $1.75 for25. Hialf-size at half price.

No. 3. Fine assortment of named primulinus but not labeled. $2 a 100, 50 for
$1.25. Hfalf-size for half price.

ORDER EARLY

There is everything to gain and nothing to lose by ordering early. Every spring
there is a scarcity of large bulbs. The demand for gladiolus bulbs is increasing tre-
mendously and many new varieties especially will be sold out early. There is one
variety that I wanted to get more of so wrote in September to ask for prices but |
was too late: they were all sold. If you can’t spare all the money now, send on your list
and a 25 % deposit and I will hold the bulbs till March Ist. But this does not count
as acash order, of course. If prices go up after your order is in I will fill it at the original
prices and if prices come down I will protect you. The main thing is to get your
order in early.

QUALITY OF BULBS

I think it is generally admitted that northern-grown bulbs are the best. The
cool climate gives them a vigor and constitution that southern bulbs do not have as a.
rule. Northern-grown seeds and potatoes are the best and the climate factors that
make them the best also make the gladiolus bulbs the best.

The past season I was badly stung in buying stock that was not true to name.
And it did not all come from the small growers either. I bought quite a few bulbs to
fill late orders and'‘found them not only badly mixed but diseased also. This year
I positively will not send out any bulbs that were not grown on my own place
unless I feel absolutely sure that they are true to name and of as good quality
as my own.

Here is a New Glad—

APRICOT GLOW

that will make a name for itSelf

This is a new Primulinus Grandiflorus originated by E. F. Palmer of
Vineland Station, Ontario. The color is a soft clear buff or apricot that
always comes clear color and never streaks. It is only semi-hooded. It is
an exceptionally strong grower, right in a class with Giant Nymph, very
large flowers, well placed, 4 to 5 open, strong, healthy constitution, fine
propagator and generally an exceptional variety.

One of the best growers in the country—a man who knows glads as
well as anyone—says it is the very finest Prim. Grand. he has ever seen.
I have never seen this variety but have the word of growers in whom I have
the greatest confidence that it is a class by itself in the P. G. section. It has
all the attributes of a good commercial variety and I look forward to its
becoming a leader as a commercial. I understand that the color is always
clear in spite of bad weather conditions: There-ere many good varieties on the
market that would be worth a lot more if the color was always good, but as
soon as rainy weather comes they get streaked. I understand that Apricot
Glow does not streak.

I have only a small number this year, all large bulbs, at $2 each. The
price next year will not be lower and may be higher.

If you want to get in on a good thing that will make you a lot of money
you better order a few totry. Next year you will want a lot more.

CHAMPLAIN VIEW GARDENS

Where the World’s Finest Varieties of Gladiolus are Grown

ELMER E. GOVE
Burlington on Lake Champlain
VERMONT

WHEN BETTER VARIETIES OF GALDIOLUS ARE PRODUCED, CHAMPLAIN
VIEW GARDENS WILL GROW THEM.

A Box of Bulbs Makes a Fine Present for a Garden Fan

FOREWORD

Those who have grown gladiolus before need no eulogy of this beautiful flower to
ensure them growing gladiolus again. But to those who have never grown any of the
newer varieties, | want to say a few words. The modern gladiolus is absolutely the
finest all ‘round garden flower in existence. They begin to bloom about two months
after they are planted and can be had in bloom all the rest of the season till hard frosts
finish them. The variety of colors is infinite, white, pink, salmon, yellow. orange,
blue, purple, lavender, red and endless combinations and shadings of all these various
colors. The purposes for which they can be used are also endless, from the dainty
primulinus for the bud vase to bridal bouquets, funeral sprays and set pieces, all kinds
of decorations and landscape plantings.

Their culture is about the easiest of all flowers. They will grow in any good garden
soil where other plants grow but do not like shade and should not be put too close to
bushes and trees where the fine roots of the later would sap all the moisture from the
ground. Plant in rows with the bulbs four to six inches deep and six inches or so apart
keep them cultivated well and you wilt have worlds of pleasure when they bloom pro-
vided you get good varieties such as listed in this catalog, and good healthy bulbs.

GUARANTEE

Every bulb is guaranteed to be true to name and healthy. We are all human
and so subject to mistakes and occasionally a bulb gets by that is not right. But in
that case don’t tell your neighbors but tell me and I will adjust the matter to your
entire satisfaction. In fact, I guarantee satisfaction.

I am not only trying to sell bulbs but also to make steady customers. My enemies
(and I probably have some) won't buy of me anyway. The only people to whom |
can sell the second order are my friends, so I am going to try to make you a friend
if you will give me a chance.

The growers as a whole are a fine bunch of fellows and try to do the right thing.
But there are some who are not so careful as they should be. It is no small job to grow
several hundred varieties and keep them all absolutely true to name and to send out
only good healthy bulbs. It requires eternal vigilance and personal supervision to
have every thing satisfactory to the customer. But this is what I try to do, in fact,
guarantee to give satisfaction. The fact that last year I sold about as much as in
oie four previous years combined shows that I am fairly successful in giving satis-
action.

ABOUT SIZES

Commercially the gladiolus is divided into six sizes: No. 1 is over 1% inches in
diameter; No. 2 is 14-11%; No. 3 is 1-114; No.4 is 34-1; No.5 is 4-34; No.6 is below
% inch. For retail trade Nos. 1 and 2 are called large by most growers and No. 3
medium. These are my sizes. But a few growers call No. 3 large and Nos. 4 and
5 medium. Such growers can make very low prices. Be sure what size the grower is
offering for the money.

PRONUNCIATION OF GLADIOLUS

At the annual meeting in Rochester, N. Y., in 1925 of the American Gladiolus
Society, the members went on record as favoring the pronunciation of glad-i-6-lus and
using the one form for both singular and plural. Now let's all werk for this one pro-
nunciation and tell our friends about it and do away with the confusion that has existed
before in regard to this word.

ABOUT PRICES

There seems to be no standard price on gladiolus bulbs. Every grower has a price
of his own. Some are outrageously high, out of all proportion to the quantity on the
market. Some are too low to make a profit for the grower and there are all kinds of
prices in between. I try to list my varieties at as near the average price as possible
and as reasonable as I can for the particular variety, and still give good quality and
generous count. It is a part of my business to keep a line on prices and if I find that
other good reliable growers are selling a certain variety at a lower price than I am |
will give extra count or make it right in some other way.

PURPLE QUEEN. (K) Deep violet purple with darker throat. Strong grower.
A fine variety.

QUINTON. (Kemp) Coral pink, shading darker toward edge of petals. Pink
lines on yellow lip. Tall, slender, willowy stems. Verv large (5 inches and over), very
early, very free-blooming, even from bulblets. Wonderful propagator. A good color
and a variety that should quickly make good commercially.

REAH. (SarsBacH) Rich mallow purple, velvety almost black blotch in center.
Large blooms. Very rich and beautiful.

RED FIRE. (K) Large clear glistening red. One of the very best.

: RENOWN. (AusTRALIAN) Cream white, clear yellow lip. Eight or more open.
ine.
REV. EWBANK. (H) The best commercial light blue. Early, very fine grower
and propagator.

RICHARD DIENER. (D) Beautiful live shade of rose salmon, creamy yellow
throat. Nearly whole spike open at once. This is one of the most beautiful gladiolus
in existence, and should be in every collection.

RITA BECK. (FiscHer) Clear shell pink with scarlet lines on the lip. Six to
eight very large flowers open. Though it has very good substance and several open, the
spike is not heavy and stands up well. Tall strong plant, fine propagator. This is the
outstanding light pink variety on the market. It is wonderful for exhibition and will
be a first class commercial. Varieties come and go but Rita Beck is here to stay for
many years. After another year’s trial I like it better than ever. Blooms late when
flowers are worth money.

ROBT. J. KUNDERD. (K) Wonderful dazzling orange vermilion. Several
open. The finest in just this color.

ROEM VAN KENNERMERLAND. (H) R.V.K. for short. Sometimes called
Mrs. Keur. Immense beautiful rose, deep red feather in the throat. The spike is short
and usually there are only two or three blooms open but it is beautiful and should
be in every garden.

Pricelist April, 19028
CHAMPLAIN VIEW GARDENS

Burlington, Vermont

THIS LIST SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS LISTS. PLEASE
DESTROY THE OLD PRICE LISTS.

EXTRAS FOR CASH, RETAIL ONLY

Please do not send me orders for less than $1 as I lose money on them and as I am
not in business for my health alone I can't accept orders for less than $1.

For extras this year I am going to follow a different plan than heretofore as in
Previous years there has been some confusion about the various discounts. This year
on orders from $2 to $5 you can select 5% extra in bulbs of your own choosing. $5
to $25 youcan select 10%. $25 to $50, 15%; and $50 to $100, 20% extra. In addition
to this I am going to be generous in filling orders and though I am not promising just
what | will give extra | am sure you will be pleased with the way your order is filled.
If there is anything special that you are interested in as an extra gift just mention it
and if my stock is plentiful enough I may slip in a bulb or so.

Champlain View Gardens
ELMER E. GOVE - - Burlington, Vermont

My Friends Buy Their Bulbs of Me. Others Should

ROMANCE. (K) Salmon rose bordered blue. Odd but very pretty. Several
open. Good grower. You surely want this one. In great demand

ROSE ASH. (D) A pastel shade, ashes of roses. Odd but pretty. Very tall,
strong grower. Popular.

RUFFLED GOLD. (GoopricH) Ruffled yellow with rose pink feather in throat.
Six or more perfectly placed blooms open Slender but stiff stem. Wonderful propa-
gator. A beautiful flower. This is not the darkest yellow nor the largest yellow in
the world but I believe it has a very bright future. Looks like a fine commercial

Anthony Zonker Sidney Plummer

Several open Strong grower. A good late lilac or bright lavender.

black blotch. Very showy.

SCARLET WONDER. (GrorF) Immense clear red, the largest red in the

your garden this is the variety that will make it.

11

Plant Delphiniums for a Blue Background

SHEILA. (CoLEMAN) Early, tall, straight, large, light salmon. Larger and more
open flower than Prince of Wales but not so many open at a time.

SHEILA’S SISTER. (CoLEMAN) Similar to Sheila but a little larger.

SIDNEY PLUMMER. (SaLBacH) Large cream yellow tinged delicate pink,
amber lip marked with purplish lines. Eight or more well placed ruffled blooms open

fine commercial variety.

SIERRA. (D) Heavily ruffled cream white streaked with lilac. Red and yellow
lip. :
SMOKE. (D) Old rose streaked with slaty pink. Odd but attracts lots of at-
tention. I never have enough of it to go round although it is a fine propagator.

SULPHUR FRILLS. (K) Heavily ruffled clear sulphur yellow. In big demand.

SWEET LAVENDER. (CoLeMAN) Early large light lavender with darker
blotch. Fine commercial.

SWEET ROSE. (K) Soft deep rose pink with rose red throat. Fine spike of
large beautiful blooms.

SYMPATHY. (H) Large white tinted pink with dainty lavender feather, edged
cream in throat. Large number open. A spike is a whole bouquet. Fine.

TARO. (IX) Cerise—a shade between American Beauty and Purple Glory.

appearance is a solid clear color. Distinctive and beautiful.

fine bright red variety.

VEILCHENBLAU. (PritzER) Tall large dark blue. The finest dark blue on
the market.

VIRGINIA. (Turty) Large clear purple with cream blotch. I like it. Do not
confuse this with Scarlet Princeps which is sometimes listed as Virginia.

VIRGINIA HALE. (K) Soft creamy pink shading brighter toward the edge.
Very beautiful. One good grower says that among all gladiolus this is his favorite.

WAIKIKI. (D) Very pretty ruffled cream delicately tinted pink. Cream yel-
low lip. Several open. Sometimes kinks.

WM. G. BADGER. (MertzNeER) Very large light salmon rose. Throat cream
speckled with ruby. Fine. Short spike but showy as nearly all the flowers are open
at a time.

WM. KENT. (D) Another in the same class as Phipps. Creamy shell pink.
with golden ochre lip. An exquisite color. Often eleven to fifteen flowers open at a
time on a long spike.

WM. McGAVIN. (D) Silvery rose, a very beautiful shade entirely different
from any other. Several open. One of the best.

Small Bulbs of the Cheaper Varieties Would Make Some Beginner Happy

fee

Annie Laurie

PRIMULINUS VARIETIES

These constitute a distinct type of gladiolus in that in most of them the upper
petal hangs down forming more or less of a hood. The stems are usually more slender
and the flowers smaller than in the others so that they make a light and airy bunch and
useful for making artistic decorations. They are usually very vigorous and strong
growers, bulbs often producing two to five spikes of blooms which do not all come at
the same time but prolong the blooming season for weeks. Some varieties grow rather
short and produce several spikes and side spikes and are useful for landscape effects,
giving a mass of color for a long time.

Many people who like only large flowers are prejudiced against the primulinus
because they have seen only the older small flowered ones. But in late years they have
been crossed with the large flowered varieties so that now we have many varieties
with blooms four to five inches across and with the vigor of the primulinus. Manyfof
the colors are exquisite.

AFLAME. (HorNBERGER) Begonia rose shading to bright orange flame near the
edge. Back of petals is even brighter. Very large, six inches and more across. Six
or more open. This is a sure comer. Wonderful variety.

ALICE TIPLADY. (K) Large burnt orange. Very popular.

ALMA GLUCK. (Gace) Clear salmon red. Very showy. Fine landscape
variety. Large flowers.

13

Order Early. Nothing is Gained by Waiting

ANNIE LAURIE. (Brown) Ruffled delicate, pink overlaid with light rose pink
toward edge. Light purplish lines in the throat. Very dainty and beautiful. One of
the best commercial varieties put out in some time. The picture gives the form and
style of it but cannot show the wonderfully beautiful color.

ARDEN. (K) Tall watermelon pink, several open. Very pretty.
ATHENE. (K) Brilliant but soft salmon rose. Fine.
BUTTERBOY. (K) Very early. Tall, large, strong growing clear yellow.

COPPER BRONZE. (K) Very large coppery bronze. One of the most dis-
tinctively beautiful and artistic primulinus in existence.

; events (K) Salmon apricot. Fine pink lines on cream throat. A very beau-
tiful prim.

E. B. WILLIAMSON. (K) Light purple, a new shade. If you like the purple
shades you will like this.

ENCHANTRESS. (K) Large beautiful soft shrimp pink.

ETHELYN. (FiscHER) Tall orange primulinus. Similar in color to Orange
Queen except that it has a clear lip instead of deep orange lines on it. At the Boston
and Hartford Shows there were some wonderful baskets of this variety. It is one of
the very finest primulinus in existence.

FAIRY BLOSSOM. (K) Very pretty ruffled white, cream throat. Several
open. Fine dainty florist flower.

FIRY KNIGHT. (H) Large clear fiery red. Fine.

GOLDEN FRILLS. (K) Tall heavily ruffled very deep yellow. Small flame
cerise feather in throat. A very beautiful variety. One of Kunderd’s best.

GOLDEN ORANGE. (K) Beautiful golden orange. Very fine.

GOLDEN TINGE. (K) Orange salmon with golden throat. Small but very
beautiful.

HARBINGER. (SAnrorp) Burnt orange, different from any other shade. Very
nice and wonderful grower. Fine landscape variety.

JEWELL. (ZEESTRATEN) Clear light salmon with yellow throat. Very tall and
straight. Wide open flowers that are not hooded but roll back. Beautiful color for
florists.

KING OF ORANGES. (K) Large orange-saffron. Good.

LEEN WONE. (K) Beautiful clear orange with yellow on the edge of same
petals.

LILAC OLD ROSE. (K) The name describes the color. Several large flowers
open at a time. Very good.

MARIGOLD. (K) Large ruffled canary yellow.

MING TOY. (K) Tall large beautiful buff, yellow throat. One of the very best
Fine commercial.

MRS. CALVIN COOLIDGE. (K) Large soft salmon-rose, cream towards cen-
ter. One of the very finest, and sure to become popular.

MYRA. (K). Very large deep salmon over yellow ground. Very fine.

ONETA. (Kemp) Large strong growing wonderful orange. The nearest to real

Delphiniums

Delphiniums are positively the best blue hardy perennial. They grow from five
to nine feet and taller, and with their long, stately spikes of flowers and broad leaves
they are in a class by themselves. They grow well in any good, well-cultivated garden
soil, are absolutely hardy, produce bloom twice during the season and will give more
garden pleasure than any perennial I know.

Blooms from Seedling Plants

There has been a great revival of interest in Delphiniums the past few years due
to the wonderful improvements that have been made in them. Several famous hybrid-
izers have been working on them and have produced new forms and types and wonder
fully beautiful colorings, many of them now having beautiful shades of pink, mauve
and purple mingled with the various shades of blue.

If you are interested in Delphiniums, you should send $1 for a year s subscription
(2 numbers) to “BETTER DELPHINIUMS,”’ a very fine magazine devoted solely to this
beautiful flower. Address BETTER DELPHINIUMS, 230 Bay View, San Rafael, California.

I no longer grow the old common strains but am offering year-old plants of the

16

Have a Bouquet of Glads in the House All Summer

Vanderbilt and Wrexham strains which are considered as fine as there is in existence.
I get the very finest seed to be had, the same as the originators use for their own sowing.

Delphiniums do not come true from seed, but every plant grown from seed is
different. So in buying mixed plants no two are exactly alike. But while the seedling
plants are in bloom I mark them as to color so I can give you light, medium or dark
shades.

In August, 1926, I exhibited blooms from seedling plants at the Boston Gladiolus
Show and at two or three other flower shows and at every show the people went wild
over them. One lady told me she had paid high prices for named varieties that could
not compare with mine.

This year I have a much larger stock than last year but re-orders from last year’s
customers, and inquiries are coming in fast so it would be well to order early.

If planted in the spring they should be shipped before they have made any growth.

Plants one year old, many eyes and very strong root system, either Vanderbilt
or Wrexham, $4 per doz. Selected, especially fine, $6 a doz. All prepaid.

Seed saved from best plants, $1.00 per packet.

CANTERBURY BELLS

We have both the single and cup and saucer types in white, blue and pink. Large
strong plants. $2 a doz.

COREOPSIS

LANCEOLATA GRANDIFLORA. Very popular, hardy perennial. Golden yel-
low, fine for cutting or for the garden. Bloom all summer and fall. $2 a doz.

SWEET WILLIAM
Fine old-fashioned hardy perennial.
NEWPORT PINK. Beautiful salmon pink, the best color in Sweet Williams.
MIXED, Double, All Colors. Both kinds, $2 a doz.
GLOBE THISTLE
ECHINOPS RETRO. Tall thistle with round ball-shaped blue flowers. Fine.
$2 a dozen.
FORGET-ME-NOT
PALUSTRIS SEMPERFLORENS. Blue, blooms all summer. Fine for a shady
spot or will grow in the sun if it has moisture. $2 a dozen.
GAILLARDIA
BLANKET FLOWER. Red and yellow. Blooms from June till frost. Good
companion for coreopsis. Fine for cutting. $2 a dozen.
CHINESE LANTERNS
PHYSALIS FRANCHETI or Winter Cherry. Bushy plants that produce quan-

tities of orange “lanterns” that can be cut and dried and used at any time for decoration.
$2 a dozen.

the first year.

Try Some Number Two Mixture. They Are Good

Montbretias

These are very pretty bright-colored summer-flowering bulbs. Somewhat like a
very small-flowered gladiolus. The slender wiry stems grow about two feet high or
higher, and have the flowers arranged about one-third the length. Very artistic and
beautiful. They should be planted in clumps for best effect. In mild climates they
can be left in the ground two or three years with a winter cover. Mixed orange and
red, 50 cents a dozen; $3.50 per 100. Better try at least one dozen.

CROESUS. Tall, very large apricot yellow. $1 a doz.
RHEINGOLD. Large pure golden yellow. $1 a doz.
