Nursery contributed plant descriptions

For sheer elegance, it's hard to beat white glads, and this Depression-era survivor with its intriguing pink anthers was a florists' favorite for decades. In 1954, Gladiolusmagazine called it an "excellent old variety", and well into the 1960s it was widely praised as "sturdy," "stately," and "exquisite" - before it virtually disappeared.
