Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from 1934 Descriptive List of Gladiolus
Color conscious. When people first begin to grow glads. Or other flowers for that matter their ideas of color are rather crude. That is they usually like the odd, unusual and bizarre colors and they don't appreciate the finer colorings that many of the new gladiolus have. This is perfectly all rig ht. Gif you like the odd colors by all means get them. You should grow what you like and not what some one else likes. You often hear people at the shows when looking at some beautiful new variety that is worth perhaps five dollars or more, say that they have lots of that variety at home when you know that they never paid over ten cents for a bulb in their life. It is simply that they haven't become Color Conscious so as to differentiate between the different shadings, markings, etc. All reds look alike to them, all pinks. Etc.
