Gladiolus colvillei, Sweet (G. tristis Var. concolor x G. cardinalis). Fls. open or flaring, with oblong-acute segms.; scarlet, with long blotches at the base of the lower segms: early-flowering: spikes short. Hardy south of Washington with some protection. R.H. 1895, p. 289. G.C. III. 12:90. Gn. 28:566; 34:580; 50, p. 66. Gn.M. 4:189.—The oldest of the garden forms. Runs into many types and strains. The modern white-fld. type, var. albus, represented by The Bride, is best known in this country. Small forms are known as G. nanus: Gn.W. 15:9; used for early flowering. Some forms are known as G. floribundus. G. delicatissimus, Blushing Bride, is a form of the same group: segms. white, with a large oval rose- crimson yellow-centered blotch on each of the 3 lower ones. Gn. W. 15:9. J.H. 111.49:213. Another form of early-flowering gladioli is known as G. rambsus, Paxt. (issue of G. cardinalis and G. oppositiflorus), but it is probably no longer possible to distinguish these two groups. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
