Carl H. Fischer (May 22, 1907 – November 23, 2005) was a floriculturalist in the United States known for creating many new varieties of gladiolus flowers.[1][2] The company he founded in 1945, Noweta Gardens, continues to market some of the 600 hybrids of glads he developed.[3]
St. Charles, Minnesota, the city where he lived for most of his life, holds a Gladiolus Days festival which recognizes him every August.[4]
