 'Peace' is now in full 

 flower at Wisley and is

 strong and doing well."

 reference to the bulbs of 

 Gladiolus 'Peace,' we 

 have to say that these 

 have turned out true and 

 very fine indeed." 



From Messrs. Warnaar 

 iS. Co., Sassenheim, 

 Holland, Sept. 15, 1913. 

 " We beg to inform you 

 that we were awarded with 

 a Certificate of Merit by 

 the Dutch Bulb Growers 

 Association meeting in 

 Haarlem for Gladiolus 

 ' Peace.' We have very 

 fine blooms of it and think 

 it a very good bloom for 

 late work. It grows very 

 strong and flowers freely." 



From Wilhelm Pfitzer, 

 Stuttgart, Germany. Sept. 

 10th, 1913. "The growth 

 of ' Peace ' is robust and 

 the foliage has a remark- 

 ably dark green color. The 

 flowers are large and the 

 spikes are producing a 

 good impression. Taking 

 altogether, ' Peace ' is a 

 remarkable variety."
