GLADIOLUS 



A. B. C. "QUALITY" BULBS (True to Name) 



Gladioli are now too well known for their value as cut flowers to need any 

 commendation on our part. Everyone of the varieties offered helow is a real 

 "Gem" and this is a grand opportunity to secure many valuable Florists sorts at 

 a nominal cost. Order early as supply of some kinds is limited — size l«i-incn up 

 invariably produces Kood resolts when grown outdoors. 



GLADIOLUS WHITE GIANT 



The best and largest pure white Gladiolus at Covent Garden Market, London. 

 England. This variety has been used as a substitute for Lilium Giganteum Jfias- 

 ter Lily." Very recommendable.
