Here is your chance to secure, at very reasonable prices, bulbs and 

 bulblets of several "really fine" new varieties of Gladioli. t 



The following are all admirably adapted for cut flower purposes, and 

 bring top prices. 



Stocks of these four varieties are very limited and will in all probabil- 

 ity fall short of the greatly increasing demand; therefore place your 

 order now. This is your chance. Grasp it. 



Le Marechal Foch 



A real Gladiolus with big possibilities. 



A wonderful new pink variety, with immense, 

 wide open flowers that are a charmingly beautiful 

 shade of light pink. Blooms as early as Halley, 

 and the flowers are twice as large as those of 

 America. Strong grower and rapid multiplier, 

 doing well under all sorts of conditions. Will be 

 grown more extensively than America, as soon as 

 stock becomes sufficient. "A gem." Grasp this 

 opportunity. 



Selected, 1st size bulbs, $30.00 per 100. 

 BulbletB, $12.00 per 1000; 5000 for $55.00. 



A. W. Hunt 



(CHRISTY) 



(Originator's Description.) One of the very 

 finest Gladioli grown. Conspicuous in the field 

 among hundreds of other sorts and attracting 

 more attention than almost any other. A very 

 strong grower, with great, broad foliage, tall, up- 

 right, sturdy, early and prolific, yielding large 

 bulbs and numerous large bulblets. The spike is 

 long and straight, well set with very large flowers 

 of great substance, three to five open at once. 

 Color a very pleasing shade of carmine or ver- 

 milion, without markings, except a gold line in the 

 center of flower petals. 



"Florists and Growers will make no mistake in 

 getting a start of this variety. Highly recom- 

 mended." 



Disseminated at $5.00 each. 



Fine bulbs now $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 



Planting stock, 50c each; $5.00 per dozen. 



Bulblets, $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



Stock very limited. 



Louise 



The Orchid of Gladioli. 



A beautiful lavender or Orchid color. Blooms 

 of the largest size, often measuring 6 inches or 

 over. Strong grower and great drought resister. 

 Always attracts attention and invokes words of 

 praise. For funeral work this variety is unsur- 

 passed and brings the top price as a cut flower. 

 "A good buy." 



Selected, 1st size bulbs, $30.00 per 100. 

 Bulblets, $16.00 per 1000; 5000 for $75.00. 



Prim Beauty 



(CHRISTY) 



(Originator's Description.) Disseminated to 

 some extent the last two years, this variety has 

 received the highest praise. It is a true Hybrid, 

 one of the "hand-made" sorts, grown from hand- 

 pollinated seed, Primulinus x Gandavensis, and 

 shows very plainly characteristics of both parents. 

 Remarkably vigorous and extraordinarily prolific, 

 growing from four to five feet high, very broad, 

 dense, dark green foliage ; a row of it is really a 

 "floral hedge." A two-foot spike, often twenty or 

 more flowers well placed but not crowded, of rich 

 golden yellow, finely overlaid with a delicate net- 

 work of brightest crimson covering alike both 

 front and reverse of petals, which are otherwise 

 entirely free from any blotch or marking. Its 

 increase is wonderful, often three or four giant 

 bulbs from one planted, besides a host of bulblets. 



"I am receiving many testimonials concerning 

 this varietv and urge evervone to give it a fair 

 trial." 



Large bulbs, $5.00 per dozen. 

 Planting stock, $2.50 per dozen. 

 Bulblets, $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000. 

 Stock very limited.
