T|iiB is what I am willing to pay for a PURE WHITE variety which possesseB all of the attributes 

 which combined make the variety '* PEACE " the BEST commercial WHITE GLADIOLUS in 



existence today. 



I am egotistical to this extent, that from the varieties which I have introduced during the past ten 

 years, the majority of which are not only being liberally used by both Florists and Amateurs, but are also 

 demanded and listed by Professional Growers, I have the right to assume that my judgment as to the value 

 of a variety should be worth some consideration, and that I am not a Novice in experimental and trial 

 work. ''PEACE'* has been grown and increased by me since 1904, and has been planted in all kinds of 

 soil, and under almost every climatic condition, and has never failed tO "make good*" If this 

 can be truthfully said of any other White variety of equal or superior merit, I want it. 



This is the GRAND- 

 EST WHITE VARI- 

 ETY ever otfered in the 

 world, and the international 

 title of "PEACE" was 

 selected for this valuable 

 type, which will become a 

 standard variety and secure 

 a permanent place in every 

 country when known. 



This variety is not only 

 NEW, DISTINCT and of 

 more than SPECIAL 

 MERIT, but it has 

 WONDERFUL VITAL- 

 ITY, which will insure 

 perfect satisfaction under all 

 reasonable conditions. 



The plant is MOST 

 STRIKING and AT- 

 TRACTIVE. Its MAS- 

 SIVE PROPOR- 

 TIONS, broad heavy foli- 

 age of a rich green, erect 

 and vigorous habit of 

 growth, give evidence of the 

 CONSTITUTION AND 

 VIGOR, rare in light col- 

 ored hybrids. These quali- 

 ties are further proven by 

 its EXCEPTIONAL 

 REPRODUCTIVE 

 POWERS, by offsets and 

 division. 



Matured BULBS ARE 

 LARGE, smooth and prac- 

 tically IMMUNE FROM 

 DISEASE, and produce 

 plants FIVE FEET high. 



"PEACE" (Grofff's)

 Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists. 



PRrCES 



before the bloom spike ap- 

 pears. 



The FLOWERS ARE 

 LARGE, of good form and 

 correctly placed on a heavy, 

 STRAIGHT SPIKE. 

 They are a BEAUTIFUL 

 WHITE, with a pale lilac 

 feathering on the inferior 

 petals. 



As a CUT FLOWER 



there is no variety which will 

 develop better, and for the 

 GARDEN I have yet to 

 find its equal. 



In placing the price of 

 this variety within the reach 

 of every admirer of the 

 Gladiolus, I do so with the 

 greatest confidence in its 

 future popularity and that it 

 SUPPLIES A LONG 

 FELT WANT, especially 

 TO THE FLORIST.

NOT 



an EARLY BLOOMER 

 but rather MEDIUM TO 



LATE, and planted at the 

 same time with other stock, 

 it is in its BEST CON- 

 DITION when most other 

 varieties have PASSED 

 BLOOMING. It is there- 

 fore of EXCEPTIONAL 

 VALUE to the FLO- 

 RIST at this time, when 

 there are few other light- 

 colored flowers in bloom.
