The Wonderful New Gladiolus 
(Kunderdi Type) 
With Frilled or Ruffled Petals 
N entirely new race with the most distinct characteristics of any. 
Of unusual size and vigor of plant and flowers. A recombination 
of the best of all other strains with certain species has resulted 
in the most beautiful of all Gladiolus. Not only those with ruffled 
petals, but also the most. magnificent of plain-petaled varieties, such as 
“Mrs. Frank Pendleton,” “ Raja,’ “Ida Van,” ‘“Goy. Hanley,” 
“Myrtle,” “Giant White,” “Mrs. W. E. Fryer,” ‘Challenger,’ ‘Fire 
Robbon,” and many others of the finest gladiolus grown today. 
A magnificent new strain of Primulinus Hybrids (with both the 
ruffed and plain petals), has also been developed by us from the 
above race. These come in every conceivable shade of yellow, orange, 
saffron and pastel tints. Thousands of new varieties of most beauti- 
ful forms and colorings, to be found nowhere else in the world. 
These are the only new races of gladiolus ever produced in the 
United States, the only really American strain and the most beautiful 
of all. The foremost horticulturists pronounce them ‘‘an epoch-mak- 
ing event in horticulture.” Prof. Bailey has given them a prominent 
place in his New Encyclopedia of Horticulture, and Luther Burbank, 
“the plant wizard,” says: ““The Ruffled Gladiolus like the Ruffled Sweet 
Pea has a refined appearancewhich the common flat ones donot possess.” 
A lifetime has been. devoted to the development of this wonderful 
gladiolus, and it shall be my constant endeavor to each succeeding year 
offer additional new varieties, equally distinct and beautiful, to meet 
the requirements of the most progressive and discriminating lovers of 
the gladiolus.

propagated in hot green- 
houses, are not suitable for 
' planting out-of-doors. Even if 
they do not die at the first touch 
of frost it will take them years to 
get acclimated so that they will 
bloom freely. What you want for 
your rose garden is plants that have 
been grown under conditions similar 
to what you can offer them.
