For the Garden “Cozy Corner 
This picture shows one of the many ways in which the Gladio- 
lus may be used in the home garden. Planted between other 
flowers in the border it gives the needed touch of color without 
conflict with anything else. 
The Gladiolus fits so nicely in the many odd spots of the gar- 
den that it may well be called the ‘“‘cozy-corner” flower. You 
don’t need an acre of ground to grow Gladioli—though in laige 
space they make a dazzling display. 
For planting againsta back-ground of foliage, vines or shrubs, 
the Gladiolus is unexcelled—the many colors afford a brilliant 
and pleasing display, in which there is no lack of harmony. 
The erectness of the spikes and regular arrangement of the 
flowers make Gladioli most desirable for the formal garden.

This handsome book tells the rest of the story of the modern 
Gladiolus. _ It contains accurate descriptions of the best varie- 
ties—many illustrated in colors—cultural directions, prices, etc.
