No Flowers are Easier to Grow 

 Than Gladioli — None Compare 

 With Them for Variety and Beauty 



They are royal flowers, the glory of everybody's garden. I love all flowers 

 and I have grown many varieties, but now I grow nothing but Gladioli — 100 

 acres of them every year. They have won my exclusive attention solely by 

 their intrinsic worth. My work among them year by year is a labor of love. 

 The more I see of them the more I love them. You will love them in just the 

 same way once you become acquainted with their sterling qualities — their ex- 

 quisite beauty, their infinite variety, their sturdy habits, the few demands 

 they make on soil or attention, their freedom from pests, their un- 

 approached excellence for cutting and interior decoration. They are 

 truly the "wonder" flower of the garden, and you rob your garden of its 

 crowning glory and yourself of rare pleasure when you fail to plant them. 



These Superb Flowers Make the Fewest Possible Demands 



All they ask is sunshine and to be kept free from weeds. In return 

 they will give you great heavy spikes of the most glorious flowers in such 

 variety of exquisite colors and markings as admit of no comparison 

 save with the orchids. They are equally at home in the smallest 

 garden or the largest. 



Mr. Groff, the great hybridizer, who has done metre than any other 

 man to develop new varieties of these magnificent flowers, has given me 

 the exclusive rights to his productions for the United States. The 

 Groff named varieties and seedlings which I offer represent his latest 

 and best attainments. When you plant Cowee bulbs you know that 

 you are planting the best in the world. 



The Story of the Gladiolus in a Beautiful Little Book 



If you will send me a card asking for it I will send you free a copy of my little book 

 "The Glory of the Garden." It will tell you all you want to know about Gladioli, just 

 how I grow them and just how you can get equal results ; how to care for them when 

 cut; how to harvest the bulbs; when and where to plant. It fully describes the best 

 named varieties and my special collections, the result of years of study and selection. 

 It is beautifully illustrated in natural colors. Write for a copy at once and be prepared 

 for the planting season.
