Best of all the New Gladioli 



We are growers of Gladioli in a large way and are introducers of the most popular new varieties. The six named 

 Gladioli described below and shown in color on color plates of our free catalogues are the most popular sorts grown 

 either for decoration, cut flowers, or for borders and backgrounds in the garden. The even gradation of coloring from 

 the lavender streaked pure white of the Chicago White down through the pinks of Kunderdi ''Glory", American 

 and Mrs. Francis King, to the brilliant scarlet crimson of Princeps, makes the most splendid effects indoors or out.

 upon the stalk, pure white with faint 

 lavender streaks in lower petals and
