Two Gladioli of Special Merit 



Red Emperor- — Without a doubt this is the finest deep scarlet 

 Gladiolus grown. Spikes are extremely tall with very stiff stems. 

 Flowers are gigantic and of the most gorgeous shade of rich velvet 

 red. 35c each, $3.50 a dozen. 



White Giant — The finest and 

 best pure white Gladiolus 

 known. This variety excels 

 any other white variety on 

 account of its colossal size and 

 purity of color. The spikes 

 are long, and contain an un- 

 usual number of flowers. 60c 

 each, $6.00 a dozen.

From Grower to Consumer 



Gladioli, Dahlias, and Cannas are the specialties we grow in our Babylon, L. I., Nurseries, the same as Tulips, Hya- 

 cinths, Daffodils, Crocuses, etc., are the specialties in our Hillegom, Holland, Nurseries. Our Nurseries here are located in 

 West Babylon, Albin Road, corner Arnold Avenue, and visitors are always welcome. Hundreds of thousands of Tulips and 

 Daffodils have been planted in our Babylon Nurseries for trial, and we expect a glorious sight in the Spring of 1920; therefore do 

 not pass Babylon without a visit to our place this coming Spring or next Summer, when Gladioli and Dahlias are at their best. 



We prepay all charges East of the Mississippi. West of that 25% should be added to the amount of the order. We 

 guarantee all our bulbs, roots, and plants to grow and to be true to name, and we will replace any bulb, root, or plant prepaid 

 if found otherwise.
