GLADIOLI 



Their easy culture appeals to all, and the freedom from disease and insect pests is another great as- 

 set. They associate so well with all garden flowers, but above all are the decorative possibilities both as 

 a cut flower subject and also in the garden. The collection we here offer is unsurpassed and will be a 

 source of great delight to all who plant them. The flowers last a long time when cut. Do not be stingy 

 in planting Gladioli, but plant by the dozen, or even by the hundred. Varieties marked with an asterisk 

 (*) are particularly fine for forcing.

 Tier, Kunderd and others. It includes the best of the new Ruffled varieties as well as the best of the new
