Pan=American Gladioli 
(Gladioli, the Pan-American.) Our Pan-American mixture 
is the best in the world, and we want to say to you candidly 
that you have never seen Gladioli until you see these flowers. 
This mixture includes all the new strains, such as ‘‘Gray’s 
Inglesides,” ‘‘Burbank’s California Selects,” ‘‘Childsii,’’ and 
“Groff’s Hybrids.”” They are very tall and erect, often standing 
four or five feet high, with spikes of bloom over two feet in 
length. They branch freely, in most cases each stem producing 
three or four spikes of bloom, and bloom much earlier than 
ordinary varieties. The flowers are of great substance and 
gigantic size, frequently seven to nine inches across. The form 
of both flower and spike is perfection itself, and they last in 
bloom a long time before fading, owing to their great substance 
and vigor. But the most remarkable feature is the coloring. 
Orchids cannot surpass them in varied and delicate shades, 
markings and blendings. Every color known among Gladioli is 
represented, and many never before seen, particularly blues, 
smoky grays and purple blacks, all having beautifully mottled 
and spotted throats made up of white, crimson, pink, yellow, 
etc., and in this peculiar network of charming spots and colors 
lies one of its special points of unsurpassed beauty. They far 
outrank all other Gladioli in size of spike, size of bloom, vigor, 
varied and magnificent coloring and freedom of bloom. By 
mail, we to pay postage, 3 cents each, 30 cents per dozen, $2.00 
per hundred; by express, you to pay expressage, $2.70 per 100.
