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. Or- 
chids cannot surpass them in varied and delicate shades, mark- 
ings and blendings. Every color known among Gladioli is 
represented, and many never before seen, particularly blues, smoky 
graysand purple blacks, allhaving beautifully mottledand 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 sizé of spike, size of bloom, vigor, varied 
and magnificent coloring and freedom of bloom. 5 cents 
each, 50 cents per dozen, $3.00 per hundred, by express; 
you to pay expressage. Cheaper mixture, 3 cents
