BULBS AND ROOTS 



GLADIOLI 



Gladiolus in Mass Planting 



LOS ANGELES. Shrimp pink with orange-carmine throat. 

 Famous as a "cut and come again" variety, as it will send

 ple blotch, very unusual and attractive. 



MR. W. H. PHIPPS. LaFrance pink, overlaid with salmon

 deeping towards the edges of the petals, creamy blotches in

 ist variety. 



MRS. FRANK PENDLETON. Deep rose-pink, shading to 

 pale pink in throat, large bright crimson blotches on lower 

 petals, giving it a striking appearance; tall, vigorous grow- 

 er; extra cut flower sort. 



MRS. LEON DOUGLAS. Tremendously large flowers, many 

 open at a time, very tall, strong stem with several side 

 snoots. Color, begonia rose striped with flame scarlet, lower 

 petal pale lemon, speckled ruby. The whole forming a 

 gigantic bouquet. Considered one of the largest glads in 

 existence.

 petals, with dark blotch on lower petals. 



PEACE. One of the best, pure white with lilac feathering 

 on lower petals; large flowers on long, strong stem, many

 an old favorite and always dependable.

 pink shade. 



VIRGINIA. Flaming scarlet; large, massive flowers, many 

 open at a time, making a gorgeous display of dazzling red;

VVILBRINK. Flesh pink with yellow blotch on lower petals; 

 large well placed flowers on tall, strong stems; the first pink 

 to bloom, together with Halley of which it is a sport; extra 

 fine cut flower. 



Plant Manns' Gladioli Bulbs. They are strictly 1% inch 

 or more in diameter, sound, true to name, and can be abso- 

 lutely depended upon to produce large, beautiful well-formed 

 blooms. 



Cultural Suggestions: Set bulbs 4 inches deep and 6 

 inches apart, either in rows or massed in beds, borders or 

 among shrubbery. Successive plantings from April to July 

 will bloom from July until frost. They will thrive in any 

 good garden soil, but a sunny location is best. Cultivate 

 frequently and water freely while blooms are forming.

 amaranth purple center, the whole a warm, velvety color, 

 large slightly ruffled flowers on strong stem.
