GLADIOLI 



Gladiolus. Mary Pickford 



The wonderful results which our customers are having with our Northern 

 grown Gladioli, have led us to increase our stocks and enlarge our list, adding 

 many new varieties, selected from hundreds of old and new introductions, which 

 have been found to be the most desirable sorts. Beauty of form and color, height, 

 substance, number of blooms open at once and keeping quality, have been de- 

 termining factors upon which we have judged and made selections. 



Plant Manns' Gladioli Bulbs. They are strictly 1}^ inch or more in diameter, 

 sound, true to name, and can be absolutely 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.
