IN GRAND MIXTURE. 



A new strain of great merit has been evolved by Mr. Groff, a Canadian banker 

 with scientific tendencies, who is widely known as an enthusiastic and successful 

 hybridizer and grower of Gladiolus. His means enabled him to collect from various 

 parts of the world perhaps the finest collection of Gladiolus ever gotten together. 

 Some of his bulbs cost him up to S5.00 each. He flowered and retained the cream 

 of these, then cross-bred and selected annually for over 15 years, until the present 

 Groff strain of Hybrid Gladiolus is absolutely unsurpassable and now world- 

 famous. Strong, vigorous-growing plants, with long, sturdy spikes. The flowers 

 are extra large, of perfect form, splendid substance, and of the greatest beauty, 

 embracing a range of diversified coloring with combinations of markings almost end- 

 less and undreamed of; there are red, scarlet, crimson and garnet shades of unex- 

 celled brilliancy and intensity; whites, creams, yellows, rose, pinks, salmon, orange, 

 etc.; stained, blotched, dotted, striped, watered and feathered in marvelous variety; 

 rare blues, clematis, lilac and heliotrope shades, charmingly unicjue and to be found 

 in no other strain of Gladiolus, insuring to purchasers many delightful surprises.
