The interest developed in the Gladiolus during the past few years has been tremendous, and 

 thousands of bulbs are now planted annually where dozens were used in the past. Their present 

 popularity is sure to continue and increase, as they are, without doubt, the most attractive and 

 useful of all summer-flowering bulbs, and, as a cut flower through the summer and autumn 

 months, hold a place that cannot be taken by any other flower. 



Wonderful improvements are being made each year in the size, color 

 and beauty of these flowers, and our list comprises only the best both in 

 1 mixture and in named sorts. 



' Note. We supply all varieties in strictly select No. 1 bulbs.
