Dreer’s Select Gladiolus 
Gladiolus need no introduction. They are universally appreciated as one of the most useful and 
satisfactory of all summer flowering plants for garden display and for cutting. By starting some bulbs 
early in April after danger of severe frost is past and making successive plantings at intervals of about 10 
days until early July gorgeous blooms may be had from June until October. 
Our bulbs are all of the largest size. They are free from disease and infestation. Thrips which are 
present in some localities sometimes attack the plants but they are easily controlled. Instructions for 
thrips control will be included with every shipment of bulbs.
