DREER'S SELECT GLADIOLI 



Gladioli hold an ever increasing interest, not alone for their rainbow splendor in border and 

 garden, but even more for their value as satisfactory and long-lasting cut flowers. Nor is the 

 cost at which all this beauty is spread great in either time or money, for their cultural require- 

 ments are of the simplest, and with a little care the number of bulbs may be vastly increased 

 from season to season. No other garden flower gives so much and takes so little.

We have chosen from the recent introductions of American,and European growers, nine 

 sorts of really outstanding quality; kinds that will please and surprise those familiar only
