Dreer’s Superior 
Mixed Gladiolus 
There are over two hundred different 
varieties of Gladiolus included in this 
mixture. No wonder that gardeners every- 
where are highly pleased with it. May we 
say that our mixture for 1940 is even 
better than any other we have ever had 
before as we kept a very close watch on 
our fields this summer and made careful 
notes as to which colors may be added in 
order to still further improve the mag- 
nificent color effect.
