DREER’S SELECT GLADIOLUS 
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 
mixture and in named sorts. 
Note. We supply all varieties in strictly select No. 1 bulbs.
