Glorious Gladiolus 
Gladiolus are very important garden flowers. They are easy to grow,

For a succession of flowers make several plantings of 

Dreer’s 
Superior 
MIXED 
GLADIOLUS 
These mixtures are made up of in- 
numerable giant-flowering sorts of all 
colors. The larger sizes will quite nat- 
urally produce somewhat larger spikes 
than the smaller ones, and the latter 
should not be planted too late in the 
season. There are few gardens where 
100 bulbs of these could not be used to 
great advantage to add their stately 
appearance and brilliant colors during 
the summer and fall.
