Experience has proved that the climate and soil of Monmouth, here 

 by the seaside, with our long- season of growth and bright sunshine and 

 the heat of summer tempered by the ocean, is the most favorable spot 

 upon the globe for the perfect development of the Gladiolus. Our bidbs 

 are therefore not only equal but are superior to those produced anywhere 

 else in America or Em'ope.
