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 long-lasting cut flowers. Nor is 

 the cost at which all this beauty is to be had great in either time or money. Tneir cultural 

 requirements are exceedingly simple and with little care the number of bulbs may be increased 

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

Coronado. This sensationally beautiful new white and purple Gladiolus

 are distinctive, exceedingly wide and delightfully ruffled. The petals 

 are glossy enamel white, with a large feather marking, almost a throat 

 blotch, of purest royal purple. 25c each; $2.00 per doz.; $14.00 per 100. 



Picardy. Clear flesh-pink, quite unmarked, shading to soft shrimp

 across, and as many as ten of them in full glory at one time on the tall 

 straight spikes. It cuts well, keeps well, and increases rapidly. No 

 other pink Gladiolus is more charming in color, or more satisfactory in 

 habit 30c each; $3.00 per doz.; $27.00 per 100. 



Tobersun. A new yellow Gladiolus of the highest merit — large flowers, 

 fine placement, heavy substance, and pure deep coloring. The spikes are 

 exceptionally tall and graceful, with so many blooms open at once that 

 they look like golden swords. The name "Tobersun", a contraction of 

 "October Sun", refers to the fact that beautiful spikes often show well 

 into October. 20c each; $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.
