GLADIOLI 



Summer-flowering bulbs of the very easiest culture and with a wide 

 range of color. Elegant for tlie garden or beautiful for cut-flower 

 purposes. For the latter use they should be cut when the first flower 

 opens, the balance of buds will develop when spikes are placed in water 

 and thus greatly protract the blooming term. Plantings may be made 

 every two weeks to provide for a succession of bloom. We offer the 

 leading mixtures and a selection of excellent named varieties.
