54 GLADIOLUS 



The J. Bolgiano Seed Co., Baltimore, Md. 



Large-flowered GLADIOLUS m^SslW^t'^TI^aitZS^h^^^tes 



Failure with Gladiolus has never been known. They grow in any open position and bloom well. They are not only showy 

 in the garden, but if cut when the first flower opens, last for ten days in the house. The newer colorings defy description and 

 rival the choicest orchids. Plant them 4 inches deep, 6 inches apart, and stake when 2 feet high. Flowers appear from early 

 July until late in the fall. A succession of blooms may be had by making plantings from April to June, about ten days apart.

BOLGIANO'S SPECIAL SELECTION OF GLADIOLUS 



Mixed from choice named varieties 



There are so many bewilderingly beautiful Gladiolus that it is almost impossible to make a selection of favorites from 

 them. In this dilemma many growers buy this superb mixture of the finest varieties in which we are careful to include 

 many of the choicest kinds. Relieved of the expensive labor of keeping varietal names separate, such a mixture can be 

 sold much more cheaply than if the same varieties were sold separately and the flowers are, of course, identical. If you 

 are more interested in good Gladiolus than in their names, this mixture is the way to buy them. 

 25 bulbs, $1.00. 50 bulbs, $1.75. 100 bulbs, $3.50. 1,000 bulbs, $32.00
