A Select List of Recently Introduced Sorts and the Better Standard Varieties 



The list of named Gladiolus offered on this and the succeeding pages comprises our choice in the fields after studying and comparing 



the merits of hundreds of varieties, consideration being given to healthy growth, size, form, coloring and substance of flowers, properly 



spaced and faced on strong, straight, upright spikes, etc. We believe that this selection of up-to-date named Gladiolus is unsurpassable. 



Every precaution is taken to supply clean stock; all of our bulbs are thoroughly cleansed, fumigated, and dipped to destroy 



thrip and other insects.

OF TEN MODERN GLADIOLUS 



Illustrated in Colors on Opposite Page and Described Below 



Many of our customers frequently ask us to select a list of the ten best Gladiolus and never in our experience have we been in position 

 to make a better selection than the group described here and shown in colors on the opposite page. We consider these the ten best not 

 only for the garden but also for cutting and for exhibition purposes. The varieties included are among those indicated as favorites, 

 and the most popular by the votes of the members of the New England Gladiolus Society. All are prize winners and will be found on exhibi- 

 tion in every Gladiolus Show during the coming year. 



We hope our customers will avail themselves of this opportunity to beautify their gardens with this group of outstanding Gladiolus.
