MODERN GLADIOLUS 



Groff s 



This strain of great merit has been evolved by Mr. Groff, a Canadian banker 

 with scientific tendencies, who is widely known as an enthusiastic and successful 

 hybridizer and grower of Gladiolus. His means enabled him to collect from 

 various parts of the world perhaps the finest collection of Gladiolus ever gotten 

 together. He flowered and retained the cream of these, then cross-bred and 

 selected annually for over 15 years, until the present Groff strain of Hybrid 

 Gladiolus is absolutely unsurpassable. The flowers are e.\tra large, of perfect 

 form, splendid substance, and of the greatest beauty, embracing a range of 

 diversified coloring with combinations of markings almost endless and undreamed 

 of, insuring to purchasers of these bulbs many delightful surprises. .
