"UP-TO-DATE" 

 VARIETIES OF 



Named Gladiolus 



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 therefore believe that this selection of up-to-date named Gladiolus is unsurpassable, containing as it 

 does the best of Childsii, Gandavensis, Groff's, Lemoine's and Hybrid Sections. All old "runout" inferior and "too-near-alike" varieties have 

 been eliminated. A fair sized collection of these modern Gladiolus will afford a continuous succession of delightful surprises to the grower. 



NOTE. — The Section or Type to which the varieties belong is indicated by the letters (C) for Childsii, (G) for Gandavensis, (Gf.) for Groff's, 

 (H) for Hybrid, (L) for Lemoine's, (K) for Kunderi. The earliness or lateness of varieties is indicated by the succeeding numbers, 10, 11, 12, 

 etc. Those marked "10" bloom in ten weeks from bulb planting. Those marked "12" bloom in twelve weeks. Those marked "14" bloom in 

 fourteen weeks. Those marked "16" bloom in sixteen weeks, etc.
