 comprises our choice in the fields after studying and comparing the 

 merits of hundreds of varieties, consideration being given to healths 

 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
