We ask special attention to the twelve splendid named Gladiolus described below, they 

 are entirely new, and are now offered for the first time ; they have been selected from many 

 thousands of carefully Hybridized Seedlings, as combining the choicest and most exquisite 

 shades of color and marking, with large, perfectly formed flowers, and full well developed 

 spikes. We can safely say they are superior in every way to the finest imported sorts, and 

 represent the highest type of beauty this remarkably beautiful flower has attained. We 

 have placed the price as low as is compatible with the hmited stock in hand. All of which 

 we own, and will distribute to our customers. These superb sorts are not for sale by any 

 other house in the United States. Price as noted.
