DREER'S GOLD MEDAL GLADIOLI 



Our Gold Medal Blends are made up entirely of 

 named sorts, grown separately and blended according 

 to a carefully considered formula, so that there may 

 be a proper balance of the various colorings and shad- 

 ings. The four sections are entirely free from Primu- 

 linus sorts, or as free as it is humanly possible to 

 keep them. We have found through bitter experi- 

 ence that it is impracticable, and indeed impossible, 

 to offer Gladioli that have been grown in mixture, 

 with any degree of satisfaction to either ourselves 

 or our customers. Such mixtures soon become loaded 

 with undesirable but rapidly propagating sorts and 

 the whole color scheme is thereby thrown out of 

 perspective. 



In our blends we use only the finest named kinds 

 and no variety enters into them that is not large 

 flowering, with attractive color, good texture^ spike 

 and placement. AU are sorts that are well worth 

 growing individually. 



Section One. The range of coloring extends from rich 

 rose, through old rose, rose ash, orange scarlet 

 and bright red, to deep crimson and velvety maroon. 

 45 cts. per doz.; $2.75 per 100; $22.00 per 1000. 



Section Two. From palest blush to warm deep pink 

 and soft rose, from cream and primrose to citron 

 yellow and salmon orange, together with snowy 

 and tinted whites and other sorts splashed or 

 stained with deeper blending shades, the colorings 

 of our Gold Medal No. 2 Blend carry always a 

 strong- appeal. 45 cts. per doz.; .$2.75 per 100; $22.00 

 per 1000. 



Section Three. Pale lavender, deep blue, lilac, helio- 

 trope and amaranth, with velvety royal purple, — 

 all of the rich "Pansy" shades have been garnered 

 for this blend. 60 cts. per doz.; $3.25 per 100; $32.00 

 per 1000. 



All Sections Mixed. An actual mixing in due propor- 

 tion of bulbs from the three numbered blends. If 

 you want all of the possible Gladiolus colorings, 

 you should find them here. 45 cts. per doz.; $2.50 

 per 100; .$20.00 per 1000.
