Maule's Select Named Gladiolus— Continued 



There is quite a long list of the named varieties of gladioli comprising every color, size and shape. We allot several acres to the growing of 

 gladioli at our seed farm in New Jersey, and every year we try out all the new varieties on the market. From a large list, we have selected 28 

 varieties, which we consider the cream of the list, 18 varieties on this page and 10 on the opposite one. Many prefer named sorts, which allows 

 them to have just the colors they most desire. We offer large, blooming sized bulbs, guaranteed to flower true to name and color.
