GLADIOLI 



Gladiol 



Summer-flowering bulbs of the very easiest culture and with a wide range of color. Elegant 



for the garden or beautiful for cut-flower purposes. For the latter use they should be cut 



when the first flower opens; the balance of buds will develop when spikes are placed in water 



and thus greatly prolong the blooming term. Plantings may be made every two weeks to 



provide for a succession. We offer the leading mixtures and excellent named varieties.
