GLADIOLUS 



The Grand New Gladiolus, America 



This beautiful new Gladiolus is likely to produce as great a sensation as the i»dw famous Princeps. 

 The flowers, which are of immense size, are of the most beautiful flesh-pink color, and, as a florist who 

 saw it said, it is " fine enough for a bride's bouquet." Quantities of these blooms were used for d^ec- 

 orating the yacht Mayflower when President Roosevelt received the Peace Envoys at Oyster Bay. 

 This great variety was awarded certificates of merit by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at 

 Boston, Mass., August, 190s, and by the Society of American Florists at Washington, D. C, August, 1905. 

 16 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
