VAUGHAN'S GLADIOLI 



Our stores at Chicago and New York have taken a front rank in the last few years 

 in growing and wholesaling the Gladioli. 



We have introduced two remarkable kinds in recent years — Priuceps, the $1,000 

 wonder, and JMrs. Francis King, the remarkable cut flower sort. 



We are headquarters for all the best selections in quantities, and florists are planting 

 our named early flowering types in five to ten thousand lots.

Popular beyond every other variety, both in thi.s country and throughout Europe. It has made 

 a class for itself, and you do not liave the best of all until you buy it.

 liant scarlet crimson with three broad white blotches on the lower petals. Very scarce.
