GLADIOLI BULBS FOR FLORISTS 



Our Gladioli fields are managed for producing first-ciass bulbs. We plant none for cut-flower purposes 

 and the limited number of blooms which we sell are cut with sufficiently short stems to leave ample foliage 

 on the growing plant, without which it does not mature as strong and healthy a bulb. Our stock of bulbs 

 grown as above will force under glass and will also give strong and healthy flower spikes, blooming early 

 when planted early on favorably located ground. 



Mrs. Francis King is used in all the largest cities and produces the most showy and noticeable flower 

 spikes for big decorations. 



KUNDERDl "GLORY"— With "Ruffled" Petals 

 The broadly expanded, wide-open flowers, paired by twos, all face in the same direction and are carried 

 on straight stout stalks fully 3}i feet. From three to eight of these handsome flowers are open at one time. 

 Each petal is exquisitely ruffled and fluted. 



The color is a delicate cream~pink, with a most attractive crimson stripe in the center of each lower 

 petal, the shade of which is unique in Gladioli. Per loO $s.so, per looo $48.00.

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

MRS. FRANCIS KINO— New Giant-Flowered Gladiolus

 cut-flower. Color is a bright "Flamingo" pink, strikingly attractive. The separate flowers, which measure 

 4 to 5 inches, are borne on stalks 5 feet high, 5 to 6 flowers being open at one time. Strong, robust grower

 !)etals. They are borne on tall straight stems and from 5 to 7 flowers are open at one time. It is one of the earliest
