WORLD'S FAIR COLLECTION OF GROFF'S NEW 

 AND RARE GLADIOLI. 



This new collection is prepared from high-class novelties of recent 

 production, and a few meritorious named varieties of late European 

 introduction. It contains only a few hundred varieties specially selected 

 from the cream of high quality and is prepared to meet the demand for 

 a limited number of extra choice types rather than a collection of great 

 range in variety like the Pan-American Exposition Collection which 

 contains over ten thousand varieties. 



The shades of red, scarlet, crimson, cerise, yellow, blue and light 

 colors are of the highest order and the purest quality. The flowers are 

 of exceptional size and beauty.
