Luther Burbank's 1913 Original Gladioli 
Suppose you could collect one, two, three or four of the masterpaintings of the 
world, or four or five of the finest diamonds in the world. You would like to pos- 
sess such treasures, wouldn't you? 
Here are treasures as fine in bulbs. 
They are a new and distinct type — the largest, the most brilliant, and the most 
varied ever created. 
The opportunity of securing these exclusive creations is now yours, but as there 
are only fifty sets in all, you must order at once to make sure. 
The varieties offered are especially rich in scarlet, salmon, and crimson shades — 
the rarest and most desired in all collections. 
The flowers are enormous, as remarkable for their size and substance as they 
are brilliant in coloring. 
Burbank's Gladioli are the most easily grown of all bulbous plants. They grow 
with vigor and freedom from fungus diseases. The growing season is very long. 
Plant in cold northern climates from April to July; in California at any season. 
They bloom in summer.
