GROFF'S NEW HYBRIDS 
J^^' 9™^' *,f*f years of hybridizing the best varieties of the best classes of Gladioli and care- 
fully discarding all flowers not reaching the highest standard of excellence, has succeeded in raising 
a new race of this gorgeous flower, altogether in advance of what has been, both in size of spikes 
and blooms and bnUiancy and diversity of colorings. We are safe in saying these new hybrids are far 
Bupenor to any Gladioli ever offered in Europe or America, and many of the colors have never before 
lieen thought possible to be produced in Gladioli. 
GROFF'S WORLD'S FAIR COLLECTION— This new collection is prepared by Mr. H. H. 
Groff, from high-class novelties of recent introduction and undoubted merit. 
It contains only a few hundred varieties, specially selected from the cream of 
the best sorts, to meet the demand for a limited number of Extra Choice Types, Gladiolus 
rather than a collection of great range of variety, so every bloom will be the very best. 
Shades are of the most brilliant red, scarlet, crimson, cerise, yellow, blue and light colors, and the flowers are of 
exceptional size and beauty. Each, 15c.; doz., 81.25. 
GROFF'S EXTRA SELECTED PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION COLLECTION— Is made up from the choice new varieties ex- 
hibited at Buffalo, in 1901. The combinations of colors are endless, embracing the best productions of the most brilliant 
and at the same time delicate tints and striking contrasts of intense and vivid colora, practically unknown commercially. 
Flowers are of the largest size, spikes correct in form and plants of exceptional vigor. Per 100, 87.00, doz. 81.25; ea. 16c.
