(Sword Lily) 
The increasing popularity of the Gladioli has caused us to specialize in their 
production at cur Mayfield nurseries, where we raise hundreds of thousands of 
these magnificent bulbs yearly, carefully eliminating the unworthy sorts and cul- 
tivating only those varieties which have demonstrated their supeiiority in beauty 
and hardiness. 
The Gladioli are quite the most beautiful of the summer 
flowers, they are graceful and majestic in form, exquisite 
in color harmony and texture, rivaling the orchid in rich- 
ness of effect, while they are so easily cultivated that they 
are possible in any gaiden. The flowers, cut, will last from 
a week to ten days in water. You will find heie listed only 
the cream of the varieties grown by us. To growers of 
specialties we would recommend the named varieties, 
but our collections will be found to contain bulbs of the 
same strains and qualities.
