Gladioli!! 
<1 The appreciation of 
the Gladiolus, as 
an all around flow- 
er, is still in its in- 
fancy. A vast num- 
ber of people hardly 
know either the real 
beauty or merits of 
The Gladiolus , the 
Flower Beautiful! 
<1 Many new sorts are con- 
stantly being evolved. 
All are beautiful and in- 
teresting to the critical 
“hobbyist.” Those of 
superior merits and out- 
standing qualities appeal 
to the most exacting. 
<1 Our collection includes 
all the best, every one 
having superior charac- 
teristics. These have 
been selected out of thou- 
sands of the named sorts 
from all sources. 
<1 Many people prefer high- 
grade mixtures. We 
have them in Pinks, 
Reds, Yellow, Whites, 
selected when in bloom. 
Very meritorious. Our 
Primulinus Hybrids 
mixed, are recognized as 
a superior type. Very 
early, tall, large, inter- 
esting. Our customers 
consider our Primulinus 
Hybrids “the tallest 
growing and largest 
blooming!” 
Hobbyists everywhere, 
write us that our new 
Crimson Glow, is the one 
best glowing crimson, 
and many say it is “ the 
one best Gladiolus ever 
sent out!”

“ Quality Over All ” 
NOW is The Time of Times 
To PLAN 
While the fallen leaves reveal every detail of hill and dale and stream 
and rocky ledge — that is the time to make plans for wild gardening, to lay 
out woodland paths and trails, to determine places and areas for intensive 
plantings, and to decide on the right Shrubs and Evergreens and Ferns 
and Wild Flowers to be added to those already growing. In order to make 
it easy and convenient for clients to talk with us, and get our suggestions about 
wild gardening, our associate, Mr. Herbert Durand is 
At Your Service for Consultations , at 286 Fifth 
Avenue , New York City 
Wild Gardening — the kind that preserves the natural beauty of your 
grounds, and enhances it by introducing other wild forms of native plant life 
— is just coming into its own. For nearly twenty years we have been getting 
ready for the time when nature’s own plant treasures would find due appreci- 
ation. That day is here. We are prepared to supply the cone bearing Ever- 
greens, the Rhododendrons, the Mountain Laurel, the Azaleas, the Ferns, the 
native Orchids, and hundreds of other wild things that will transform your wood- 
land, meadow, hillside, or bog into places of surpassing interest and charm. 
Of Course there is a Catalogue 
and it will be a pleasure to mail it to you. Pronounced the most unusual plant 
catalogue published. Unusual, not so much in style of presentation, as in the 
information and unique character of the plant material it offers. Whether it’s 
a Fern, rare or popular, or a Perennial, quaint, curious or common, so long as 
it has proved its worth or hardiness, you’ll find it offered in this catalogue 
which is gladly mailed free to every reader of Garden Magazine. You may 
write to the office nearest you — either New York or Southwick, will gladly 
comply promptly with your request.
