PLANT the BEST 
Never Mind the Rest 
Which are the best 
is the next question. 
In my Fall Bulb List I have divided the 
varieties of Glads into two sections: 
first, those that are well known and of 
medium price ; secondly, those that are 
new and rare and still high in price. 
These sections are again divided into 
subsections, according to the colors. 
Into the above divisions I have put the 
varieties that have done best for me 
in extensive trials I do not claim to 
be the last authority on which are the 
best Gladioli, but I don’t think that 
my selections are far wrong. 
I found out something about Dahlias 
also, this last summer. Out of 100 va- 
rieties of Cactus Dahlias on trial, just 
six bloomed freely weeks ahead of 
the rest, without artificial watering and 
with only sparse cultivation. 
This test means something to the thou- 
sands of flower growers in the great 
middle west where Dahlias are a crop 
about one year out of five. 
Old customers will receive a copy of 
this List without a request. 
If we are not yet acquainted, send me 
your name at once.
