ISBELL’S GLADIOLI 
New and Choice Sorts 
As a Summer cut flower Gladioli can hardly be excelled while for 
garden display in small and large groups they are planted more 
generally every year. 
Gladioli succeeds almost anywhere and may be planted from the 
last of April until June 15tli for succession of bloom.
