View of one of our Gladiolus Fields — Annual production several million bulbs. 
All gladiolus are beautiful but those florists and grow¬ 
ers who make money must plant profitable money 
making varieties. In addition to the popular modern list 
on page 1 which every grower, no matter how small, 
should have and the fine forcing list on the next page, 
I recommend the following list for variety’s sake as 
not every customer will buy the same colors and var¬ 
ieties. Flowers cannot be standardized like many lines 
of staple merchandise. The florist, seedsman, nursery¬ 
man or grower who understands merchandising will 
keep a representative list to give variety and change 
it often enough to keep it up-to-date. These varieties 
are well known, some are old standbys, all are useful 
as cut flowers. If you don’t know them get acquaint- 
ed this year and let them help you make money in
