Flowerland Superior Gladiolus 
Gladiolus are most commonly planted in beds, to be used for cut flowers, but their great value in landscape 
plantings should not be overlooked. In mixed border plantings, with a background of shrubbery or walls, groups 
of a dozen or twenty-five bulbs of one variety are exceedingly effective. Its attractive foliage as well as the love¬ 
ly flower spikes make a wholly pleasing picture. 
Bulbs should be planted at regular intervals, beginning in autumn and continuing through spring. By plant¬ 
ing this way you will be supplied with flowers continually. 
Albatross. Those who saw this variety at the Biltmore Show 
pronounced it the best white they had yet seen. The spikes are 
long and well filled with large, beautiful pure white flowers. 
There is none better for floral display. 
Commander Koehl. The huge flowers are very dark velvety 
red. A strikingly handsome new European variety. 
Mother Machree. The novelty combination of this "smoky” 
variety is indeed sensational. The clear light gray ground is 
tinted bluish lavender shading darker at the outer edges of the 
petals, the tips of which are lightly flecked bright orange-red. 
Hinemoa. The color of this novelty is unique as well as sen¬ 
sational—a vivid combination of maroon and red with a bright 
yellow blotch.

Coronado. Although the flowers are extremely large, this 
variety has a delicacy unexcelled. Its coloring is white, with 
lace-like penciling of violet in the throat, and the flowers are 
heavily ruffled. 
Coryphee. The unusually fine spikes are made up of large 
flowers of clear, delicate pink, a rare color in gladiolus.

est red Glads. The huge flowers are vivid scarlet, extremely 
showy.

Betty Nuthall. One of the very best of the newer Glads and 
a prize-winner in all shows, sharing the prominence of such 
varieties as Mrs. W. H. Phipps, Dr. Bennett, and Mrs. Leon 
Douglas. Its color is a rich orange salmon, with soft golden 
throat. 
Minuet. We consider this the best of all lavender gladiolus. 
Very tall, strong and straight, with many large, delicate laven¬ 
der flowers, with a little splash of yellow in the throat. 
Mrs. W. H. Phipps. Justly considered one of the best all pur¬ 
pose varieties. Rich peach pink in color. The tall heavy spikes 
bear as many as twenty buds, eight to twelve enormous flowers 
being open at one time.

outstanding blue gladiolus of today. Veilchenblau is a very 
beautiful violet blue with a darker blue blotch.

Lovely New Gladiolus 
Picardy 
Truly outstanding is this wonderful new variety. Its color is 
most pleasing and not like any other variety yet produced— 
clear amber pink, soft, delicate, yet rich. The spikes are per¬ 
fect—very long with many flowers open. So well liked is this 
new flower that it sold at good prices on the San Francisco 
flower market all season, even when the market was flooded 
with other varieties. 
25c each, $2.50 per dozen, $18.00 per 100 
THREE GRAND NEW 
GLADIOLUS 
European originations grown and distributed in 
this country exclusively by Paul J. Howard. 
FREDERICK SCHILLER. A delightfully clear 
rich rose shade which is most desirable in floral 
decorations. The informal arrangement of the 
large handsome flowers on long graceful spikes 
makes this one of the most decorative varieties 
ever produced. 
CLORIA MUNDI. Beautiful long spikes of 
large bright golden yellow flowers make this one 
of the most showy Gladiolus of all. We consider 
it the most promising of its color, and the large 
bed of it displayed at Flowerland this Spring was 
a treat to behold. 
WHITE HOUSE. Purest white, the large open 
flowers glistening in the sun like the reflections 
of snowy clouds. A truly superior variety and 
this, along with Frederick Schiller and Gloria 
Mundi was the envy of all who saw the beautiful 
display at our grounds this Spring.
