OLDS' BEAUTIFUL GLADIOLI 
Gladioli are generally recognized as the most beautiful and popular of all the flowers grown from summer flower¬ 
ing bulbs. They are of very easy culture and well suited for garden as well as cut flower purposes. 
Olds’ Gladiolus Bulbs are all first size (one and one-half inches in diameter and up), high crowned, grown from 
Semesan-treated bulbs and are of exceptionally fine quality.
