Gladiolus Department 
Last year we offered our customers a Glad¬ 
iolus Collection which we called the “World’s 
Best”. It consisted of one bulb of each of the 
twenty-five varieties which received the greatest 
number of votes of the American Gladiolus So¬ 
ciety the previous year. Each bulb was named 
and collections were limited to two for each cust¬ 
omer. It met with such favor that we are repeat¬ 
ing the offer this year. The varieties and num¬ 
ber of votes are as follows:
