THE WORLD’S 15 BEST GLADIOLUS 
These 15 Varieties Received the 15 Highest Votes of The American 
Gladiolus Society 
When I say that the 15 Gladiolus described below are the “Worlds Best”, 1 am not merely 
expressing a personal opinion. This is the seasoned judgment of the members of the American 
Gladiolus Society, as expressed by ballot. I have listed these varieties in the order of merit, accord¬ 
ing to votes received. W. H. Phipps is first, having received the highest number of votes (1458); 
Minuet is second, with 1264 votes, etc. 
With more than 7,000 varieties of Gladiolus from which to select, the members of the Amer¬ 
ican Gladiolus Society selected these 15 varieties as the best. Naturally, they are all of outstanding 
merit—large flowers, of magnificent form, texture and color, and many flowers open on a stalk at 
once. Each is the finest of its class. They carry off all the prizes wherever they are shown. And 
so, if you wish to have a collection of Gladiolus that will be the sensation in your community, either 
on the show bench or in the garden, this is your opportunity.
