Gladiolus Bulbs 
GLADIOLUS IN MIXTURE 
Our Gladiolus bulbs are all Eastern grown and are not to be confused with 
cheap Western stock. Much of the latter contain diseased bulbs and also 
bulbs of very poor quality. Anyone receiving our bulbs will readily recognize 
the difference by their large, sound and healthy appearance. 
Except where noted, our Gladiolus bulbs are all extra selected in size. 
Special prices for large quantities.

GROFFS SILVER TROPHY AND GOLD 
MEDAL GLADIOLUS 
THE SILVER TROPHY STRAIN 
For quality, diversity and beauty of color, this is a world beater. The scarlet, crimson 
and red shades, are of the richest and most intense yet introduced in mixture. Those of 
white, light and yellow are found in many combinations, relieved by stains and blotches of 
rich colors, in most pleasing contrasts, while the blue, heliotrope, lilac and clematis shades 
are beyond description, and practically unknown. 
GOLD MEDAL COLLECTION 
Made up from choice new varieties of both American and European origin, representing 
all desirable types.

Gentlemen : Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Sept. 24 , 1904 . 
I do wish to state that the Gladioli bulbs, and also the Cannas that I ordered from you in the Spring, were the finest I have ever seen ; nearly all 
the Gladioli having three branches to the flower stalk and such large and beautiful blossoms. Yours truly, nTrnnxT
