“PICARDY” 
Has proved to be the most outstanding cut flower Gladiolus introduced in the past 
decade. “Picardy” created no end of unusually favorable comment at the recent 
Chicago “Century of Progress.” Buy “Picardy” early is our suggestion, as the supply 
of same is not extensive this year.—A. B. C.
