rieties adaptable to early planting for cut flowers. Please contact with us about your 
Gladiolus needs. We are in a position second to none to Qualify Your Wants in This Line. 
“Picardy” 
(Illustrated Opposite) 
Has proved to be the most outstanding cut flower Glad¬ 
iolus introduced in the past decade. This very worth¬ 
while variety has created no end of unusually favorable 
comment at the recent Chicago "Century of Progress," 
likewise with the retail cut flower trade in general. Ex¬ 
ceptional for under glass as well as outdoor culture.

Grower 
IMPORTANT! All Snapdragon Seed which 
we supply for under-glass production has been 
produced in greenhouses, is true to name and 
obtains full strength. We cannot recommend 
for greenhouse planting seed that has been 
harvested from outdoor cultures, as we have 
found such not infrequently to be of doubtful 
quality insofar as cut-flower production is con¬ 
cerned.
