R. B. Dunning & Co. Superb Gladiolus 
There is no other Summer flowering bulb that is enjoying so great popularity as that 
of the Gladiolus. Their adaptability to garden decoration or to use as cut flowers during 
the Summer and early Autumn is surpassed by no other flower. They are not only showy 
in the garden but when cut with the first flower open, will last for 10 days in the house. 
They thrive in almost any good garden soil but better results may be had if soil is well 
prepared and enriched with some of our pulverized manures. Great improvements have 
been made in the size, color and beauty of these flowers. Our list comprises the best of 
recent introductions as well as the most popular of the standard varieties. Plant bulbs
