COOK S “AULSEED” QUALITY 
Assorted Gladiolus 
DR. F. E. BENNETT. Deep peach-red, with flame- 
scarlet suffusion, lip speckled ruby and white. 
Large flowers borne on tall, stiff stems. The gen¬ 
eral effect of the flower is red and it is considered 
the finest of its color. 85c per doz., $6 per 100. 
E. J. SHAYLOR. Tall, very strong plants and large 
blooms of a beautiful deep rose-pink. This variety 
has recently been awarded a certificate of merit in 
London. 75c per doz., $6 per 100. 
EVELYN KIRTLAND. The flowers, of strong sub¬ 
stance, are a beautiful shade of rosy pink, darker 
at the edges, fading to shell-pink at the center with 
brilliant scarlet blotches on the lower petals, the 
entire flower showing a glistening, sparkling lus¬ 
ter. Very tall spike. Extra-fine form and color. 85c 
per doz., $6 per 100. 
GOLDEN DREAM. A fine addition to the yellow 
Gladiolus, and particularly suitable for cut-flowers. 
It is rather similar to Golden Measure, and, like 
that variety, grows tall and straight, with many 
large flowers open at the same time. The blooms 
are pure golden yellow, of a clearer shade than 
those of Golden Measure. $1 per doz., $7 per 100. 
GRETCHEN ZANG. A beautiful rose tone of pink, 
blending toward scarlet on the lower petals. A va¬ 
riety of great merit on account of its splendid sub¬ 
stance and size. 75c per doz., $5 per 100. 
HALLEY. A variety that is largely grown on account 
of its earliness. The flowers are large in size, of 
beautiful salmon-pink, with creamy white blotch in 
throat. One of the earliest-blooming varieties in 
our list. 50c per doz., $4 per 100. 
LOS ANGELES. Beautiful shrimp-pink, with glowing 
orange-carmine blotch in throat. Tall and graceful; 
blooms for a long time. A very excellent variety for 
cutting, being in constant demand by florists. 75c 
per doz., $5 per 100. 
GLADIOLUS (Continued) 
MARMORA. Lavender to lavender-gray with petunia- 
colored blotch. Flowers very tall, large, well ar¬ 
ranged on tall, strong stems, with from eight to 
twelve open at once. One of the best Gladiolus ever 
introduced. $2 per doz., $15 per 100. 
MARY PICKFORD. An extraordinary flower and 
spike of delicate creamy white. Throat sulphur- 
yellow; stem and calyx also white. 75c per doz., $5 
per 100. 
MRS. DR. NORTON. Delicate cream and pink, deep¬ 
ening towards the edges; sulphur-yellow center. 
Flowers widely expanded. A beautiful variety much 
admired at Gladiolus exhibitions. 85c per doz., $6 
per 100. 
MRS. FREDERICK C. PETERS. This beautiful new 
variety, somewhat resembling the orchid in color¬ 
ing, is very desirable for fine gardens. It is a rose- 
lilac, with crimson blotch bordered white on lower 
segments. 85c per doz., $6 per 100. 
MRS. FRANCIS KING. Brilliant flamingo-pink, 
blazed with vermilion-red. Popular variety on ac¬ 
count of its attractive color. Splendid for mass ef¬ 
fects. 50c per doz., $4 per 100. 
GOLDEN MEASURE. A deeper shade of yellow, 
heretofore unknown in the large-flowering Gladio¬ 
lus. Several of these gorgeous flowers in bloom at 
once on a tall stem give a most magnificent effect. 
$1 per doz., $7 per 100.
