The Finest of Cut Flo 
wers 
BOSE MARIE. Light pink base; striped and lined with 
orchid. A fine cut. flower, delicate shade which combines 
with most any .other color. 
PRESIDENT HARDING. Large rose pink, shaded, giving 
the effect of a real dark American Beauty Rose. 
1 flowers we grow. Mrs. May has selected 
some of the varieties which she particularly 
likes. You will find them listed in her col¬ 
lection. We cut gladiolus by the arm load from 
the first of July on, for basket and vase bou¬ 
quets for the studio and all through the store. 
Cut the stalks when a few flowers are open and 
even in the hottest weather, they will hold their 
shape and color for days. Cutting the flower 
when plenty of adjoining leaves are left, does 
not harm the growth of the bulb in any way. 
Another fine thing about gladiolus — they 
come in almost every color of the rainbow. See 
my Rainbow Collection. I think it the greatest 
value in gladiolus. 
Plant the bulbs in reasonably rich garden 
soil in full sun, from four to six inches deep. 
Plant deeper in sandy or loose soil. Dig bulbs 
after the first killing frost and store in the 
basement as you would dry onions until plant¬ 
ing time the following year. 
The bulbs I send you are large, blooming size, 
guaranteed to grow and 
1 bloom for you this year.
