SUPERB GLADIOLUS 
MORE POPULAR THAN 
EVER—ALL POSTPAID 
Especially Low Prices Continued for All Gladiolus Bulbs. Plant Liberally—Be a “Glad Pan.” 
This very attractive flower has grown into popularity with marvelous rapidity. All lovers of flowers find a suitable space for many of 
the wonderful distinct varieties. You can not afford to be without a liberal planting. 
The Gladiolus are the most attractive and useful cut flowers of all the summer flowering bulbs. The long, graceful spikes that carry 
fifteen to twenty buds may be cut soon as the first flower buds show color; then, if kept in water each successive bud will develop and 
thus prolong; the blooming many days. No other flower is thus equal, nor as easy of cultivation. 
The planting season starts in April, and continues until in June, at intervals of 2 weeks; you thus have flowers from late July until 
frost time. Best results are obtained in a sunny position and placing the bulbs fully 6 inches deep. Water freely. 
A very complete Cultural Leaflet on Gladiolus free with orders upon request. To eliminate Aphis and Thrip’ treat with Semesan, 
or Corrosive Sublimate, and store with Naphtha Flakes.

ABOUT GLADIOLUS 
Disease 
All our bulbs are from treated 
planting stocks, and every precau¬ 
tion has been taken to keep them 
free from disease. The past two years 
there has been considerable damage done 
by Gladiolus Thrips. They injure the 
foliage and unfolded buds so that they 
do not open into normal flowers. Be on 
the safe side, whether planting new stock 
or bulbs saved from previous year. 
ROTOTOX 
A Penetrol Spray that is highly recom¬ 
mended for Thrips on Gladiolus. Trial 
ounce, 35c; 8-oz. size, $1.00; pint 
size, $1.75; quart can, $3.00.
