GLADIOLUS 
Important to the Forcer 
Please bear in mind the fact that Gladiolus 
bulbs which we supply for forcing under glass 
are especially cultured and scientifically treated 
for that purpose. Under reasonably normal 
conditions growers should obtain worth-while 
results from such stock. 
In addition to that Queen of forcing Gladiolus, 
"PICARDY" 
we are in position to supply all of the better 
varieties for under glass culture and at advan¬ 
tageous prices. As predicted by us last year, 
Picardy has proved to be the most outstanding 
cut flower Gladiolus introduced in the past dec¬ 
ade and this very worth-while variety has cre¬ 
ated no end of unusually favorable comment 
from the trade and public as well. 
PICARDY (Greenhouse Grown) 
realized in the Chicago market the past season 
from $2.40 to $3.50 per dozen, with all offerings 
promptly absorbed.
