THE GLORIOUS GLADIOLUS 
“An unconditional money-back guarantee to grow ” 
I hese fine conns (bulbs) are top-size, IV 2 inches in diameter and larger. They are produced from 
small bulbs and are young, vigorous and disease free. Large bulbs produced from old conns, as com¬ 
monly offered by variety stores at so-called bargain prices, do not produce the fine, tall spike and large, 
perfect flowers that the bulbs I offer will yield. 
All the Bulbs Are Scientifically Treated Against Thrip 
_ My list includes the finest new introductions in the Gladiolus world as well as those standard 
varieties which after many years of growing still retain their popularity and good habits. 
Exhibition varieties marked with — under first letter 
Culture— Plant the bulbs in any good garden soil about 5 inches deep. This will vary with the 
soil texture, planting shallower in heavy soils and even deeper in light, sandy soils. Space the bulbs 
3 to 5 inches apart. Old cow manure worked into the soil prior to planting is an excellent fertilizer 
or should this not be available, a light application of 5—8—7 fertilizer mixed in the soil under the bulbs 
will be beneficial. 
They like sunshine and a liberal supply of moisture during the hot Summer months.
