Gladiolus for 1936 
Well folks you will notice we spell it Gladiolus. We 
are a member of the American Gladiolus Society and the 
New England Gladiolus Society and in keeping with then- 
idea of the spelling of the word, singular or plural being 
the same, there it is, But, we’re admitting Gladioli sounds 
pretty good to us. 
In presenting this small list of Gladiolus we have 
made no attempt to include the new introductions or high 
priced novelties, but are offering what we believe to be 
tested, tried and true varieties which we are using and 
selling for cut flowers both in the wholesale and retail 
market. 
We have tried to list their shortcomings as grown 
here and have endeavored to praise only those whose be¬ 
havior, as they grow for us, warrants. 
Our corms are grown in sandy soil and are as free 
from disease as we can grow them. They are mercury 
treated before planting and gassed for thrips. 
Planting and cultural directions included with each 
order. 
5 corms at the 10 price. If order amounts to $2.00 
or more 1 corm may be taken at the 10 price. 
Orders of $2.00 or more are prepaid. If less than 
$2.00 please send 15c to cover the postage.
