greenhouses and not allowed to mature properly be¬ 
fore being removed. 
Neither cut flower nor forcing bulbs are suitable for 
the same uses again and are offered on the market 
very cheap. Unscrupulous dealers offer these to the 
public as new bulbs and disappointment always re¬ 
sults. 
Buy your bulbs from reliable growers and seeds¬ 
men. 
Blooming Time 
After each variety in our list, we have placed the 
average time required to bloom from planting date. 
These dates are only approximate, as much depends 
on the location and the season the bulbs are planted. 
Longer time should be given early in the season while 
later, when growing conditions are perfect, less time 
may be allowed. Thus, BREAK O’ DAY might 
require 80 to 85 days early in the spring and about 
65 to 70 days later on in the summer. We are in¬ 
debted to the Gladiolus Review, February, 1933 is¬ 
sue, for most of these dates. 
Description of Varieties 
We are listing the glads we offer in alphabetical 
order to make them easier to find. After each glad

that three bulbs can be had for double the price of
