Gladioli such as these are the envy of every garden 
lover. By buying choice bulbs you are most certain 
of success. The photograph below shows the beauti¬ 
ful effect which can be produced by a massed plant¬ 
ing of about 150 of our fine bulbs. 
Blue Ribbon Gladioli 
Gladioli are admired by everybody because they are so effective in gardens 
and so beautiful and useful as cut flowers. They may be planted for a massed 
effect in a flower bed, or used among perennials, or around a pool, in the 
rock garden, in borders along walks or elsewhere. By planting the bulbs at 
two-week intervals from mid-April until the end of June, flowers can be had 
from June until October. The varieties we list are some of the most desirable 
Gladioli now being sold. All are of exceptional quality. Our bulbs are the 
largest size and free from disease and infestation. You will be well pleased 
with our Gladioli, and stand a mighty good chance to win a Blue Ribbon in 
your local exhibits. (Instructions for planting and care of bulbs furnished 
with each order shipped.)
