Gladioli have 
RUFFLES! 
Although many of Diener’s creations 
in Gladioli have become bywords for 
highest Gladiolus achievements among 
even the most critical judges, Richard 
Diener has said little about his work 
with the ruffled type. Yet among them 
we count three that for size of flower 
and spike, for dependable blooming 
qualities and all other desirable char¬ 
acteristics, rule supreme in their class.

Glads for Connoisseurs.
