GLADIOLUS 
FROM OUR LONG ISLAND FARMS 
There is a vast difference in the quality of Gladiolus bulbs that is not apparent 
by an examination of the dry bulbs and one must be familiar with the conditions 
under which they are grown before determinations can be made of the performing 
value. Our bulbs—for instance—are all grown from young stock which is a very im¬ 
portant factor in the developing of high crown bulbs. We also treat every bulb before 
planting which keep the stocks healthy and stimulates the growth. Furthermore we do 
not cut any flowers whatever (except to remove the seeding pods) and this has a 
twofold advantage in that it permits the new bulbs to gain full maturing advantage 
of the whole plant and enables us to check up and rogue out any bulbs that may 
be mixed. 
Such quality, plus reasonable prices and a well balanced list of varieties of proven 
merit, accounts for our rapidly increasing Gladiolus business.
