BRECK’S GLADIOLI 
The past season’s growth has resulted in as fine a stock of Lexington-grown bulbs as could be desired. Careful 
selection from year to year has eliminated varieties that have not proved themselves satisfactory both as to form 
and color, so that the following lists may be taken as a safe guide in choosing for the home garden. A cordial in¬ 
vitation is extended to our friends to visit our grounds at Lexington during the blooming season (August and Sep¬ 
tember); to those not familiar with these wonderful flowers the striking combinations of color will be a revelation. 
Gladioli will succeed in any sunny location; the soil should be reasonably rich, though any soil which will 
grow potatoes is suitable. The best time for planting is May or June, after the ground becomes warm. Take them 
up in the Fall after the tops turn brown, and store in a dry place, cool but free from frost.
