NEW FRAGRANT GLADIOLUS 
“SWEET AND LOVELY” 
The first fragrant Gladiolus that has the height and size of other fine 
Gladiolus and will grow and flower right out in the open in your garden. 
All other fragrant Gladiolus are small and grow on short weak stems and 
are suitable only for growing in a hothouse, but “SWEET AND LOVELY” 
is just as hardy out-of-doors as any other Gladiolus, and requires the same 
treatment as your other Gladiolus. The flowers are a most delightful saf¬ 
fron color, tinted orange. The individual florets are four inches wide and 
the flowering stalks are three to four feet tall. 
But the outstanding feature of this lovely new variety is its fragrance, 
for “SWEET AND LOVELY” brings us an entirely new fragrance all its 
own. It is not the overpowering fragrance of the Lily; neither is it the 
fragrance of the Rose, or the Violet, or any other flower. It is a new fra¬ 
grance, the fragrance that will be identified with the fragrant Gladiolus of 
the future, a fragrance that is delicate, subtle, yet sweet and distinct. 
The fragrance is greatest just as the flowers are opening, and in order to 
enjoy the full benefit of their sweet odor, they should be cut just as the 
buds are opening and placed in a vase of water in a quiet, fairly warm room. 
You will surely want to enjoy both the beauty and the fragrance of 
‘SWEET AND LOVELY” in your garden and in your home this summer, 
for it is equally attractive in the garden or as a cut flower.
