GLADIOLUS—New and Standard Varieties 
Gladiolus need no introduction. They are uni' 
versally appreciated as one of the most useful and 
satisfactory of all summer flowering plants for gar¬ 
den display and for cutting. By starting some bulbs 
early in April after danger of severe frost is past and 
making successive plantings at intervals of about 10 
days until early July, gorgeous blooms may be had 
from June until October. 
Our bulbs are all of the largest size. They are 
free from disease and infestation.
