GLADIOLUS 
For Greenhouse and Outdoor Planting 
Fine, well cured and graded bulbs. Strictly up to size and true to name. Lack of fall rains in some sections has cut 
down the quantity of first size bulbs and some varieties are already scarce and advancing in price. Our prices are 
therefore quoted subject to change.

Picardy 
Probably the best Gladiolus of recent in¬ 
troduction and certainly the most popular. 
Color is a delicate apricot pink, the in¬ 
dividual flowers are extremely large, 
slightly ruffled, and well arranged spike. 
Well grown spikes of this variety brought 
a premium on all cut flower markets the 
past season.
