Cowee’s Superb Gladiolus 
These superb flowers, fully as beautiful in their colorings 
as delicate orchids, can be grown in your garden — and in 
everyone’s garden -where you may see the glorious blooms 
open from day to day. No other plant compares with the 
Gladiolus for cutting and house decoration, for the very 
last bud on the stem will open into a flower fully as beautiful 
as the first bloom that appeared. 
Cowee’s 
$3.00 Collection 
An assortment of the most 
exquisitely colored varieties 
in my list. I can tell you 
the colors, but you will never 
know the marvelous beauty 
until you see them bloom in 
your garden. Afterglow, 
salmon-fawn; Excelsa, rose- 
pink, and white; LaCordaire, 
scarlet-vermilion; Daytona, 
mauve; Lavendula, pale 
lavender; Peach-blow, deli¬ 
cate pink. 
Six Varieties (one bulb of 
each) postpaid for $3.00. 
My New Booklet 
“The Garden of My Heart” 
was written by a friend who loves the Gladiolus as I do. It shows 
some of my Gladioli in their natural colors, and tells of their beauty 
in an extremely interesting way. You may have a copy of this book¬ 
let free if you will send me your name and address. 
Write today, for I have only a few copies for general distribution.
