NEW HYBRID GLADIOLI 
Groff’s Seedlings 
Visitors at the Pan-American Exhibition at Buffalo, summer of 1901, were 
attracted by a large collection of this new strain, and exclamations of wonder 
and admiration were heard on all sides. They are certainly grand additions to 
the Gladiolus family, and should be in the garden of every lover of this flower. 
They are so unlike any of the older sorts, that we find it difficult to describe 
them briefly; they must be seen to be appreciated. Years have been spent in 
selecting and perfecting this strain, and we are pleased to be able to offer them 
to our friends at a moderate price. 
Each, 5 cents; dozen, 50 cents ; hundred, $3.50, charges prepaid.
