The Glory of the Garden : The Modern Gladiolus 
COWEE S SUPERB COLLECTIONS OF THE 
WORLD S BEST NAMED GLADIOLI 
T HESE collections are my conception of what is most typical and best of the various 
classes of this flower. I have yet to find varieties which can surpass those named in the 
different groups. My one object has been to make each collection the very best value for 
the price. All my bulbs are selected with the utmost care — none but clean, sound bulbs go 
out from Meadowvale Farms. 
EVERYBODY'S INTRODUCTORY COLLECTION 
I have called the Gladiolus “Everybody’s Flower.” I want everybody to know it for what it is. 
In making “Everybody’s Introductory Collection,” I have selected twelve named varieties, which I 
believe will be fairly typical of the different classes of Gladioli. I have made many splendid offers in 
the past, but I think this one is by far the best offer of Gladioli ever made in America. Postpaid, one 
bulb of each, 75 cts.

PEACE IS A WONDERFUL 
BLOOMER 
Tbe bulbs of Peace I purchased from 
you for my place in New Hampshire 
bloomed beautijully. They were planted 
about June 1, and tbe first one was in 
bloom a Jew days bejore September 1. 
Tbe plants were very robust, with foliage 
perfect to tbe very tips. Individual flow¬ 
ers were 5% inches across. They at¬ 
tracted a great deal of attention. — E.P.
