MODERN GLADIOLUS 
Groff's Hybrid Gladiolus Mixture 
This strain of great merit has been evolved by Mr. Groff, a Canadian banker 
with scientific tendencies, who is widely known as an enthusiastic and successful 
hybridizer and grower of Gladiolus. His means enabled him to collect from 
various parts of the world perhaps the finest collection of Gladiolus ever gotten 
together. He flowered and retained the cream of these, then cross-bred and 
selected annually for over 15 years, until the present Groff strain of Hybrid 
Gladiolus is absolutely unsurpassable. The flowers are extra large, of perfect 
form, splendid substance, anti of the greatest beauty, embracing a range of 
diversified coloring with combinations of markings almost endless and undreamed 
of, insuring to purchasers of these bulbs many delightful surprises.
