Groffs Gladiolus 
The “Groff” Gladiolus. 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 collec¬ 
tion 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 and now 
world-famous. One of Mr. Groff’s hobbies is to allow no unhealthy or weak- 
growing variety to remain in his fields, so that these bulbs we are offering 
will produce strong, vigorous-growing plants, with long, sturdy spikes. The 
flowers are extra large, of perfect form, splendid substance, and of the greatest 
beauty, embracing a range of diversified coloring with combinations of mark¬ 
ings almost endless and undreamed of, insuring to purchasers of these bulbs 
many delightful surprises.
