HERE THEY ARE! The 15 varieties which, among thousands of varieties voted upon, received the Highest Votes of the 
membership of the American Gladiolus Society. In the opinion of the members of this organization THERE ARE NO FINER 
VARIETIES IN THE WORLD THAN THESE 15 VARIETIES. Ask anyone who has bought them and they will tell you how mar¬ 
velous they are. 
Pursuing my policy of offering only the best, I have assembled these 15 varieties into one superb collection and now 
offer them at prices within the reach of all. In selecting a representative group of Gladiolus for the garden, one can well 
afford to be guided by the combined judgment of 
the members of the American Gladiolus Society as 
expressed in the ballot of the National Society. 
With thousands of varieties to vote upon, Picardy 
received the largest number of votes and has been 
proclaimed The World's Finest Gladiolus; Minuet 
received the second largest number of votes; Mar¬ 
mora third, etc. The varieties that received the 15 
highest votes are listed below in the order of merit 
according to the number of votes received. 
When the membership of the American Gladiolus 
Society, consisting of the country's leading profes¬ 
sional growers, breeders and Gladiolus enthusiasts, 
give these 15 varieties the greatest number of votes, 
it is obvious that these 15 varieties are the last 
word in Gladiolus excellence. They are all of out¬ 
standing merit, large flowers, of magnificent form, 
texture and color, with many flowers open on a 
stalk at once, some of the individual florets measur¬ 
ing six to seven inches across. Each is the finest of 
its class. They carry off all the prizes wherever they 
are shown. And so, if you wish to have a collection 
of Gladiolus that will be the sensation of your 
community, either on the show bench or in the gar¬ 
den, this is your opportunity.
