CHOICE NAMED GLADIOLUS. 
The exquisite beauty of the CHOICE NAMED GLADIOLUS is not sufficiently known. Many rare varieties 
do not propagate fast enough to enable us to put them in mixtures, which is the way the majority of people 
get Gladiolus. Therefore, to induce trial of these magnificent sorts, we offer them at very low prices.
