Gladiolus 
There is no flower for spring and summer planting 
that has so lately increased in popularity as Gladiolus. 
Flowers are grown in spikes in basic colors of white, red, 
pink, yellow and blue, as well as various blends and 
shades of colors that make them so beautifully effective 
in massed plantings. During the past few years wonder¬ 
ful improvements have been made in the development 
of these beautiful colors. Those which we show are 
truly magnificent in their size and beauty.
