A HOBBY WITHIN A HOBBY 
Addressed To All Gardeners 
Who Are Not Yet Glad Fans: 
What greater thrill can there be than the joy of watching your planting develop 
into sturdy plants and then the miracle of beautiful blooms that follows? And what 
greater pleasure than to have your own beautiful flowers to send to a friend, or to 
bring color and beauty into the house—something produced by your own work and 
with no bills from the florist? No flower grown is more suitable for this purpose 
than Gladiolus with their gorgeous colors and ideal form. 
Those of you garden hobbyists who don’t know Gladiolus well, have a grand 
opportunity to develop 'A Hobby within a Hobby. Gladiolus are easy to grow 
and pay a thousandfold for the minimum of care and attention. Every garden 
enthusiast should devote some part of his garden to them. 
There is one "danger,” and it is only fair to warn you of it. Gladolius grow and 
grow on you to the point where you will be as rabid a fan as the best of them 
or should we say, "the worst” of them. 
Last, but not least, this is a hobby and like no other it can be made not only to pay 
its way, but to show a substantial profit from the sale of cut-flowers as well as 
give you the pleasure and satisfaction of growing them and seeing them unfold 
their glorious bloom. 
Why not try some Gladiolus this season ?
