Bridal Bouquets made from Individual Florets of Gladiolus 
These bridal bouquets show one of the many uses for gladiolus, not so 
widely seen, as should be the case. However, the more progressive florists are 
using the individual gladiolus florets in their work much more each season. 
These artistic bouquets were originated in the shop of Frank Buffinton, Fall 
River, and the varieties used were Surfside and Thistle Dew. We believe 
that if the public could realize more fully the wide uses for gladiolus in 
florists’ work, when the florets are used individually in addition to their use 
as complete spikes, it would increase the demand for our wonderful flower.
