GLADIOLUS 
For Greenhouse and Outdoor Planting 
A favorctble growing season in many sections has resulted in the harvest of 
a large crop of Gladiolus bulbs this season. We can assure our customers 
of fine, well cured and graded bulbs; strictly up to size and true to name. 
Prices on these bulbs are now so low that there is no risk for the grower, who 
can use his own cut, and should show a profit for anyone who grows for a 
wholesale market.
