THE GLADIOLUS 
There is a fascination in growing these flowers of unrivaled 
loveliness. 
The sword-like foliage; the tall, upright stems clothed with 
flowers of exquisite beauty; the great variety of magnificent 
colors; the ease of culture; the sureness of bloom; and the 
lasting quality when cut—all combine to make the Gladiolus 
one of our most popular flowers.
