Sensational New Fragrant Gladiolus 
"Sweet and Lovely" is gaining in popularity by leaps and 
bounds, and most deservingly so, for it is a real achievement in 
Gladiolus excellence. This delightful beauty is the first fragrant 
gladiolus having the height and size of other Gladiolus. It will 
grow and flourish right out in the open in your garden with your 
other Gladiolus, with no special care. The individual florets are 
four inches wide, and the flowering stalks are three to four feet 
tall. In all the horticultural world there is nothing more beau¬ 
tiful, in my opinion, than "Sweet and Lovely" Gladiolus. The 
blending of colors and subtle tints, the perfection of form and 
poise, make it a marvel of beauty. 
But the outstanding feature of this lovely new variety is its 
fragrance, for "Sweet and Lovely" brings us an entirely new 
fragrance all its own. It is not the overpowering fragrance af 
the Lily; neither is it the fragrance of the Rose, or the Violet, 
or any other flower. It is a new fragrance, the fragrance that 
will be identified with the fragrant Gladiolus of the future, a 
fragrance that is delicate, subtle, yet sweet and distinct. The 
fragrance is greatest just as the flowers are opening, and in 
order to enjoy the full benefit of their sweet odor, they should 
be cut just as the buds are apening and placed in a vase of 
water in a quiet, fairly warm room. 
You will surely want to enjoy both the beauty and the fra¬ 
grance of "Sweet and Lavely" in your garden and in your home 
this summer, for it is equally attractive in the garden or as a cut 
flower. 
This variety is so rare and so new and sa handsome that I 
would be justified in charging a dollar a bulb for it, but I 
determined to hold the price down within the reach of all. 
20c each; 3 for 50c; 6 for 80c; 12 for $1.25; 100 for $8.00. 
All Fine, Plump, Heolthy, Flowerinf Size Bulbs.
