If you wish to win the color classes for small decoratives in your 
show you had better try these varieties. 
At th^ Boston show the beautiful artistic display set up by Alger H. 
Smith not in competition but which received a special medal was com¬ 
posed entirely of Brown’s originations. 
You will note that my list is unique in that it gives the approximate 
size of the blooms of every variety listed. '

The New England Gladiolus Society at the Boston show lists 30 
classes for Small Decoratives of which you will note that I won 24 classes 
with firsts and was second in one other making 25 of the 30 won. In ad¬ 
dition I won both first and second in 12 cases. 
I claim to have the only complete assortment of all colors and shades 
to cover every class in the show and in most cases have two or more 
varieties good enough to win. 
In the artistic displays and arrangements my varieties were prominent 
as they are unexcelled for dainty unusual arrangements for practical use 
in the home. 
I hope this will be my last list as being 75 now I feel that 1 must let 
others carry on the work so if you wish to buy stock of these varieties 
this is the time to do it. You can buy the entire stock and control of one 
or more varieties or as much as you wish.
