THE SMALL DECORATIVE VARIETIES. 
Most of the great shows now feature “Artistic Arrangements” and 
for this purpose nothing will compare with the small decorative types of 
gladiolus. The tips are especially beautiful right up to the very last 
bloom. 
All the varieties in this list will average about inch blooms except 
where otherwise noted. 
Most of the small decoratives are early blooming and if wanted for 
the shows must be planted a little later than the larger varieties. If 
wanted on a certain date it is well to make three plantings about ten days 
apart. 
The size of bulbs sent will be those that I think will give you the best 
results and will be 1 *4 inch up on most varieties but there are some varie¬ 
ties that make only a small bulb and on such the best bulb that grows 
will be sent. 
One dozen bulbs of any one variety at ten times the single price. 
For larger quantities or special sizes, ask for quotations.
