THE WORLD FAMOUS 
GOLD MEDAL WINNER 
This variety is the most outstanding Gla- YS 
diolus introduced in the past decade and the 2 Si 
most popular and best known sort of the day. 
PICARDY literally took the Gladiolus world by 
storm with its advent. It was awarded First 
Prize at the Chicago ‘Century of Progress’’ 
Exposition and it also ran away with the Blue 
Ribbon at the 1935 National Flower Show. Its 
wondrously brilliant flowers are slightly ruffled, 
very large in size, and waxlike in appearance. The color is a magnificent clear shrimp-pink, 
PICARDY has been variously described as ‘glorious,’ ‘“amazing,’’ and “magnificent.”” This 
great Gladiolus has clearly merited every bit of its great and lasting popularity. In 1935, 
PICARDY bulbs sold at 25 cents each or $16. for 100 bulbs. As production increased the 
stock available for distribution, and they have become more plentiful, they are now priced 
easily within the reach of every purse. 
30 bulbs for only $1.10 60 For $2. 
Strikingly Beautiful 
GRINA BLUE Gladiolus 
isone~ ofthe richest of all Gladiolus in coloring; a rich, dep violet- 
bl it is a rare beauty indeed. There are never nearly enough BLUE flowers in our 
gardens and PELEGRINA therefore is exceptionally desirable in any garden. They are sure to 
add class and distinction to any planting. The large flowers of PELEGRINA always prove a 
perfect delight. We think this can be accounted the best BLUE in the Gladiolus nomenclature 
and, best of all, the bulbs are obtainable at a reasonable outlay. 
25 bulbs for only $1.10 50 For $2. 100 — $3.75 
EVELYN KIRTLAND. usta 
Concerning this amazing Gladiolus our picture, we think, will tell you more than mere 
words; several spikes of EVELYN KIRTLAND in the arms of the young lady clearly showing 
what a remarkable flower we really have here. Gorgeous spikes of bloom far taller than she 
who seems to gaze in wonder and appreciation. 
Our picture however gives you no hint whatsoever as to the coloring in this marvelous 
flower. You really need to see it in bloom to get the real appreciation of rare beauty and 
perfect charm. 
The wonderful blending of pink tints in the large open flowers is a revealing marvel of 
nature so that we cannot adequately describe it acceptably; it must be seen to be fully appreci- 
ated as it is entitled to be. You will make no mistake in planting some EVELYN KIRTLAND; 
you will make a mistake if you don’t. 
20 bulbs for $1.10 40 for $2.
