Hunter’s Prize Winning Collection of 
Florists’ Favorite Gladiolus 
1941 marks the 24th year that I have been growing Gladiolus. In thes %@ years over-two 
thousand varieties have come under my personal observation and many<of these have 
been thoroughly tested. While all Gladiolus are beautiful, 
those florists“and growers 
who make money must plant profitable, money-making varieties. When you force a 
Gladiolus bulb, you want the maximum percentage of salable bloom. You, want colors. 
you can use and flowers that will stand some handling. You must have varieties that 
will pay out over and above production costs when the flowers are sold. With, these 
points in mind and with a background of twenty-four years’ actual growing and’ working 
with the Gladiolus, I am pleased to present to the florists of America a representative 
collection of useful, prize winning, commercial Gladiolus.
