GENERAL LIST OF GLADIOLUS 
All our bulbs are plump, healthy, and both large and medium bulbs are of blooming size. Small bulbs 
usually produce blooms late in the season. Bulblets seldom bloom the first year, and a percentage of 
these baby" bulbs always fails to germinate—the rest grow into bulbs, mostly small. 
Large bulbs always produce the finest exhibition spikes, and sometimes throw several spikes to the 
bulb. Medium sized bulbs give excellent spikes, particularly when planted early in the season. Small 
sized bulbs seldom give much more than a very short spike, but produce large bulbs for the following 
season. Bulblets seldom flower, but grow into bulbs, mostly of small size. 
Large bulbs are 11/4 inches in diameter or over; medium are 1 inch to 1! inches; and small bulbs are 
Vz to 34 inch. L = large, M. == medium, S. — small. When the size is not noted, large size is implied. 
For special collections see pages 5 and 14. 
The 3-6-12-25 prices are applicable to one individual variety, not to different ones priced alike— 
no quantity less than 50 at the hundred rate, and no smaller quantities than those listed.
