Without exception there has been no garden flower which has been so thoroughly and 
consistently improved in the past decade as the Gladiolus. 
It is within the memory of 
almost every Gladiolus lover when a spike measuring 12 inches of bloom with the blooms 
averaging 2 inches in diameter was considered the last word in Gladiolus blooms. Today 
it is not unusual to find varieties with blooming spikes averaging well over 30 inches 
with individual florets up to 6 inches in diameter. 
In addition to the increase in size, 
color developments have been made combining practically every color known to man in 
a wealth of selection embodying two-tone and solid colors. 
Schling’s approved Gladiolus as listed are a top selection made by experts. It will be 
noted that a great many of our varieties have been listed by eminent Gladiolus Societies as 
the best in their color class. We warrant that our bulbs are plump, over-sized grading, 
thrip-treated and thrip-free.
