Che Best G ladtoli 
The introduction of good, new Gladioli during the past ten years has been quite remarkable. The problem of choos- 
ing the best all round kinds from so great a number of varieties is not easy. In selecting the new varieties we have 
placed ourselves in the position of our customers and ask, “What do I get for the money spent, is it worth what I pay 
for it, is it a better variety and improvement over an old one?” 
We think that the varieties offered represent good 
judgment and are in a price range that permits anyone to buy some of them. The selection of colors is complete. 
Gladioli are fool-proof; a child can grow them. The bulbs are easily stored and cared for over winter and can be 
used over and over again. For summer color in the garden or for cutting there is no other flower that equals it.
