GLADIOLUS — continued 
If you are looking for the most satisfactory flower and, at the same time, the easiest to grow, you should 
plant gladioli. There are no finer flowers for cutting, and they make a brilliant display in the garden during 
August and September. Harris’ gladiolus bulbs are free from disease and thrips, and are top size. 
Blue Ribbon Varieties 
Only by carefully checking and rechecking many of the newest and best gladiolus are we able to say, 
with confidence, that the 12 listed below are outstanding for color, length of spike, size and form of the 
individual florets and performance in the field in comparison with other varieties. The color range includes 
practically all the good colors in which gladiolus have been bred. 
BEACON—Salmon scarlet with creamy yellow throat. 
BETTY NUTHALL— Light coral with pale orange throat and light feathering of carmine. Late flowering. 
BIT OF HEAVEN—Rich shade of clear orange. Many flowers open at one time on spikes. 
J. S. BACH—Very early bright rosy scarlet. 
MARGARET BEATON—Very large pure white with a flame-scarlet-blotch. 
MINUET—One of the finest orchid lavenders. 
PARADISE— Large apricot buff shading to yellow in the throat. 
PEGGY LOU—Smooth deep shrimp pink with a slight rosy cast and a faint peppering of deeper rose in 
the throat.

REWI FALLU—Deep blood-red. Early. 
VAGABOND PRINCE—A glowing garnet brown with small scarlet-blotch in the throat. Very rich looking.
