ARTHUR KOERNER'S MINIATURE GLADIOLUS 
100 Class ans Kiel = Ace, ea 
These are different from other glads, dainty and decorative. 
I hesitate to comment as am not a good arrangements man but 
feel sure you must have 4-6 blooms of each color to make a show 
inge Sizes sometimes run nearer to 22-3 inches which is larger 
than they are supposed to goe A single flower does not look lile 
much but in arrangements you get grand effects if you have plen- 
ty of blooms. These glads divide and increase 200 to 300 percent , 
every year and so your stook will grow faste
