GLADIOLUS 
All bulbs that we offer this year are healthy, large size first grade only, of blooming size. Large bulbs al- 
ways produce the finest exhibition spikes, and sometimes throw several spikes to the bulb. While we have 
in the past offered some smaller bulbs, we will have only top grade this year. 
Because so many small bulbs were sold last year, the supply of top grade bulbs throughout the country will be 
scarce, so please place your order early. Eastern customers can specify time they prefer delivery and bulbs will 
be held until then. We generally start shipping Gladiolus about the first of January and we can ship right 
through until June. 
VARIETIES 
These varieties generally produce unusually large flow-

aily large, the flowers are in no way coarse, and make 
unusual cut specimens. Plant some of these newer kinds 
and compare them with the older standbys.
