Schling f (Approved Gladio Ws 
NOT PLENTIFUL THIS YEAR—ORDER EARLY 
POSTPAID TO SECOND POSTAL ZONE ONLY 
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. 
Our bulbs are plump, high crown, guaranteed No. 1 size, and are thrip treated and 
thrip free. (See cultural notes on page 52.)

Schling’s Rainbow Mixture 
of Hand Selected Exhibition 
Varieties 
This mixture is not to be confused 
with ordinary field or cheap mixtures. 
Our growers compound this mixture of 
varieties, many of which are worth con- 
siderably more than our best named 
varieties. There are many varieties that 
are grown for trial, and many seedlings 
which are discarded because they do not 
represent too much of an advance over 
existing varieties although they are of 
higher quality than a great many out- 
standing introductions of a decade ago. 
This mixture, therefore, is truly an ex- 
hibition mixture. Price: 25 for $2.25; 
$8.00 per 100.
