For late summer cut flowers nothing equals gladiolus 

“Your gladiolus and asters are very fine even 
with the bad wet weather so long. Am sure you 
would be proud of them.” 
Mrs. H. Fox, New Rochelle, N. Y., Aug. 23, 1945.

Haris Gladiolus 
FIRST SIZE BULBS 
From the thousands of gladiolus varieties being offered today, we have picked 
those which we consider the very finest in their class. In each group you will 
find the whole range of colors from white to deepest reds. Most of them are con- 
sistent prize winners at shows. 
They make a brilliant display in the garden during August and September 
and there are no finer flowers for cutting. 
All of our bulbs are first size and free from disease and thrips. 
All bulbs, except in 500 and 1,000 lots, are sent prepaid. 
Planting directions sent with each order.

are leaders in their color class and to date no finer varieties have been produced.
