TWENTY of the VERY BEST GLADIOLUS 
So wonderful have been the improvements in this most popular garden flower during the past few years that we have omitted the old varieties 
from our list and described only these new kinds. Gladiolus are easier to grow than any other flower we know. They are never bothered with 
bugs, no disease spoils them—all they require is ordinary garden soil, water when it is dry, and they will thrive and bloom profusely. 
_ If you want a superb showing of Gladiolus in your garden, plant the bulbs in groups of six 
eight, or twelve of a kind. As a background for annuals and perennials, and among shrubs 
and evergreens, the effect will be most pleasing. 
All our bulbs are over-size, clean, free from thrip or disease, and will give you excellent 
results. We furnish 6 bulbs at the dozen rate. By mail or express, prepaid east of the 
Mississippi River; to more distant points, add 5c per dozen.
