A.S. & L., Gladiolus Bulbs 
In every garden gladioli should be grown. Most beautiful of summer flowers, 
they are at the same time the easiest to grow. As a border for the vegetable plot, 
or planted in a row beside the vegetables, they will thrive under the same cultiva- 
tion and not only decorate the garden, but provide beautiful cut flowers for the 
home, or other purposes. 
You will find our list thoroughly up-to-date with 
prices very low for the quality and varieties offered. 
Our named varieties are all Ist size, thrip-free 
bulbs. It is always safe, however, to treat the bulbs 
with Semesan (see page 42), before planting to 
avoid contamination.
