Hardy Species and Varieties 
In recent years the “hardy Glads’’ have become increasingly 
popular, particularly with those garden hobbiests interested in 
growing the unusual and the interesting. The general term as used 
includes several species and their varieties, many of which were 
originated or introduced by Van Tubergen. 
Specie Glads 
Though primarily grown for individual charm and botanical interest 
rather than great displays of color, they create a most charming effect 
when planted in clusters throughout the perennial border or along 
shrub beds. 
All are reliably hardy south of Washington, D. C., with light 
protection, and hardy in the northern states during normal winters 
when very heavily mulched. 
Plant in a well drained, sunny location, sheltered from heavy 
winds, in good porous sandy soil. Set about 3 to 4 inches deep. 
Corms are a great deal smaller than those of the large flowered 
hybrids. 
ANATOLICUS (crispiflorous). Small, dainty pink and white flowers 
set on slender stems 6 inches high. A very pretty species from Eastern 
Europe and Western Asia. 3 $.60, 12 $1.95, 25 $3.70. 
BYZANTINUS. Curved tubular deep purple flowers about 114 
inches long. The lower three blossom segments attractively etched with 
a white median line. Stems tall and graceful, 114 to 2% feet. From 
the Mediterranean region. 6 $.70, 12 $1.05, 25 $1.90. 
COLVILLE! ALBUS “THE BRIDE.”’ A fine pure white early flower- 
ing variety of the specie, with open flaring flowers and white anthers. 
Excellent for cutting. Well-known in the United States. 6 $.80, 
12 $1.20, 25 $29.95. 
COLVILLEI RUBER. Carmine-red counterpart of the above. 3$.50, 
12 $1.60, 25 $3.00. 
CUSPIDATUS. A free flowering dwarf species of clear white with 
small deep blue flakes. 6 $.80, 12 $1.20, 25 $9.95. 
GRANDIS. A lovely creamy white tinged with brown. The grace- 
fully curved tubular flowers, borne on slender arching stems up to 2 
feet in height, are deliciously fragrant and charming. An excellent 
cut flower, and rapidly becoming very popular. From the Cape region 
of South Africa. 6 $.60, 12 $.90, 25 $1.60, 100 $5.50. 
SPECIAL GLADIOLUS SPECIE OFFER: 6 each of the above 
species and varieties—36 bulbs in all ($4.90 value) $3.90 - 
Herald Gladiolus 
Always attracted by the early flowering habits of several Gladiolus 
species Which come into bloom when the large flowered garden 
hybrids are not yet in bud, Van Tubergen spent many years of difficult 
hybridization trying to obtain both large flowers and early bloom. 
The finest of their achievements so far are the dwarf or “BABY 
GLADS”’ (listed further on), and the beautiful HERALD STRAIN; 
both very worth-while additions to the garden world. 
Flowers of HERALD GLADIOLUS are large, well opened, 
brilliantly colored and elegantly placed on tall stately stalks. They 
are the earliest of all Glads, appearing even before the nanus varie- 
ties, and are especially well adapted for greenhouse forcing and 
pot culture. While completely hardy in the deep south and California, 
in the middle states and as far north as Washington, D. C., they 
should be well mulched during the winter. Experiments indicate 
they may be hardy in the north if deeply planted and heavily mulched 
so that corms are not touched by frost. 
All are planted in late autumn, with same culture as the species 
Gladiolus, though corms should be set a bit deeper if soil is light 
and well dug. Each corm produces two or three stalks in succession 
as Well as numerous side shoots. 
COMET. Forty inch spikes of deep red buds that unfold to a brilliant 
poppy-red. Very early and excellent for cutting. 6 $.80, 12 $1.20, 
25 $9.95, 100 $8.95. 
JOOST VAN DEN VONDEL. Large flowers of rich scarlet with 
pure white flakes, borne on very strong robust stalks. Height 30
