For several years Hardie’s has concentrated on handling top size bulbs only. We find that the 
large size bulbs, particularly for outside planting, grow better and bloom better. In this section of 
the United States you can start planting them in January, covering five inches, and then continu- 
ing at two-week intervals right on through May, covering a little less as the ground grows warmer. 
BEACON. One of the very tallest, and most bril- 
liant in color. This variety is well named. Eight 
florets open at once on a very long spike. Bright 
scarlet with creamy throat. Striking either as an 
individual bloom, or in a group. Mid-season. 
CHARLES DICKENS. A radiant, velvety red- 
violet ‘'Glad’’ of unusual merit. Blooms are pro- 
duced on strong five-foot spikes. 
DEBONAIR. Pink, throat marked with cream 
and lightly dusted with crimson. 
DR. F. E. BENNETT. Scarlet. Immense blooms of 
deep firey scarlet, overlaying peach red; lip 
speckled ruby and white. 

MARGARET FULTON. Early. Very pretty soft, 
medium dark salmon. Clean and distinctive 
shade. Six to eight perfectly placed medium 
size blooms open. One of the best pinks for 
early mid-season. 
ROSA VAN LIMA. Light pink. Pure self-colored 
light pink, with many flowers open at one time 
on fine, strong, straight stems. 
SNOW PRINCESS. Pure white of heavy texture. 
Early bloomer and increasing in popularity as 
a cut flower. 
YELLOW EMPEROR. A good, deep yellow. 
GOLDEN CHIMES. Clear, light yellow. This is 
the largest flower in this shade. 
BIT O’ HEAVEN. True orange with clear yellow 
throat. Opens 9-12 medium size blooms on long, 
willowy spikes. 
CORAL GLOW. Bright coral red. Large flowers 
on truly giant spikes. 
MINUET. Lavender-pink. Considered by many 
to be the last word in a light lavender Gladi- 
olus. The blooms are of beautiful, clear, light 
lavender, with 4 to 6 large, heavily textured 
blooms open at one time on a good, strong stem. 
PICARDY. Salmon-pink. The flowers are deli- 
cate apricot-pink, extremely large. The most 
popular Glad of all time. 
PELEGRINA. Darkest blue violet. Opens 6-8 
blooms on slender spikes. 
GRETA GARBO. Fine, new introduction. Well 
expanded rosy-buff blooms, tinted delicate 
pink. 
KING LEAR. A good, clear deep purple. Each 
petal has a silver line on the edge, and the 
flowers are very heavily waved and ruffled. 
MARGARET BEATON. A new Glad that will be 
sure to please you. The flowers are huge, and 
the color white with an orange-scarlet blotch. 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE. A rich cream color with a 
richer cream throat mark. It has as many as 
eight beautifully ruffled flowers open at one 
time. Lasts fine as a cut flower.
