PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
All of our bulbs are first size and free from disease and thrips. 
Gladiolus on early seed orders may be sent separately at a later date. 
All bulbs except in 500 and 1000 lots, are sent postpaid. 
Planting directions sent with each order. 
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 consistent prize winners at shows. They make 
a brilliant display in the garden during August and September and there are no finer flowers 
for cutting. 
Gladiolus Thrips 
These tiny insects haye become serious pests in many areas causing deformed 
flowers and blighted leaves. Although our bulbs are absolutely free of thrips your 
plants may become infected during the summer. They can, however, be controlled by 
weekly spraying. With each order we send complete instructions for con- 
trolling thrip.
