Kennedy Kwality Grhibition Gladiolus ‘Wali? 
Until the war years we revised and improved our list of Gladiolus each year to include the best variety in its color class 
regardless of price. Subsequently, the price was reduced as quantities were available. Some varieties, as Picardy, never en- 
tirely lost their positions as leaders for years. 
With labor available and flower shows scheduled again, we have resumed our policy to add, eliminate, and generally revise 
our list annually. 
We suggest that you select a few of the newer ones. Watch and compare them in your own garden, and know them next 
year at reduced prices. 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting stock for years our Gladioli have always been free from thrip. As an added 
Perea and to be sure that bulbs supplied by us are absolutely free from this pest, we will also scientifically treat our 
ulbs again before shipment is made to our customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip iives in the soil, as well as on the bulbs in storage, through the winter, it is imperative that our bulbs 
be planted on soil where Gladioli were not grown last year and not close to other Gladioli from other sources. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well matured, which GLADIOLUS, Barcarolle 
is absolutely essential for producing exhibition flowers.
