Sweet Scented — 
muriELAE GLADIOLUS 
How often have you admired the beautiful Gladiolus family and 
sighed with regret over their lack of fragrance. In the Murielae 
we are now offering a variety which produces highly scented flowers 
in late summer. The fragrance is delightfully fresh and soft yet 
insistent—just a few flowers in a vase will make themselves pleas- 
antly known throughout the entire room. The flowers are white 
with brilliant and clearly marked purple markings in the centers. 
Flower stalks are about 2 to 2% feet. These Gladiolus-like bulbs 
are somewhat higher crowned and more pointed and not quite as 
large as the ordinary Gladiolus. Culture is the same as the ordinary 
Gladiolus bulbs. In mild climates bulbs may be left in the ground 
where they will soon form good-sized clumps. In colder sections, 
dig and store as Gladiolus bulbs. Be sure and get in on this unique 
and very fragrant flower for we know they will be the envy of your 
neighbors. NOTE OFFER BELOW. 
PRICE: 4 for $1.25; 8 for $2.00; 12 for $3.00; 25 for 
$5.00. Postpaid.
