20 GOOD GLADIOLUS 
There have been so many good Gladiolus introduced in the past few years that it is almost impossible for any 
amateur grower to look over the list and choose the ones that will do best in his garden. 
To help you in your choice of varieties, we are describing here the 20 kinds all comparatively new that we 
consider to be the outstanding ones in their color group. Varieties that have proven themselves worthy of a spot 
in your garden. 
The bulbs we offer you are all what is known as “over-size”’; clean, free from thrip and disease, and will give 
you splendid results. 
Six bulbs are sold at the dozen rate. Single bulbs at one-tenth of the dozen rate. Prepaid 
east of the Mississippi River. To more distant states, add 5c per dozer for postage. 
After each variety name is a number. The first two numerals indicate the year of introduction. 
The last two numbers, the number of days it takes it to bloom. Thus 45-90 indicates that variety 
was introduced in 1945 and takes an average of 90 days to bloom.
