when out of a variety we send another as nearly like it as possible and of 
equal or greater value. If you do not approve this, request no substitution. 
In the following list we quote L., M., and S. size. All sizes give good 
flowers under good and correct culture but the smaller sizes do not make 
quite as long stems as the larger and they flower later. Thus you may plant 
all three sizes at the same time and have continuous bloom for several weeks. 
Last year, by planting all sizes at four intervals we had continuous bloom 
from April to October and a few were even later. 
These are all top quality new varieties that we consider the best in their 
color. We have a large stock and we are making the prices lower on most 
of them than any one else. You can have a lot of Glads for a little money. 
Burma. Large, very deep rose, deeply ruffled. Very many flowers open 
at one time. One of the most beautiful. 20c each. 
Capehart. Light salmon rose. 6 to 8 open. Early commercial cut flower. 
6c ea. 60c doz. Per 100, $5.00. 500 for $20.00. $35.00 per 1,000. M. 45c doz. $2.00 
per 100. S. 25c doz. 100 for $1.00. Bbts. % pt. $1.00. 
Chaumony. Beautiful, bright rose with silver edge. Much like beautiful 
Oregon Rose, which is a weak sort here. But Chaumony is a good grower. 
10c ea. $1.00 doz. 
Ethel Cave Cole. Very large soft pink flowers, as many as 10 open at 
one time. In any flower market this, when offered, is the favorite of florists. 
A little better than Capeheart but a few days later. L. 6c ea. 60c doz. Per 100, 
$4.75. Per 500, $20.00. Per 1,000, $35.00. M. 45c doz. 100 for $2.00. S. 30c doz. 
100 for $1.00. Bbts. % pt. $1.00. 
Golden State. Said to be everything desired in a yellow glad. Introduced 
as a yellow Picardy. Sizes No. 2 and No. 3, 50c ea. 
H. B. Pitt. Immense orange pink blending to deep cream throat. An expert 
says he likes it better than Picardy and it does not have Picardy’s fault,— 
looseness in the calyx. Strong healthy grower, rapid multiplier. You can win 
in the show with it. Large, No. 1 bulbs 35c ea. No. 2 and 3, 25c ea. 
Los Angeles. Now chiefly grown in greenhouse or in very mild climates 
for winter flowers as it likes cool weather and is not good in hot weather. Very 
vigorous. I’ve seen 100 flowers produced from one large bulb. To do its best 
plant 6” apart and give much water. A prominent professor of floriculture 
advises using it in breeding because of its strong, hardy nature and fine color. 
5e ea. 50c doz. $3.50 per 100. 
Margaret Beaton. Large white with scarlet throat. Standard cut flower 
sort. L. 6c ea. 60c doz. Per 100 $4.75, M. 45c doz. 100 for $2.00. S. 25c doz. 100 
for $1.00. Bbts. % pt., $1.00 
Mother Kadel. One of the finest pure yellows. 8c each. 80c doz. 
Pacifica, very early, tall large white, much used by florists. Healthy and 
easy to grow. 7c ea. 65c doz. Per 100, $5.00. M. 45c doz., Per 100, $2.00. S. 30c 
doz., Per 100, $1.00. Bbts. % pt. $1.00. 
Red Charm. Rightly named, a charming red of pure color, no markings. 
An outstanding exhibition and commercial flower. 10c ea., $1.00 doz. 
Red Unknown. Fine vivid color, tall spikes and very early. The label was 
lost but it is so good and sells so well as a cut flower that we continue to 
propagate it. Because unnamed we price it low. L. 7c ea. 65c doz. $5.00 per 100. 
M. 45c doz. 100 for $2.00. S. 30c doz. 100 for $1.00. Bbts. % pt. $1.00. 
Snow Cruiser. Pure white, 7” flowers. Up to 6 ft. tall. I don’t believe I’ve 
seen a larger Gladiolus. Propagates rapidly and even bulblets bloom. This is 
new and still high priced, but valuable to breeders and those who exhibit at 
shows. L. 90c ea. M. 75c. 
Snow Princess. Usually accepted as the best pure white commercial glad- 
iolus. 8c ea. 75c doz. 
Yellow Perfection. Tall, medium yellow. 7c ea. 70c doz. 
Assorted Varieties. This is an accidental mixture and thus not a balanced 
mixture. For the same reason it may contain anything. Sizes 1, 2 and 3, 5c ea. 
50c doz. $7.00 per 100. $25.00 per 1000. 
Breeding Gladiolus. Many an amateur has produced a new variety of high 
merit, that has won show prizes and become popular. Some have even broken 
into the business of growing in this way. But anyway, its fun and fun is fun-
