(AT NEW REDUCED PRICES) 
This selection is arranged in conformity with the classification adopted by the Gladiolus Society. All 
varieties marked “Exhibition” are especially suitable for exhibition purposes. Varieties marked “Dec- 
orative” produce florets measuring over 3144 inches in diameter. In selecting these varieties, special 
stress is laid on their value for decorative purposes. Varieties marked “Small Flowered” produce florets 
measuring less than 31% inches across. They are especially selected for their decorative value, for use 
in bowls and for table decorations. This class includes the type previously listed as “Primulinus.” 
Varieties marked “Early” bloom in from 70-80 days. Those marked “Midseason” come into 
flower in 85-95 days, while those marked “Late” take a few days longer to bloom. 
Our contract growers of Gladioli receive an extra premium for supplying us with the “Cream 
of the Crop.” We in turn supply this exclusive superior quality to our clients at regular market prices. 
ALBATROSS. (Farly-Exhibition) A fine exhibition va- 
riety, of purest white, large flowers with 6 to 8 open at 
one time. One of the best whites. $1.10 for 10; $8.50 
per LOO. 
ABU HASSAN. (Midseason-Exhibition) A rich dark 
blue which defies competition in this color class; buds 
appear black. To those who remember the popular “Pele- 
grina”’ we wish to state that Abu Hassan excels in both 
color and growth. It is the finest dark violet blue Gladi- 
olus yet introduced. The color contrast when combined 
in a bouquet with “Mother Kadel” is very charming.
