GENERAL ALPHABETICAL INDEX of every variety in this catalog be- 
gins on page 4. It includes over 450 varieties by name and page on which 
they are described and priced—largest list of top notch gladiolus issued any- 
where, we believe. 
On pages 7-8-9 are VARIETIES BY COLOR. 
Then follows a list of groups of VARIETIES BY SPECIAL ATTRIBUTE, 
beginning on page 10, listing together, for example, earliest and latest, etc. 
Look here first if you seek a special attribute in a gladiolus; then refer to gen- 
eral alphabetical index for page on which variety is listed. 
On page 12 begins a list of BRAND NEW 1952 INTRODUCTIONS, repre- 
senting the latest successes in hybridizing by growers all over America. If 
you want the varieties your neighbor probably wont have, or ones destined 
to become famous—here’s your happy hunting ground. 
The General list begins on page 21, where we list the STANDARD REGU- 
LAR TYPE VARIETIES. They have passed the tough test of time and proved 
their universal appeal. 
Next, beginning on page 49, come descriptions of SPECIAL VARIETIES 
such as small, miniatures and special use kinds. Fragrant ones on page 52. 
Then on pages 53 to 55 we offer a number of VERY POPULAR COLLEC- 
TIONS that save you time in selecting varieties, as explained, and in return 
get remarkable values. 
QUANITY PRICES begin on page 56. 
On page 62 are brief GROWING INSTRUCTIONS AND ANSWERS TO 
QUESTIONS often asked about gladiolus (every shipment contains a more

are needed, but we give here the few basic ideas to follow. 
At the end of the catalog, beginning on page 67, are listed MISCELLANEOUS 
other products we handle for customers’ convenience, and hints on MAKING
