Gladiolus 
This year again we are listing several small 
flowered gladiolus species and hybrids which 
will be welcomed by the grower who appreciates 
grace and charm in a flower and to whom mere 
size is not a criterion. These are all very early 
bloomers and are useful for pot culture and 
for flowering indoors. They are not troubled 
by thrips because they are thru blooming by 
the time thrips become active. Delivery Sep- 
tember thru November.

variety concolor, a straw yellow form with no
