Prices are for one bulb. Multiply by 10 for the price of one doz. 6 at doz. rate. 100 
cost 70 times the cost of one or 7 times the cost of one dozen. In the following list we have 
added a number of the very latest sorts that you will all want to try. 
Burma. Heavily ruffled, deep rose red. L. 8c. 
Capeheart. Early, salmon rose. L. 6c. | ' 
Elizabeth The Queen. Deeply ruffled, large flowers. Many consider it the most beau- 
tiful gladiolus. L. 10c. 
Ethel Cave Cole. Florists favorite light pink. Large flowers, early and near perfect. 
L. 6c. No. 1 and Jumbos for 8c. They are a little earlier. 
Evangeline. Palmer origination, (Greta Garbo x Elizabeth The Queen). Ruffled, light

June Bells. Tall, ruffled white, early. 15c. 
Los Angeles. An old timer, once the popular cut flower in this market. Useful in 
landscape because of profusion of flowers. I have seen as many as 100 from one bulb., 
due to numerous side branches. Plant 6” apart and water freely for best performance. A 
good winter forcer in greenhouse. L. 6c.

Spic and Span. Ruffled deep pink. Very vigorous and even bulblets give nice spikes 
for cutting. L. 20c. 
White Gold. The largest, tallest, early creamy white. The only criticism I’ve heard 
is, ‘too large.” It’s a one spike bouquet. L. 8c. Jumbo, 12c.

high priced along with “‘lost labels” etc. No. 1 and Jumbo bulbs, 75c doz., L. 60c doz. Nos.

Please note. Increased cost of postage almost or even entirely takes all profit out of 
largest sizes of Gladiolus at our prices. On orders to go beyond 4th zone we can include 
larger sizes if by express, f.o.b. Most dealers do not prepay transportation. We do, with 
exceptions noted in catalog. 
Gladiolus Nanus, Baby Glads. In the deep south these are winter or very early spring 
growers and flower long before the large type. -“The small, exquisite flowers are most 
desirable for bouquets or any florists’ use. Altho higher in price, they multiply rapidly 
and one can soon have a good stock. They may also be grown from seed and may be 
crossed to produce new sorts. In the north they may be grown in pots in a cool room 
in plenty of sunlight. 18” to 30” tall. In the south they may be planted in Nov. or later. 
In mild sections of the north, plant in very early spring but buy your bulbs in the fall and 
store at 40°. They do well in pots and are easy to force. 4 or 5 can go in a 6” pot. 
G. byzantinus. A species. We have been listing this as Foster's Purple because Mrs. 
Foster, long ago, grew it near here. It is a vivid purple and a winter grower here but best 
of all, it is hardy in the north and does not have to be dug in the fall. Plant these for extra 
early fls. 35c ea. $3.00 per doz. 
The Bride, pure white. 25c ea. 
Assorted varieties. These include such named var. as Charm, The Bride, etc. 15c ea. 
$1.50 doz.
