t For gay orchid-like blossoms, brilliant hues, delicate blend- 
ings of color tone, the Gladiolus is beyond compare. And, of 
course, there is no better flower for cutting. We offer a mixture 
of bulbs blended from the better garden varieties, most of them 
grown separately under name on our own Nursery. Included 
are such kinds as Rose van Lima, Pelegrina, Gold Dust, Mar- 
garet Beaton, King Lear, Snow Princess, Minuet, Buckeye, 
Bronze, Bagdad, Rewi Fallu, Corona and the like, through 
the wide and glorious range of Gladiolus colorings. Bulbs will 
all be of a size that will give you big and splendid spikes of 
bloom, running mostly from one to two inch diameters accord- 
ing to kind, since some sorts naturally make larger bulbs
