“BEST-OF-THE SHOW” GLADIOLUS 
Here on this page are the world’s most beautiful 
Gladiolus. Each variety was chosen by the 
biern s Board of Selection for brilliance of color, 
length of spike and size of bloom. Every flower 
an exceptional beauty. 
Because these “Glads” are so easy to grow, 
even the beginner can win prizes at flower shows. 
In your garden, they are outstanding. In a floral 
arrangement, they add grace and color that is 
hard to equal. 
Our representatives in Europe this year have 
secured for us the largest and best of Holland's 
famous Gladiolus crop. These large bulbs will 
produce giant size spikes that friends and neigh- 
bors will envy. Best effects are obtained by plant- 
ing at intervals in April, May, June and early July 
for a succession of exquisite blooms from July 
until late fall. Don't confuse these Stern's Selected 
Specimens with ordinary “Glads.”
