 Burpee’s GLADIOLUS BULBS 
Burpee’s famous gladiolus are grown and admired wherever beautiful flowers are known. They make attractive displays in the garden, 
planted either in beds or in groups here and there in perennial or annual borders and are ideal for house decoration. If the spikes are cut 
when the bottom flower shows color, all the buds, clear to the top, will open. Gladiolus are easily grown in any good, well-drained soil. 
} All bulbs, except the medium sized ones of Burpee’s Special Mixture, page 120, are large, 144 in. and more across; all Burpee bulbs are 
guaranteed to bloom or your money back. See the Burpee guarantee, page 1. We offer an extra choice selection of named varieties. 
Cultural directions are printed on every bag containing the bulbs. See next page for other gladiolus varieties.
