The World Famous 
Cosmopolitan Introductions 
On the opposite page you will 
find photos of my five introduc- 
tions. I feel confident that no 
other five introductions from one 
source will ever equal the show 
record established by these won- 
derful varieties. Not only that but 
they also rank among the very 
top in all symposiums and ap- 
praisals of favorite glads. 
Last year I offered a collection 
of these world famous glads for 
$3.00. This year I will again make 
the offer except that King David 
and Bridal Orchid will be large 
bulbs rather than small size. 
Here it is: 
$3.00 SPECIAL 
A choice collection of Cosmopolitan’s 
famous introductions, all rated as 
among the world’s finest glads. 1 
select, large King David, 1 large 
Bridal Orchid, 3 small Hearts Desire,

mercial and exhibition gladiolus, 
plus 50 smalls of fine mixed varieties. 
These will all bloom the first year 
if given care and attention.

Many, many people purchased

Graff, 1953 
When the Central International 
show was held at Madison in 1950, 
one of the best second day spikes 
in the show was this seedling. So 
agreed many of the experts who 
carefully appraised it. 
Personally I believe it is a finer 
glad than Gold. Color may be a 
trifle lighter, but it will produce 
longer flower heads and more 
open florets. Very nice ruffling, 
size 5 inches, five to six open of 
18 buds, nice long spikes. It is 
another seedling from Orange 
Gold. Healthy, bulblet production 
and germination excellent. This is 
going to be one of our very best 
yellows, so make an early start 
with it. A bargain at this price. 
Med. and Sm. sizes only, $2.00 each. 
Bts. 10 for $2.00
