2 GONATANTHUS PUMILUS—w. A rare, tuberous rooted 
plant for pot culture. Elongated, cordate leaves, dark green 
above, red-violet below. Sweetly fragrant golden flowers that 
remind of narrower, longer Calla blooms. An attractive, and 
unusual plant. Pkt. 35c. 
3 THE GLADIOLUS GARDEN 
_ 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 mix- 
ture of bulbs blended from the better garden varieties, most 
of them grown separately under name. Only the finer large- 
flowered varieties are used. Wonderful for either garden dis- 
play or cutting. Bulb sizes run from one inch up diameter. 
Order as GLADIOLUS GARDEN BLEND—10 bulbs for 70c; 
25 for $1.35; 100 for $5.25; 250 for $12.00. 
GLADIOLUS SEEDS—Gladioli may be grown quite readily 
from seeds sown in early spring while soil is still cool. Seed- 
lings often bloom second summer. GLADIOLUS PEERLESS 
BLEND—Seeds saved from fine, named garden varieties. 
Should show many interesting and beautiful variations. Tech- 
nically, each seedling will be a new variety. Some of them 
are likely to be good enough so you will want to give them 
names and propagate them separately. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 
50c. GLADIOLUS PSITTACINUS—tThe Parrot Lily of South 
Africa. It will reach 5 feet of height, carrying 14 to 20 large 
blossoms of brilliant scarlet with orange lip. An autumn 
bloomer. 7 seeds for 25c. GLADIOLUS TRISTIS—Flowers of 
soft cream, often with brown-purple flushings. Delightfully 
fragrant after dusk. Perhaps best grown in pots. Pkts. 25c; 
3 pkts. for 70c. 
3 GLORIOSA 
The Glory Lilies grow with 
fair ease from seeds sown in 
spring in open ground beds. 
In autumn, dig the tubers and 
store them over winter in sand 
and in a cool cellar. Two-year-old 
tubers will bloom. May be treated 
either as a summer garden bulb, 
Gladiolus fashion, or it may be grown 
as a pot plant. 
GLORIOSA SUPERBA—And it is truly superb, an altogether 
beautiful species. The petals are recurved, as shown in the 
illustration, the edges much crisped and undulate. Blossom 
colorings include many shades, tones and combinations of 
soft yellow to orange, with varied rosy or rich reds. Not at 
all difficult from seeds. The seeds may be sown under glass 
at any time of year, or in open ground seed beds in mid-spring. 
Pkt. 25c; 14 oz. 85c; 4 oz. $1.50. 
GLORIOSA ROTHSCHILDIANA—Here the petals are a little 
wider than in G. superba, pleasingly undulate but not crisped, 
nor as far recurved. The proportion of reds to yellows is 
greater than in Superba, and there are ruby tones that are 
unique to this species. The species are different enough so 
that it is good to have both. We could not honestly rank either 
as the better. Tubers only, each $1.15; 3 for $3.25. 
LITTONIA MODESTA—A cousin of Gloriosa, but lower, and 
with bell-shaped blossoms of radiant golden orange. Sub-erect. 
Fine for pot culture, or it will bloom freely in the garden, 
the tubers then being dug in autumn, and given frost-proof 
winter storage. “‘w’’ culture. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c.
