SMALL FLOWERED or HOME ARRANGEMENT GLADS 
These baby Glads are the most useful of all Gladi- 
olus and are becoming very, very popular. For deco- 
rating in the home they cannot be surpassed. They 
are also useful for corsages, bridal bouquets, center- 
pieces, mantel arrangements and any place where 
lighter, more dainty material is appropriate. Garden 
Club people find these little Glads very useful. They 
are satisfactory where larger Glads might be cum- 
We have been very much impressed with the interest 
taken in the small flowered Gladiolus and with the num- 
ber of people sending in photos for the contest offered in 
last year’s catalog. Many photos were received and con- 
gratulations to Mrs. A. M. Eggen in winning the first as 
well as to the other winners. We hope that many more will 
enter this contest in 1953.

little Glads. 
bersome and out of place. 
We urge our customers to grow these in groups 
of at least 10 bulbs where possible. For arrange- 
ments of these you may need several spikes and 
one or two bulbs will not be enough. Medium size 
and even small bulbs will make exceptionally fine 
cutting material in most varieties.

GLADIOLUS DRACOCEPHALUS: A wild species and a real green Glad. The color of the 
flower is practically the same as the foliage. An oddity in shape and form, some wonder if it is 
a Glad at all. A treasured item to a home flower arranger. Stock is very rare and the quantity we
