Selected Gladiolus 
_ FIRST QUALITY—SELECTED 
AND APPROVED BY MAX SCHLING 
Without exception there has been no garden flower which has been 
so thoroughly improved in the past decade, nor has any flower made 
such gains in popularity. It is not unusual to find varieties today with 
blooming spikes averaging well over 30 inches with individual florets 
measuring up to 6 inches in diameter. In addition to the increase in 
size, color developments have been made combining practically every 
color known to man. 
Our bulbs are plump high-crowned, guaranteed No. | size, and are 
thrip treated with DDT and thrip free. 
To assist in selecting colors, the varieties are listed under color classi- 
fications.
