The First All American Gladiolus Selection 
[ am very proud to be one of the Board of Governors of the All-American 
Gladiolus Selections. During this past season members of this board conducted 
trials for 29 choice new seedlings, one of which will win the coveted award 
of the first All-American Selection. 
If sufficient stock of the first choice is 
available by the fall of 1954, the new selection will be made available to 
the public and will be featured in this catalogue. So be sure to watch for 
it, and send your orders promptly as it is anticipated that the demand for 
the first year will be far greater than the supply.
