General List of Gladiolus 
(Small, miniature, and fragrant varieties begin on page 40.) 
HOW TO READ PRICES, COLOR, SEASON, ETC. 
At the end of the description of each variety appear prices for large (L), medium 
(M), and small (S) bulbs, plus bulblets (B). In most cases the letter has only one price 
after it, meaning that that is the price for one bulb of that size and variety. For in- 
stance, under Ace of Spades appears L .60, M .40, S .25, B 6/.25,25/.75. This means 
that one large bulb costs 60 cents, a medium bulb 40 cents and a small bulb 25 cents, 
Also that bulblets cost 6 for 25 cents or 25 for 75 cents. 
Sometimes the base price is given for two or more bulbs, meaning that not less 
than that number is sold. For instance, Bushfire has L 2/.30, M 2/.20, S 5/.25, B 
Pkg .30, meaning that not less than those quantities are sold. 
IMPORTANT: Unless otherwise stated, you may buy 10 bulbs of any size and 
variety for 8 times the single bulb price, or 5 bulbs for four times the price of one. 
For example, in the case of Ace of Spades the price of ten bulbs would be L 4.80, 
M 3.20, S 2.00. If the base price is 2/.25, then 10 cost 1.00. If the base price is 3/.25, 
then 10 cost .70. If the base price is 4/.25, then 10 cost .50. 
Number following variety name gives its size and color according to classification 
on page 3. Letter after originator’s name designates season of bloom, as follows: 
VE.—very early; E.—early; EM.—early midseason; M.—midseason; LM.—late mid- 
season; L.—late.
