The Famous FRAGRANT GLADIOLUS 
This variety came from Ethiopia as 
Gladiolus Murialae and while some 
botanists consider this to be its correct 
classification, others classify it as a 
species of Acidanthera. Under which- 
ever name you choose to call it, you 
will find it to be one of the finest ad- 
ditions to your Gladiolus garden. The 
flowers are pure white with a maroon- 
black blotch on the lower petal, pro- 
duced on spikes about 2 feet tall. When 
in bloom, the entire garden is filled 
with a delightful perfume suggestive 
of carnations. Blooming size bulbs 
which are smaller than regular Gla- 
diolus bulbs. (3 for 45c) (6 for 80c) 
(12 for $1.50).
