Burpee’s GLADIOLUS BULBS 
Burpee’s famous gladiolus are grown and admired wherever beautiful flowers are known. They make attractive displays in the garden, 
planted either in beds or in groups here and there in perennial or annual borders and are ideal for house decoration. If the spikes are cut 
when the bottom flower shows color, all the buds, clear to the top, will open. Gladiolus are easily grown in any good, well-drained soil. 
The gladiolus bulbs that we offer are large, 144 in. and more across and will produce the largest flowers and the tallest spikes. All 
Burpee bulbs are guaranteed to bloom or your money back. We offer an extra choice selection of named varieties. 
You may order 25 bulbs or more of the same variety at the 100 rate. 
Cultural directions are printed on every bag containing the bulbs. See opposite page for other gladiolus varieties.
