colossal flowers open at the same time—with

inches wide—like a solid wall of brilliant 
MSE 5 5c

each bud bursts into flowering glory. 
Don't miss this garden thrill—get these new 
Stern's Skyscraper varieties for a ‘flower show” 
garden this summer. 
These rare varieties are currently being offered 
by leading Gladiolus specialists at as much as $5.00 
for a single bulb. Now, famous Stern’s Nurseries 
brings you these "best-of-the-show”’ beauties at a 
price every gardener can afford. Now you can 
grow these amazing horticultural specimens in your 
own garden without risk! 
Guaranteed to Bloom in 90 Days or Less 
So easy to grow, even the beginner can win prizes 
at flower shows. In your garden they are an out 
standing spectacle that demands attention. In a 
floral arrangement, they are a “living picture” of 
grace and color that are not surpassed by any 
other flower. Simply plant these Stern's giants deep- 
er than ordinary ''Glads’’—about 5-6 inches deep. 
This is necessary because their towering height 
requires a firm foundation. Plant in any kind of soil 
with good drainage. Give them maximum sunshine 
(all day long if possible). Water frequently. For a 
continuous display of exhibition Gladiolus, plant 
bulbs at intervals of two weeks. Plant until July Ist. 
Enjoy a succession of exquisite blooms from July 
until late fall. 
RUSH ORDER—Our supply of these rare bulbs 
is extremely limited.
