Schzzpers’ SVeur 1055 Novelty Glladioli 
The following list represents the best in the Gladioli world today. Many of the varieties are offered this 
year for the first time; however, they have been tested under all climatic conditions and we feel confi- 
dent in presenting them to our select clientele. This past season, at all of the leading flower shows, they 
have been awarded highest honors. They will eventually replace many of the old “standbys”. 
“I should like to inflame the whole world with my taste for gardening. There is no 
virtue that I do not attribute to the man who lives to project and execute gardens.”
