PRICE  LIST  OF 

CARTER’S  WONDER 

"GLADIOLUS” 


THE  FLOWER  SUPREME 

"HOME  GROWN  BULBS” 

THEY  ARE  THE  BEST 


For  seven  years  I have  been  growing  Gladiolus.  In 
that  time  I have  grown  a great  many  that  I have  now 
discarded  and  replaced  them  with  flowers  of  superior 
quality. 

The  ones  that  I have  listed  are  all  young,  one  and 
two  year  old  bulbs,  all  good  clean  stock  grown  in  my 
own  gardens  and  are  climated. 

Any  bulb  sold  that  is  not  true  to  name  will  be  replaced. 

CULTURE  DIRECTIONS  SENT  ON  REQUEST.
