THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA.

IT won't be long be- 

 fore our salesmen 

 are out talking Bulbs. 

 For the Fall season is 

 not so very far away. 

 Probably one will call 

 on you. Watch for 

 him. 



Our men are a jolly, 

 good-natured lot — wil- 

 ling to give and take 

 — and always ready to 

 do your bidding. 



And behind the joviality 

 of each lies the Thorburn 

 reputation for fair dealing 

 • — the Thorburn knowledge 

 of what's what in seeds 

 and bulbs. 



The Gladiolus 



by its stateliness and 

 unusual beauty has en- 

 deared itself to garden 

 lovers. There is a spot 

 for its delicately formed 

 flowers in Everyman's 

 garden. 



Now is when you should 

 plant your Gladioli to add 

 their brilliant color to this 

 summer's garden. Surely 

 you want them — there is not 

 ;i prettier flower.
