are the Glory 

 of Every Garden 



NO OTHER flower offers so much of 

 beauty and delight for so little 

 trouble and care as does the modern 

 Gladiolus. No other garden flower even 

 approaches it in variety, tints and markings. 

 I have grown over 25,000 distinct varieties. 

 Monotony is impossible. Every blossom is 

 a revelation and a joy. I have devoted the 

 best years of my life to developing it 

 through sheer love of it. It is a flower to 

 command admiration and to win love. Give 

 it a place in your garden and it will forever 

 hold a place in your heart. I have never 

 known it to fail. I am called a Gladiolus 

 expert, but I say to you [that you. can grow 

 from my bulbs just as handsome flowers as I 

 can produce. Average garden soil and less 

 than average care is all they ask. 



Let Me Tell You All About Them 

 Just Write for My New Catalogue 



A copy will be sent you free for the asking. I have called it "The 

 Glory of the Garden." When you have read it and seen the exquisite illus- 

 trations in natural colors you will understand why. It will tell you all 

 about the choicest named varieties of this superb flower, just how to grow 

 them and why they are unequalled in the garden and for cutting. My bulbs 

 — the best in all the world — are ready to ship. Without some of them your 

 garden will be incomplete. Write for my little book today — a copy will be 

 sent you by return mail.

Woman's Work is Never Done 



A man's work gets done because he is quick to surround himself with labor, 

 saving, time-saving devices. Women sacrifice themselves economizing — using the 

 old methods year after year.

 Vudors will equip the average porch for from 

 $3 to $io. Their durability is enormously in- 

 creased by double warps at both edges and at 

 intervals throughout very wide shades. They can't 

 loosen nor come undone at the ends. Vudors 

 are indelibly stained.
