Easter Gifts for Your 

 Flower-loving Friend s 



Flowers occupy a large place among the 

 gifts made between friends at Easter-time 

 — but their beauty soon fades and the donor 

 is forgotten in a few short days. Why not 

 send a gift that will give pleasure for 

 months rather than days? 



For those of your friends who love the 

 out-doors, and who grow flowers, a box of 

 Gladioli bulbs would give more real pleas- 

 ure than a box of cut flowers, for stored 

 within the bulbs are days and days of de- 

 light as the flower spikes develop and the 

 great blooms open. 



My New Gladiolus "PEACE" 



is particularly appropriate as an Easter gift. The bulbs 



are large and sound, and will produce great spikes 



of wonderful flowers of the purest white. I have 



My new variety. ' Peace prepared special boxes of this Variety for Easier 



and will send them to your friend's address, postpaid at these prices: 



6 Bulbs for $1.50 12 Bulbs for $3.00 50 Bulbs for $12.50 



Your order will be forwarded according to your directions a day or two before Easter 



(April 7th), with your card of Easter Greetings. 



I shall be glad to supply other varieties if you desire. These may be selected from 

 my catalog which tells just how to grow these magnificent flowers and also shows 

 many uses for them, both in the garden and indoors. Write for a copy today.
