DREER'S 



"Gold Medal" Gladiolus 



We grow this magnificent strain for the ex- 

 press purpose of being able to supply those 

 who want the very best mixture possible. 



When Gladioli are grown in mix 

 they are liable to deteriorate rapidly 

 finally contain but a few colors. 

 To avoid this we grow small 

 blocks of a large number of ex- 

 quisite high-grade sorts from 

 which this mixture is made and 

 which embraces all colors 

 from the richest reds 

 through all the interme- 

 diate tones of pink, rose, 

 salmon, blush, white, yel- 

 low to the new blue, he- 

 liotrope and "pansy col- 

 ors." Indeed so great is 

 the diversity of colors 

 that there is little risk of any 

 two being exactly alike. 



Having a large stock of splen- 

 did bulbs, we are able to offer 

 them at a very reasonable price, 

 viz. 60 cts. per doz., $4.00 per 100, 

 $35.00 per 1000. If wanted by 

 Parcel Post add 6 cts. per doz. for 

 postage. 



The above is but one of our Specialties.

For 



greener 

 gardens and 

 healthier plants 



YOU cannot expect your flowers and shrub- 

 bery, your potted plants, your lawns or 

 your vegetable garden to take more from 

 the soil than you put into the soil. You 

 must feed the soil if the soil is to feed the 

 plant. 

 NITRO-FERTILE is planned to make your 

 task of feeding the soil easy, simple and 

 pleasant. It is a liquid which you dilute 

 with water and pour directly around the 

 roots of the plants. Being a liquid it is 

 so absolutely odorless that you can use 

 it freely on your dining-room fernery. 



We do not ask you to accept glowing 

 claims about Nitro-Fertile. We prefer to 

 invite you to 



try a 10-day test 



Nitro-Fertile is sold in all sized packages 

 from Y2 pints to gallons. For trial 

 purposes we mail a i-oz. sample sufficient 

 to make one to two gallons or enough fer- 

 tilizer for a 10-day test on your indoor 

 plants or a small outdoor plot. Send 25c 

 for this sample. Nitro-Fertile is more 

 economically purchased through your 

 dealer as the excess price covers careful 

 packaging and mailing.
