 You would like to possess such treasures, wouldn't you? 



There is nothing in this world so fine in bulbs — nothing- as beautiful as 

 Luther Burbank's Gladioli. 



They are a new and distinct type — the largest, the most brilliant, and 

 the most varied ever created. 



The opportunity of securing- these exclusive creations is now yours, but 

 as there are only 50 sets in all, you must order at once'to make sure. 



The varieties offered are especially rich in scarlet, salmon, and crimson 

 shades — the rarest and most desired in all collections. The flowers are 

 enormous, as remarkable for their size and substance as they are brilliant 

 in coloring. 



Burbank's Gladioli are the most easily grown of all bulbous plants. 

 They grow with vigor and freedom from fungous diseases. The growing 

 season is very long. Plant in cold northern climates from April to July; 

 in California at any season. Bloom in Summer.

much esteemed for cutting, and makes a most 

 beautiful color combination with any of the delicate 

 pink or pale rose varieties. 



May Campbell is quite unique in its way, there 

 being no other variety to approach it in its mark- 

 ings. The ground color is cream, beautifully 

 flaked with carmine in the centre of the standard, 

 the wings also being lightly touched with soft 

 carmine flakes. 



Of the brighter or more gaudily flaked varieties, 

 Mrs. W. J. Unwin now leads; the ground color is 

 white with heavy orange flakes. It is a very 

 vigorous grower. If you want only one flaked 

 variety, choose this. 



Orchid is without exception one of the most 

 vigorous and free flowering varieties in cultivation, 

 and is destined to be a leader for many years to 

 come. The color is a rich heliotrope or rosy 

 mauve. I know of no variety that throws more 

 four-flowered sprays than this one. 



Within the past two years there has been added 

 a new class which includes some quite new colors,

R. 2. Paw Paw, Mich. 



Orchid sweet pea. one of the most vigorous and 

 freest flowering varieties in cultivation 



the most distinct and best of which are Charles 

 Foster, salmon pink and bronze; Afterglow, elec- 

 tric shades of blue; Prince George, a pinkish salmon 

 with a heavy suffusion of bronze and rosy lilac. 

 These three varieties are perfectly unique in their 

 way and worthy of a trial. They invariably 

 produce four flowers on a spray and when well 

 grown give many double standard flowers. 



King Edward Spencer, although a magnificent 

 crimson colored flower, lacks the brightness of 

 Vermilion Brilliant and Scarlet Emperor. 



In new lavenders the best are Florence Nightin- 

 gale and R. F. Felton, though a distinct shade is 

 found in Pearl Gray Spencer, the color being a 

 charming pearl or dove-gray with very little rose 

 suffusion. 



Duplex Spencer, as the name implies, is a double 

 flowered variety, many of the flowers having 

 double or triple standards. The color is cream and 

 rosy-pink, and it is of great value for cutting. 



Those who admire delicate shades will be de- 

 lighted with Charm, white suffused pale lilac. 



For brilliancy of color Thomas Stevenson takes 

 first place, the immense, fiery-orange flowers being 

 really dazzling. Another exceedingly rich colored 

 variety is found in Stirling Stent, with bright 

 glowing, deep orange-salmon blossoms. When 

 introduced two years ago this variety sold at the 

 unprecedented rate of thirty cents per seed. It 

 is now, however, within the reach of all. 



Decorator is a lovely and most distinct rich 

 coral-pink, and is especially effective under
