Gladioli, 



Panmure Extra Fine 



Mixed. 



In handling gladioli, I import bulbs as well 

 as raise them. The best growers of the world 

 contribute to my stock. It is impossible to sell 

 out all the stock which 1 carry, but at the end of 

 every season there are many choice odds and 

 ends', or left-overs, including great numbers of 

 high priced varieties. Each season I plant these 

 desirable novelties at Panmure and bloom them. 

 In the rich, well tilled soil they make rows of 

 bloom that are bright and beautiful, and the 

 following spring I offer these same bulbs in 

 mixture to my friends. They have been "proved 

 at Panmure," and I know every one to be a 

 treasure. The sorts can no longer be sold un- 

 der separate names, but that fact merely low- 

 ers the price without affecting the real value and 

 beauty of these handsome flowers. The bulbs 

 are strong and healthy, 4 for 10 cents; 25 cents 

 per dozen; 50 for 81.00; 81.75 per 100, postpaid. 

 By express, not prepaid, S1.25 per 100. 



Any of the above, 5 cents each; 45 cents per dozen, postpaid.
