Gladiolus, Gold Medal Hybrids 



GLADIOLUS in Mixture I 



Our mixtures offered below are made up of fine varieties, not j 

 the common sorts, which produce themselves so freely, and are all ( 

 Strictly selected first size bulbs, and are sure to give satis- 

 factory results. 



DREER'S GENERAL MIXTURE 



This is our popular low-priced mixture, and is composed of 

 fine sorts, in all colors, in first size bulbs only. We have tested 

 many brands of mixtures, some of them costing twice as much 

 as this, but have never seen any except our Gold Medal Mixture 

 which surpassed it in variety of coloring or general excellence, and, 

 whether wanted for planting for effect or for cutting, will be found 

 entirely satisfactory. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $27.50 

 per 1000. 



PRIMULINUS HYBRIDS MIXED 



This mixture is certain to produce some beautiful flowers mostly 

 in tones running from light yeUow to orange, apricot and crimson; 

 for description of this type see page 137 SO cts. per doz.; $3.50 

 per 100: $30.00 per 1000. 



GOLD MEDAL GLADIOLUS 



We grow this magnificent strain for the express purpose of 

 being able to supply many of our customers who want something 

 decidedly better than the usual run of mixtures and who do not 

 care for the named sorts. When Gladiolus are grown in mixture 

 they are liable to deteriorate, and finally contain only a few colors. 

 To avoid this we grow small blocks of a large number of exquisite 

 colors, many of them high-priced sorts, from which these mixtures 

 are made, which insures results which cannot be had in any other 

 way, and if you wish something really extra fine, these are sure to 

 please you.

 blood-red, garnet, amaranth, and similar rich shades of color in 

 great diversity. 7 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5.50 per 100.
