DREER'S SELECT GLADIOLUS 



-Continued. 



Gladiolus, Gold Medal Hybrids 



GLADIOLUS in Mixture 



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

 the common sorts, which produce themselves so freely, and 

 are all strictly selected first size bulbs, and are sure to 

 give satisfactory results. 



DREER'S SUPERB 



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 which surpassed it in variety 

 of coloring or general excellence, and, whether wanted for 

 planting for effect or for cutting, will be found entirely satis- 

 factory. 30 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1000. 



LEMOINE'S BUTTERFLY 



HYBRIDS MIXED. 



The remarkable richness of the colorings of this class rivals 

 the finest orchids. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.75 per 100; $16.00 

 per 1000. 



NEW GIANT (Nanceanus). 



A magnificent race of extraordinary size and remarkable 

 beauty, possessing the long-lasting properties and the beautiful 

 markings of the Lemoine section. Mixed varieties, 40 cts. per 

 doz.; $2.50 per 100; $22.00 per 1000. 



PRIMULINUS HYBRIDS. 



The original of this type introduced from South Africa has 

 been much improved by crossing with choice garden varieties, 

 and the mixed hybrids here offered are certain to produce some 

 beautiful flowers, mostly in tones running from light yellow to 

 orange apricot and crimson; the flowers are of good size, borne 

 on tall graceful spikes, and are of healthy, vigorous constitution. 

 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $32.00 per 1000.

GOLD MEDAL HYBRID 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 rapidly, 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. 



Gold Medal Section No. I. This contains all the scarlet, 

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

 in great diversity. 5 cts. each; 50 cts. per doz. ; $3.50 per 

 100. 



Oold Medal Section No. 2. This is composed of the white, 

 yellow and delicate shades of pink, rose, etc., and is especially 

 valuable for cutting. 5 cts. each; 50 cts. per doz.; $4.00 

 per 100. 



Gold Medal Section No. 3. In this section are included 

 the new blue, heliotrope, lilac, mauve and similar tints. A 

 lady customer, on seeing a bunch of these, called them 

 "pansy colors," which aptly describes them. They are for 

 the most part entirely new and distinct. 6 cts. each; 65 cts. 

 per doz. ; $5.00 per 100. 



Gold riedal nixture. This contains some each of the three 

 sections, and so great is the diversity in colors that customers 

 run practically no risk of getting any two alike; by far the 

 finest mixture of Gladioli ever offered. 5 cts. each; 50 cts. 

 per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



NOTE. — All Bulbs, Roots and Plants are forwarded by Express, purchaser paying charges. If wanted by Parcel Post add 10 per cent, 

 to value of order for postage to points east of the Mississippi River, and 20 per cent, to points west of the Mississippi River.
