 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. 



GROFF'S MIXED HYBRIDS.

 per doz.; $2.00 per 100; $18.00 per 1000.

GOED MEDAE HYBRID GEADIOEUS. 



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 grov/ 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 simillar rich shades of color 



in great diversity, 

 per 100.

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

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

 part entirely new and distinct. 7 cts. each; 65 cts. per do/.; 

 $5.00 per 100. 



Gold Medal Mixture. This contains some each of the three 

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

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