GLADIOLUS in Mixture. 
Lf Gladiolus are wanted by mail adit10 cts. per doz. for postage. 
Our mixtures offered below are made up of fine varieties, not the com- 
mon sorts which produce themselves so freely, and are all strictly 
selected first-size bulbs, and are sure to give satisfactory results. 
GROFF’S GOLD MEDAL AND SILVER TROPHY STRAIN. 
This magnificent strain has a world-wide reputation, and represents 
the cream of Groff's creations. It has been divided into three color 
sections, which we offer separate or mixed, viz.: 
Section No. 1. This contains all the scarlet, blood-red, garnet, 
amaranth, and similar rich shades of color in great diversity. 6 cts. 
each; 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 
Section No. 2. This is composed of the white, yellow and deli- 
cate shades of pink, rose, etc., and is especially valuable for cutting, 
7 cts. each; 64 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 
Section No. 3. In this section are included the new blue, 
purple, 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. 
8 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz; $6 00 per 100. 
GOLD MEDAL AND SILVER TROPHY MIXTURE. 
This contains some each of the above three sections, and so great is 
‘the diversity in color that customers run practically no risk of getting 
any two alike; by far the finest mixture of Gladioli ever offered. 7 cts 
each; 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 
GROFF’S HYBRIDS. 
These are the earlier hybrids of Mr. Groff, and while not as fine as the 
preceding, the size and coloring of many of the sorts are truly mar- 
velous. 4 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz; $2.00 per 100; $18 00 per 1000. 
LEMOINE’S BUTTERFLY HYBRIDS MIXED.

A magnificent race of extraordinary size and remarkable beauty, pos- 
sessing the long-lasting properties and the beautiful markings of the

525.00 per 1000.

This is our leading mixture, and is composed of only fine sorts in all
