 Mixed Gladiolus 



There are over two hundred different 

 varieties of Gladiolus included in this 

 mixture. No wonder that gardeners every- 

 where are highly pleased with it. May we 

 say that our mixture for 1941 is even 

 better than any other we have ever had 

 before as we kept a very close watch on 

 our fields this summer and made careful 

 notes as to which colors may be added in 

 order to still further improve the mag- 

 nificent color effect.
