iOR several years fashion or vogue 
in flowers has been as pronounced as 
in clothes or furnishings. At Cedar 
Acres, the past season, purple and gold 
were in great demand. 
Fortunately, in our borders we had plant- 
ings of purple and gold Gladioli with purple 
and gold Salpiglossis. At the base, to cover 
the earth and give added beauty, were 
carpets of purple Verbena, purple phlox, 
blue-purple petunias, and here and there a 
touch of pink Verbenas. Blue Salvia and 
gold celosia were among the unusual things 
growing near standard Heliotrope. Rising 
in the background, green bushes of Buddelia 
were covered with fragrant trusses of lav- 
ender flowers. 
In the show room these same colors 
found expression in harmonious arrange- 
ment, for by mere chance we were able to 
satisfy the demand by the use of flower 
containers in the same tints. 
Some other color may be the popular one 
the coming season, but it is gratifying to 
know that whatever the call, the Gladiolus 
will respond to almost any demand. All 
who grow them know there is no other gar- 
den flower gives such a limitless array of 
color and shade, in such usable form. 
At Cedar Acres you will find whole fields 
of color melody, and this same melody goes 
out to the world in bulbs for your friend's 
garden, for your own garden, or in blooms 
from your own garden. Letters from cus- 
tomers tell us of the pleasure derived from 
gift boxes of flowers and bulbs, and we know 
that added pleasure will be given those who 
enjoy sending these boxes. 
Gladiolus Amethyst, now a prime favor- 
ite, was used most effectively with Pink Per- 
fection. We know of no flowers but tulip
