GLADIOLI IN MIXTURES 
Our mixtures are carefully prepared from named varieties of the most improved types. All are equally 
superb in their class, and particularly rich in shades of wliite, pink, salmon, orange, yellow, and heliotrope 
In buying a mixture, you will find it much better if the sizes of the bulbs vary to a considerable degree- 
the largest bulbs do not always give the best results; in fact, the finest varieties produce rather small or 
medium-sized bulbs. The bulbs, however, should be of blooming age. Ours are.

NAMED PRIMULINUS GLADIOLI 
NOVELTIES OF RARE BEAUTY 
As most hybrids of this lovely type appear in the 
soft tones of pink, salmon, yellow, orange, buff, and 
bronze, all of which blend so beautifully, it is con- 
sidered, on the whole, most satisfactory to plant 
Primulinus in mixture, inasmuch as there are nearly 
300 color variations to be found among them, all of 
which are extremely desirable. 
The greatly increasing popularity of this type, 
however, has created a strong desire for named varie- 
ties. We are glad to be able to offer ten exceptionally 
fine new sorts which are not only wonderfully charm- 
ing but really quite distinctive. The supply this 
year is necessarily limited.

beautifully blotched chrome-yellow in throat.
