These bulbs were grown under contract 
by a prominent Holland grower for the 
French, German and Russian trade. The 
contracts were broken on account of the 
war, and the grower is compelled to sell at 
a great sacrifice. 
I will guarantee that they are of the 
same FINE QUALITY as the goods I reg- 
ularly deliver to my customers. 
They are packed in lots of ioo, and not 
less than ioo bulbs will be sold to a cus- 
tomer at these prices. This is the great- 
est bargain ever offered in Gladioli Bulbs, 
and the entire allotment will be quickly 
taken. Compare these prices with any 
catalog and send your order with remits 
tance today.

T HE latter part of last winter, vou will remember, was just the 
• ... 
iber, was just the 
kind that made you think that “spring is going to be early this 
year.” But it wasn’t. It lagged along until some of us had to 
plant our gardens all over again, and others said : “What’s the use, 
anyway, of trying to have an early garden any more in this confounded 
climate ? ” 
Along in February we reminded you that Cold Frames or Hot Beds were the only 
sure insurance against a late garden. We even went so far as to say pretty strongly, 
that you ought to buy some of our Frames — even if only ten of the Single Plant ones 
for £6.25, and boost your garden along two to six weeks. 
This year you are going to buy frames — you made up your mind to that, eight 
months ago. 
This being so, as it certainly is so, then the thing for you to do : is send at once for 
our Two P’s Booklet, which tells you about the Pleasure and Profit of Cold Frames 
and Hot Beds. 
We have seven different sizes and kinds of these frames, or garden boosters. 
Send your order now (when we can ship at once) and have them ready for the first 
signs of Spring. 
Every one of them is illustrated, described and priced in our Two P’s Rooklet. There 
are several pages of Helpful Hints, and a Planting Time Table, both of which you want, 
handy, under one cover. Send for this Two P’s Booklet.

Stark Delicious 
Always Shows a Profit 
The “greatest apple in the world” tops the market. There’s satisfaction in growing it, be- 
of its unequalled quality, and money, because of the demand for it. The man who has an orchard made up 
largely of Stark Delicious worries less about his other crops. The practical fruit grower knows that he has a reli 
able money-maker in Stark Delicious. Give it a place in your orchard right away. Write quick for New 
Wholesale Catalog showing Stark Delicious, Stark Early Elberta, and all fruits and ornamentals. Eastern 
growers address Stark Bros., North Girard, Pa., or Dt nsviile, N. Y. Western growers address only
