These varieties rate among the dahlias just as do 
the gladiolus we list — the current, first prize winning 
sorts, all free bloomers on strong stems and good 
keepers when cut. We consider it a waste of time to 
bother with poor keepers, no matter how large or 
beautiful. 
These tubers are not merely “field grown tubers,” 
which phrase often camouflages tubers grown in the 
field from plants. These are tubers field grown from 
tubers. 
Our stocks are not large, yet too large for us, de¬ 
tracting attention from our gladiolus, so they are 
priced to assure substantial depletion of stock.

JANET P. G. 101 *—ft Smoky gray to peach pink. 
Unusually attractive color with more commercial 
value than most smokies. Given rating A in 
Canada. At these prices this is a very extra value 
and we want so much to have you enjoy it that 
we are going to share it with you without profit, 
but withholding our small bulbs and bulblets.
