DOES IT PAY? 
Some people say that advertising in the N. E. (1. S. Year Book 
pay bnt I don’t believe them. It does pay and this advertisement is 
pay too. Why? Well just because I am going to offer you such choice varieties 
at such low prices that you will not rest until you have ordered some. Per¬ 
haps you have never grown any of Brown’s varieties. Then you have lost 
more than I have. I have been in this business nearly 25 years and I claim 
to know what a good glad looks like and T stake my last cent on 
varieties offered in this ad. 
You can grow all the high priced and highly advertised kinds and 
lot of pleasure but you can grow some of Brown’s varieties and get 
pleasure than you will with some that are advertised at ten times the 
Instead of introducing my varieties at high prices and spending a 
money boosting them I prefer to sell them at a low cost ar 
beauty do their own advertising. 
The descriptions given of color are those on The Fischer Color Chart. 
Just get out your chart and see the actual color of the varieties. Why list 
and advertise a flower as “Carnelian Red” when actually it is pure Red 
Orange. (See chart) or we frequently see listed in gladiolus catalogs varie¬ 
ties called “Rhodamine Purple.” Well look on the Fischer Chart and you will 
find it is pure violet red. Simple isn’t it? But I list mine all by Fischer Chart 
so that even if you have no chart yet the name itself gives you a good idea 
of the color. 
So much for color. Now for price. I’ll bet you never bought a bulb as 
good as Annie Laurie or Bleeding Heart at that price. Melba, Silverado and 
dozens of others are getting to be known all over the country even in Aus¬ 
tralia. New Zealand, England, etc. Two varieties were awarded First Class 
Certificates by The Royal Horticultural Society. And these have been circu¬ 
lated strictly on merit without any great boosting by advertising. 
Now,^—Get at least a few of these choice kinds for your garden. I know 
now that you will like them, and you will know it when you see them 
growing.
