SUBSTITUTIONS: You will notice that we have divided these forty 
famous Glads into ten sets. If there are any of these sets which you 
do not care for, you may have one bulblet of Picardy instead for each 
set which you omit. But you may not substitute for more than five 
bulblets of Picardy. The Colonial Gardens has probably the second 
largest stock of Picardy in America. We secured 100 per cent 
germination with this variety last year, every bulblet producing a 
nice bulb and frequently over fifty bulblets apiece. Here is your 
chance to get started with Picardy and other famous Glads for very 
little money. If you already have the slide rule, just tell us and 
we will put in a large bulb of Queen Mary (M), Jessie, or Wm. Cuthbert- 
son instead. Bulbs may run oversize but no extras will be sent with 
the above collection. On all orders from our catalog you will find us 
very generous with extras in addition to our giving the Slide Rule 
with all orders over $5.
