Finest Named Gladiolus 
I offer the finest named Gladiolus, large, clean, healthy 
bulbs, free from insects and diseases, sure to bloom, and 
guaranteed to give satisfaction. I pay all postage and war¬ 
rant the safe arrival of the bulbs. When received, plant 
them five inches deep in a sunny bed of rich, porous garden 
soil and mulch the bed with well decayed stable litter, which 
will not only promote a vigorous growth and bloom, but keep 
the soil moist during a moderate drouth. I supply these 
fine named bulbs at hard times prices, as follows, and you 
can pick them out: 100 bulbs, $3.00; 50 bulbs, $1.60; 25 bulbs, 
85 cts; 12 bulbs, 45 cts.; 1 bulb, 5 cts. If ordering Dahlias 
or other things at the same time, one bulb would be 4 cts. 
See your neighbors and friends and get up a club order. You 
can safely plant them any time before July.
