ety.

deep red blotches in the throat. A color combination rivaling 
any of the finest orchids.

a veritable giant in height. This salmon-rose-pink Glad has 
rapidly won the favor of Glad fans everywhere. Flame and 
scarlet splashings and flecking add to the richness of the

Yankton, S. Dak. 
Dear Sir: 
Last year, I purchased from The House of 
Gurney, a perennial Phlox, the Von Hock- 
berg and it is just perfectly beautiful now, 
just covered with flowers. I planted it in a 
group with a white and a lavender Phlox and 
it makes a very pretty effect. 
Yours truly, 
Mrs. A. P. Jacobs 
All Gladioli (except those otherwise mark¬ 
ed) Each, 10c; 3 for 20c; 10 for 50c; 25 for 
$1.00; 50 for $1.75; 100 for $3.00 
The Gladiolus or "‘Glad” is the Common 
Man's Orchid. They are gorgeous in their 
variety of color. As cut flowers or in the 
garden, they add much to the joy of living. 
You need at least a dozen. They will make 
life more worth while and your home more 
livable. John Peter. 
Gladioli have their place in every garden. The 
bulbs should be set so that the top is about two 
inches below the surface and spaced from six to 
eight inches apart. It makes the most stately 
of cut flowers and if picked when the first flow¬ 
ers open, it will continue to flower clear to the 
tip and last a long time. The following varieties 
have been selected for their special merit, and 
we are offering them at a price that should 
command your attention. 
Alice Tlplady—The Queen of the Primulinus 
type. Large, open flowers gracefully placed on 
very long stems. A soft coppery bronze shaded 
buff. In color, texture, and beauty it is unsur¬ 
passed. Plant medium tall with long slender 
flower spike. 
Albania—Glistening pure w'hite without no¬ 
ticeable throat or other markings; clearest white 
yet produced, with wide fringy petals and long, 
full spikes. 
Butterboy — Deep, rich yellow, showy and dis¬ 
tinctive. One of the choicest.

crimson scarlet, massive spikes and flowers of 
large size; a strong, vigorous grower.

liant orange-scarlet. Extra large and vigorous. 
Acknowledged one of the best.

of the petals. A strong grower with heavy 
spikes.

fairly sparkling with a characteristic lustre, and 
joyous color tones. Rosy-pink, darker at edges 
and dimming to shell-pink at center, brilliant
