Groffs New Hybrid Gladioli. 
The mixture I offer is made up from the original and 
latest introductions of Mr. Groff, and comprises the 
widest range of color possible, including shades of lilac, 
lavender and clematis, which hitherto have been practi¬ 
cally unknown in Gladioli. The pink, red, scarlet, crimson 
and cerise shades are the highest quality. The white, 
light and yellow shades are of the purest colors, relieved 
in many varieties by stains and blotches of most intense 
and decided contrast. Prices for good flowering bulbs, 
4c. each; 35c. per doz.; $2.75 for 100. By Express, at 
buyer’s expense, $20.00 per 1,000.
