Qladiolus for Summer flowers 
Gladiolus are probably the most popular of summer and fall 
blooming bulbs. By planting as soon as danger of frost is over 
and at intervals of two weeks you can have gladiolus all sum¬ 
mer. They are easily grown, seldom troubled with insects or 
diseases, and increase rapidly. Plant 3 to 6 in. apart. Instruc¬ 
tions for growing and increasing your stock will be sent with 
the bulbs. 
Please Notice we Quote by Size 
“Blooming size” doesn’t mean much, because 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 
4th and 5th size will bloom, though the smaller sizes give 
smaller flowers and smaller spikes than the larger sizes. First 
size is \Yi inches and over in diameter; 2nd size 114 inches; 
3rd size 1 inch; 4th size 24 inch; 5th size Yi inch. 
Gladiolus, Mixed 
An excellent mixture of 2nd size bulbs, 124 inch in diameter, 
and excellent value for outdoor planting. One each 12 first 
class varieties, not labeled 40c; two each for 75c. Postpaid 
in Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. For other 
s'.ates add 10%. 
THE FASCINATION OF ROCK GARDENING 
Your garden may be charming and beautiful from the time 
the first flowers of spring appear until the frosts of autumn. It 
may consist of a few square feet and represent only a few dol¬ 
lars and a little work. Or it may be large and give you an op¬ 
portunity to exercise all your skill in design and indulge your 
fancy for variety, color and form. Size is of importance only 
as it affects the treatment, the kind and number of plants that 
may be used. It is surprising how charming a picture may be 
produced the first season. Rock gardening is not as complicated 
as it sounds. 
We have issued a little booklet of instructions entitled “The 
Fascination of Rock Gardening.” If you haven’t a copy write 
for it. 
Blackberries 
Blackberries begin bearing the second year and under suitable 
conditions may be depended upon for regular, profitable crops. 
A strong, deep loam that will retain moisture, tending toward 
clay rather than sand, is best. If properly tended they may be 
planted 2x6 ft., 3600 per acre. 
Early Harvest —Medium size but juicy, sweet, and valuable 
for its extreme earliness, hardiness and productiveness; firm, 
ships well. 50c per 10, $1.00 per 25, 50 or more at $3.50 per 
100, 500 or more at $30.00 per 1000. 
A home is not complete until the grounds are made as livable 
as the house itself. Planted early, trees and shrubs will have 
more time to develop their beauty and charm.
