THE fundamental principles of plant breeding are simple. The practical applica¬ 
tion of these principles demands the highest and most refined efforts of which 
the mind of man is capable, and no line of mental effort promises more for the 
elevation, advancement, prosperity and happiness of the human race.— Burbank.

LADY LUCK MIXTURE 
The compositionof this mixture ia the surplus from my breeding stock, con¬ 
sisting of the present and recent a.G.B. Favorite Fifty varieties, some of 
Luther nurbank's creations, and many unnameo seedlings of my own. 1 have 
limited my own breeding experiments to Gladiolus Alternatus, pure self¬ 
colors in standard forms, and to the development of hardy and fragrant 
gladiolus. Regardless of worth, everything else goes into this grab-bag, 
excepting, of course, those seedlings which do not come up to the standards 
1 have set. *11 are either Large Lecorative or Exhibition types. No flow¬ 
ers under 3 inches, or 1 make good - bulb for bulb. No names, but a riot 
of color and many new faces for your garden. An excellent buy if you do 
not care to keep names separate. Good reports come in each year from the 
collections I send out. 
Large, £1.00 per dozen, £6.50 per 100 medium, 75^ per dozen, £5.00 per 100 
Small, 50^ per dozen, £3.50 per 100 
LADY LUCK BULBLETS 
A rare opportunity to get a start with the fine new ones. To increase them 
in great numbers, buy bulblets. In addition to what is listed above, this 
bulblet mixture contains the offspring of all unbloomed seedlings'. I can 
guarantee nothing, but I know that some of the parents of these little fel¬ 
lows will some day be christened. Ly collections have been so popular in 
the past that I have decided to continue offering them. If well-grown, a 
few will bloom this season, many will bloom next year, and practically all 
will bloom the third year. Lozen, 25 ? 100 for £1*25 
LADY LUCK GLADIOLUS SEEDS 
Only a moderate quantity of seed is allowed to set naturally on selected 
specimens among my breeding stock, therefore this seed is very limited. 
Understand, please, that this seed is produced by the finest named var¬ 
ieties obtainable and sired by the same high class types. Lo not confuse 
this with the ordinary runof-the field seed from which little can be ex¬ 
pected. Potential blue ribDon winners are here. If you are endowed with 
the necessary patience, some very lovely seedlings should be your reward 
in two or three years, phe only thing lacking will be the pedigree, and 
if you do not keep names separate, what good is that? 50 seeds for 50^
