LtLY OF THE VALLEY—Everyone knows this 
lovely perfumed flower with its drooping bells of 
dainty waxen whiteness. It is hardy, increases 
rapidly when once it feels at home, and really 
prefers those shady corners (if the soil be not 
dry and baked) where it is hard to get other 
things to grow. Try it on the north side of the 
house, or colonize it where shrubbery arches. 
Sturdy individual pips, field grown, 10 for 40c; 
30 for $1.00; 100 for $2.65. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY PINK BELLS—In this 
truly rare variety, the blossoms are suffused with 
pink. Good pips, 3 for 50c; 7 for $1.00. 
OLD ORCHARD BULB SPECIAL 
Five bulbs of Hyacinthus candicans, eight of 
Amaryllis formosissima, eight of Mexican tube¬ 
rose, twenty-five Oxalis Blend, and three Hymen- 
ocallis. Forty-nine fine flowering bulbs for the 
garden, $2.55 separately, for only TWO DOL¬ 
LARS in the collection. No changes allowed in 
this list. Add postage according to note on page 
8. All these bulbs need precisely same handling 
as Gladiolus. 
GLADIOLUS OLD ORCHARD BLEND 
An actual blending of new and fine named 
sorts; rose, pink, apricot, salmon, orange, bronze, 
copper, tangerine, buff, golden and primrose, 
with red, scarlet and maroon. Then there are 
all the rich “pansy” shades, velvet purple, violet, 
amaranth, blue and lavender, with others mauve 
or opalescent, and white, of course, pure or tinted. 
Only large-flowered kinds of robust habit are in¬ 
cluded, and care is taken to see that there is no 
undue preponderance of certain color classes. 
Here is the great advantage of a blended mix¬ 
ture over stocks that are grown in mixture, the 
latter always tending to become unbalanced. 
We have here a really unique blend. We make 
it up ourselves, and we are proud of the result. 
Nothing quite like it has been previously offered, 
and of course there is no flower quite so fitted 
for summer cutting as the Gladiolus. It will 
thrive in anyone’s garden, anywhere that gardens 
are made. Strong blooming size bulbs. 10 for 
50c; 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.50. 
GLADIOLUS DIVERSITIES 
Here we have tried to gather in one blend as 
many of the oddly tinted and curiously marked 
kinds as may be found, sorts that would answer 
no other color classification. This includes smoky 
and Ashes of Rose shades, those with weird 
overlays, of one color above another, vividly 
blotched, marbled and peacock-eye types, ones 
with picotee edgings, pin stripes, nettings, varie¬ 
gations or rainbow tones, with others brightly 
starred. In it are kinds so strange that you will 
scarce believe the evidence of your own eyes 
when you flower them in your garden. 4 for 35c; 
10 for 75c; 25 for $1.65. 
NAMES OF FRIENDS. If you have two or 
three garden-loving friends, and care to send us 
their full names and addresses, it will be an ap¬ 
preciated favor that we shall try to repay in fill¬ 
ing your order.
