Gladiolus in Mixtures 
T O SECURE the greatest variety and beauty from Gladiolus, it is absolutely 
necessary to grow them in mixtures also. Anyone who has ever had the 
pleasure of visiting a first-class collection grown in mixture will appreciate 
this statement. If orignators find their highest enjoyment, as they do, in growing 
vast numbers of kinds together, will not the average grower for pleasure derive 
an equal benefit from growing them in the same way? If I were permitted to grow 
only a limited number of kinds, each under name and number, or many varieties 
in a mixture, I would certainly decide in favor of the latter method; for in this 
way only is it possible to secure and enjoy the almost limitless variety and beauty 
to be found among the Gladiolus. 
Our “Ideal Mixture” is a selection of the best, from hundreds of thousands of 
our own recent productions of large flowering kinds, and contains hundreds of 
varieties equal to the best named. (This is the mixture described by Mr. Morton 
on another page.) In their production only the finest varieties, such as “Mrs. 
Frank Pendleton” and thousands of our most select separately growing varieties 
were used, resulting in a strain of the greatest vigor and variety of forms and 
beautiful colors. In colors, every magnificent and gorgeous combination conceiv¬ 
able is represented. The richest of self-colors, blotched, etc., the finest light and 
white and pastels of every tint or color. It also embraces numerous ruffled var¬ 
ieties and some of our choicest named. Each season we add many more fine 
kinds (all our own) to this selection, and I am certain it can not be equaled else¬ 
where at any price. To secure the best value and variety it is necessary to 
obtain a considerable number of bulbs, and therefore I have decided to offer my 
customers and friends this season an opportunity to purchase a large and beautiful 
collection at a price within reach of all. 
1000 for only $35.00 100 for $4.00. Dozen for 50c.

varieties, here offered for the first time. Contains more ruffled varieties than our

NEW PRIMULINUS HYBRIDS IN MIXTURES 
“Grand Mixture”. A very select mixture from our new strain described else¬ 
where in this catalog. The most beautiful and delicate pastel tints are found 
among them, and no race of gladiolus contains such harmonious blendings of 
color. Some of them are ruffled, but most of them are plain petaled and quite 
distinct from all other strains of these beautiful new hybrids.
