COWEE'S THREE-DOLLAR COLLECTION 
For my friends who wish to try a half-dozen of the latest novelties I have selected these as 
representing the very best of the recent introductions. I can tell you what colors appear in the 
flowers, but you cannot know their marvelous beauty until you have seen them blooming in your 
garden. Many of my friends have written me about the pleasure they have derived from this 
splendid collection. I am sure you will be equally well pleased. One bulb of each, postpaid, for $3. 
Daytona. Mauve, shading darker toward base 
of petals. 
Afterglow. Salmon-fawn, with violet center. 
Excelsa. Rose-pink, blotched with white and 
lined with rose.

COWEE'S IMPERIAL TWO-DOLLAR COLLECTION 
For this collection I have selected six of the finest kinds of new Gladioli. One extra-choice bulb 
of each of these new introductions will be sent by mail, postpaid, for only $2. 
Peace. Grandest white known. 
La Luna. Buds open as a pale yellow, passing to

marked brown. Plant over 3 feet high.

6 feet high. Flowers large. 
Dawn. Strong, vigorous plant over 4 feet high. 
Flowers salmon, shading to white, claret stain 
on inferior petals.

size, arranged on a spike about 4 feet high. The 
two lower petals are suffu-sed with white.
