Th ree Beauti (ul Chr istmas GiFts Free 
to Every Colonial Gardens* Customer 
(Btit you ivon t have to ivait till Christmas to receive thern). 
If you want some beautiful pictures (in full color) 
for vour home, or are on the lookout for appropriate gifts to take care 
of your Christmas list, here is your opportunity to get them right along 
with your regular bulb order without any extra cost. Do not confuse 
these pictures with cheap calendar prints. They are produced by a much 
more expensive process on special heavy papers. The colors are soft 
and rich and the detail wonderfully accurate. You will be greatly 
surprised at their quality. These pictures could not be purchased out¬ 
right at a regular art store for anywhere near the amount which we 
have set as the minimum bulb order with which we will send them 
absolutely free. There is no catch to it whatever: it is simply an adver¬ 
tising stunt, tho an unusually generous one. Instead of spending our 
whole advertising budget on magazine space or using colored illus¬ 
trations in our catalog, we thought it wiser to go into color work of 
a higher grade and give our customers something of permanent value. 
Primarily we hope to get a lot of new customers but we want our old 
patrons, many of them of many years’ standing, to share this special 
offer. We hope you will tell vour friends about it. Here is something 
more about the pictures: 
Green Glade from the painting by Rudolph Tragard. An intimate 
brookside scene full of woodland atmosphere and leafy charm. A beau¬ 
tiful interpretation of what the word brook means to every Nature 
lover. Mr. Tragard, who is himself a glad fancier as well as an artist, 
has consented to our naming a gladiolus for him — a thing which we 
expect to do next season. 
Bouquet of Red Roses. An arrangement of American Beauty roses 
photographed in natural color and reproduced with wonderful fidelity. 
Indian Summer. We had intended to use as our third picture a col¬ 
ored reproduction of a bouquet of glads and perennial asters similar to 
the one pictured in black and white in our catalog last year but an 
early frost this season (September 15 th) robbed us of our glads before 
the asters came into bloom. However we have no apologies to offer 
for the beautiful still-life we are using instead. An interesting compo¬ 
sition of a few sleek ears of red, gold, and variegated flint corn, a 
Hubbard squash, a pie pumpkin and a few bright maple leaves serves 
to bring home the beauty often overlooked in many so-called prosaic 
things. 
These pictures are not small, being as large as can be conveniently 
hung in available wall spaces in the average home. The rose picture 
is even large enough to be hung over many mantels. Suggestions for 
appropriate framing will be included with each set of pictures. 
ALL THREE OF THESE PICTURES SENT ABSOLUTELY FREE 
With a $3.00 Order from This Fall Circular. (Or any ONE with a $1.50 Order.) 
Limit: two sets or a total of six pictures 
to a customer. Tell your friends about 
this amazingly generous offer 
Note: We do not break sets of 
pictures (i.e. send two of one 
kind and omit some other 
one) when sending a set as 
a premium on a $3.00 
bulb order. However, if 
you desire an extra copy 
of some one picture, 
vou can get it by taking a premium on a 
$ 1.50 order in addition to your $3.00 
order (i.e. your order must total 
$ 4 . 50 ). With a $6.00 order you 
may have two sets of pictures 
(the maximum to a custo¬ 
mer). Please observe these 
rules as the pictures are 
costing us so much that 
we cannot burden our 
office with any corres-
