FULL DESCRIPTIVE LIST 
PROPAGATION: Fast, moderate and 
slow propagators have been listed by us 
for several years. We are omitting propa¬ 
gation in general but will send a catalogue with this information to all who write for 
same. We will discontinue this due to the fact that we wish to use the averaged 
experiences that may result from the work of the Cooperators Test Gardens. 
INCLUDING PRICE LIST OF ASSORTED 
DOZENS which contain 2 bulbs of each of 
the six sizes. We will sell an assorted 
half dozen at one-half the dozen rate price. 
One-half dozen will consist of one bulb of 
each of the six sizes as No. 1-2-3-4-5-6. 
ALBATROSS BULBLETS: Planted in May 
and the photograph taken in Septem¬ 
ber 1937. Measuring from the ground 
to the tips of the leaves of these plants 
most of them are from three to three 
and one-half feet long. Albatross 
seldom flowers from bulblets, how¬ 
ever, here and there you will notice a 
tall spike. Notice the even uniform 
growth of plants. No irrigation was 
used. There is another view of this 
field of Albatross elsewhere in the 
catalogue. 
ASSORTED DOZENS 
ASSORTED DOZENS as offered in the following descriptive list consist of two 
bulbs of each of the six standard sizes giving you a total of 12 bulbs from No. 1 size 
down to and including No. 6 size. You can plant these at one time, the larger bulbs 
will flower first and give you the largest bloom, the smaller bulbs will flower later 
and, while not producing such tall spikes as the larger bulbs, will produce valuable 
bloom after the large bulbs have finished flowering. With most varieties an assorted 
dozen will give you a long season of flowers, perhaps a month or more. As the price 
is established at the 10 rate for each size, you get a very low price for one dozen 
bulbs. If you so desire we will sell you V 2 dozen, assorted. This will consist of 1 
bulb of each of the six sizes; not less than six sold. It often happens that we may 
be short of some one size; we will then make up in added value in the other sizes. 
GENERAL DESCRIPTIVE LIST

been called the giant of the prim-grand class; one of the most popular glads

ner; read on another page about winning the championship prize at Columbus, 
Ohio in 1937. Often attains 6 feet under good culture; dark green, healthy, 
extra heavy foliage; very resistant to the action of frost. Florets often 62 or 
more, spike nearly always straight, strong and upright, yet willowy and grace¬ 
ful. Florets well placed and spaced. Its coloring has always made a strong

the reverse side of petals are as beautiful as the face of the flower, lending 
great exhibition beauty to baskets and vases. An outstanding national prize 
winner. Assorted dozen bulbs 40c.
