$10.00 WHOLESALE COLLECTIONS 
One of the problems of large Gladiolus 
growers is to sell out all kinds and sizes as 
evenly as possible. 
No two seasons alike, as to demand. One 
year certain kinds will be called for on most 
every order, while other kinds, even better 
and no higher in price, will be “wall flow¬ 
ers.” 
Next year many kinds that sold slowly 
the year before are in great demand. Never 
can tell. Often no reason or sense. Just 
happens. 
Here’s my plan to help equalize our Glad 
stocks, and keep many kinds moving more 
uniformly. 
The plan is figured to your advantage as 
well as ours. Otherwise it would be a flop. 
THIS IS THE PLAN: For $10.00 I will 
ship you by express, you pay express, 500 
Glad bulbs, part No. 1 and part No. 2 sizes, 
the total value of the 500 bulbs figuring not 
less (probably more) than $15.00 at my f. o. 
b. 100 rates. 
We select the varieties, sizes and quan¬ 
tities. All bulbs will be plainly labeled, giv¬ 
ing the variety name, the size and the quan¬ 
tity in each bag.

There will not be an equal number of No. 
1 and No. 2 bulbs. There will not be the 
same quantity of each variety. 
But there will be 10 or more varieties in 
the Collection. Maybe just a few of some 
kinds, and more of others. But a good as¬ 
sortment of good kinds. 
You can figure the total value in a few 
minutes as soon as you open up the package. 
(You’ll be surprised.) 
Now there you are. No less than $10.00 
worth sold this way. Two Collections, 
$20.00, three for $30.00, and so on. No dis¬ 
count, no matter how many you take. BUT, 
still more extra count will be sent if you 
order 2 or more of these $10.00 Collections. 
You are taking one of the “Long” chances 
I’ve talked about in the past, and that many 
have taken—and been “tickled pink.” 
500 bulbs, all No. 2 or larger, value not 
less than $15.00, f. o. b. for $10.00, express 
collect. 
NOTE: I reserve the right to return 
money and cancel orders received after 
stocks sold too low to spare more of these 
Collections.
