OUR "REPRESSION SPECIAL" 
Buying, as we do, a large number of glads each year for trial, we have 
accumulated small quantities of a largo number of varieties,- old and new, 
common and rare, good and fair,(the poorest have been thrown away)in all col¬ 
ors and shades. Economy in production requires that v/e cut down on the num¬ 
ber of varieties we are growing. In many of those varieties we have too few 
bulbs to list them in our price-list. But to growers who are interested in 
getting a lot of different varieties at bargain prices, we are making this 
offer: 
Send us any amount of money you care to, from $2.00 up, ask us for our "De¬ 
pression Special"and we will mail you, postage paid, an assortment of varieties 
some of which may be on the inclosed list, but many of which will not be. Each 
variety will be labeled with name and color. Bulbs v;ill be of various sizes. 
Bulblets will not be included unless requested. We guarantee that you will re¬ 
ceive considerably more in value than you can by buying from any catalog, AI'JD, 
IN ADDITION, we will send free v;ith each (?2,00 of your order for this special, 
a bulblet'.of Shirley Temple, listed by all growers at each. We v/ill not, 
of course, make a cent on this offer, but we hope it vdll bring a groat deal of 
pleasure to many of our amateur customers. We may happen to duplicate some of 
the varieties you already have, but even if we do you will bo getting new bulbs 
at a very low price.

ches and up; No. 2 is 1^ to 1^ in.; No, 3 is 1 to 1-1^ in.; No, 4 is 3/4 to 1 
in.; No. 5 is •§■ to 3/4 in,; and No, 6 is l/3 to ^ in. Those sizes should all 
bloom this year, except the No, 6, and many of these v/ill bloom if planted 
early and given good care. However, the spikes from the smaller sizes vdll be 
smaller than spikes from the larger sizes.
