Each year I have affered an unusual mixed collection of Gladiolus. But this 
year's collection will be by for the finest I hove ever offered, and at a price lower 
than ever. It will include many of the finest Gladiolus ever grown. More than 
one hundred extra choice varieties are being used to make up this superb 
mixture. The entire color range is included, such as the newer lavender, helio¬ 
trope, orchid, blue and purple shades, white, rose, salmon, red, pink, scarlet and 
Cardinal tones, soft and deep yellow ond oronge, o vast array of rainbow 
colors all mixed together in a well balanced collection. It will be entirely different 
from any collection I have ever sent out before. 
All are huge flowers of unbelievable size and great beauty, many flowers 
open at once. Every bulb is of large flowering size, just the right age to be 
full of pep and to give the finest results. All are healthy and clean and free 
from disease. 
For mass planting in the garden, or for cut flowers there is nothing finer. Due 
to the fact that the varieties in this collection have varying flowering periods, a 
60 day succession of bloom may be expected fram one planting. By making 
two or three plantings, 2 weeks apart, flawers may be had all summer long. 
Order os many collections as you can make room for. If you do not have 
room for 100, get your neighbor to join with you, but 100 Gladiolus require 
a space only 3 by 3 feet, and many gardens have room for several collections. 
LA FIESTA—See illustrotion above. The most remarkable color break yet pro¬ 
duced. The illustration does not show the color quite correctly os it is a true 
orange blend. 25c each; 3 for 60c; 6 for $1.10; 12 for $2.00. 
WORLD'S FAIR SOUVENIR 
My place of business on Long Island is just a short distance from the World's 
Fair Grounds. I hope every one of my customers visiting the World's Fair this 
Spring will take home with him one or more of these collections as a 
souvenir of their visit to the 1939 World's Fair. Of course others con have 
them sent by parcel post or express prepaid. 
JUST PUT THEM IN THE GROUND AND AWAIT RESULTS 
There is nothing easier ta graw or more sotisfoctory than Gladiolus. The 
superb flowers in this collection will add a magical spot of beauty in any part 
of your garden. Plant them anywhere, in clumps of a dozen or more or in solid 
beds or rows. As cut flowers you will find this collection superb. 
A pamphlet entitled "How to grow fine Gladiolus" will be enclosed in each 
package.
