PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS—S/wce 1906 
For a Rainbow of Color—Plant Gladioli 
Gladiola—Picardy 
Perfection Brand Gladioli Bulbs 
Plant in the spring when all danger of 
frost is over. Plant bulbs four to eight inches 
apart in the row and from three inches deep 
in heavy soil, to five inches deep in lighter, 
sandy soil; the deeper planting will keep the 
plants from falling over at blooming time. 
Keep soil well worked: keep soil crust from 
forming in the rows after rains or other 
watering. Our bulbs are grown in Oregon, 
where the soil and climate are especially 
adapted to producing strong, healthy bulbs.

DISEASE AND SURE TO BLOOM.

HYDRATED LIME 
An occasional application of Hydrated 
Lime on the lawn will correct acidity 
in the soil. Acid soils are usually caused 
by constant sprinkling and very often 
in shaded places of the lawn will be 
found a surface growth of green moss. 
Hydrated Lime will correct this by sim¬ 
ply being applied on the surface and 
sprinkled. It loosens up heavy soils and 
prevents packing, baking and cracking. 
It promotes the normal decay of organic 
matter in the soil. It requires about 
one-half as much Hydrated Lime as 
any other form of lime to produce same 
results. Price for 10 lb. pkg., 20c each; 
40 lb. bags, 45c.
