We are listing here some of the very best of the 
Glads. If you will compare them with the regular

They are made up. of varkrus si'je bulbs so you can see 
them bloom at different times and under different 
conditions and the bulblet stock and small bulbs will 
give you a fine start for another season. 
Set 14. Coral Glow (Ellis). This is one of the very 
best of the Ellis Originations, and so far as we have 
been able to see, it tops the orange class. It is a very 
vigorous grower with dark green leaves, and is prolific.

and unsurpassed in color. We have received many fine 
reports on this variety. 1 large bulb, 5 medium, 25 
small and 100 bulblets, all for $4.00. 
Set 15. New Era (EUis). This was Grand Champion 
in the big Indiana show last summer and has won many 
awards and ribbons. This spring we had a. letter from 
an Eastern hybridizer saying he has tried hundreds of 
the best Glads and that New Era is the best of them all. 
Wonderful ruffling and color and on a warm day an 
armful of New Era will often have the fragrance of

bulblets for $1.75.

and 100 bulblets for $5.00. 
Set 17. Golden Chimes (Ellis). This has won so 
many ribbons that in Iowa, for the shows there. Golden

days in Oregon. 1 large, 5 medium, 25 small bulbs,
