Gladiolus Bulbs. Clean-up prices. We have 
more glad bulbs on hand than we have room

Planted at this late time they will come 
into flower more quickly than those planted 
early. There is the danger of thrips but all 
bulbs are treated—no thrips on the bulbs to 
start them. If you will water by overhead 
—any kind of sprinkler, 30 minutes every 
evening, you can have good flowers, undam¬ 
aged by thrips even in July and August. In 
interior valleys give even more water. Keep 
them wet, wash thrips away by sprinkling. 
Assorted Varieties, all gcod ones. Sizes 
to 1" or over but small and medium predom¬ 
inating (and the small ones will bloom well) 
—150 for $1.00. Larger sizes around 1"— 
100 for $1.00. Postpaid. This glad offer 
expires June 30, 1940.
