KAYLOR NURSERIES, LAKEWOOD, WASH. 3 

We Introduce 
Some New Glads 
Perhaps we had better tell you our nur- 
sery stock is grown without “petting’’—no 
extra fertilizing and no irrigating We fol- 
low this system so as to give you plants 
and bulbs that can fight their own battles, 
can “take it” and still give good perfor- 
mance. 
Our descriptions are written on perfor- 
mance under these conditions and if you 
have the time and inclination to give your 
garden some extra petting you will get 
larger flowers than we do under our field 
conditions. 
Every year we test a number of the new 
and much publicized garden novelties. Some 
make good; others are discarded. If you do 
not find in this cataloog the things you 
have read about, write and ask us why. We 
shall tell you. 
Tah-lah-ne-ka 
Quite a mouthful, this Indian word mean- 
ing yellow money or golden treasure, but 
we give it to a new golden glad with a feel- 
ing that it fits. Dr. C. M. Miller, Everett, 
Wash., is the originator and for the past 
four years we have been growing it under 
field conditions identical with those sur- 
rounding other top-notch yellow varieties. 
We have no hesitancy in saying that for all- 
around performance it tops the lot. Grows 
five feet tall. Flower head 26 inches, 22 
buds, eight wide open florets in the field, 
florets 64%2x5 inches with position and tex- 
ture almost perfect. Too deep for yellow, 
not quite deep enough for gold, just a bit 
deeper in throaot but almost self color. 
Disease resistant, good propagator and flor- 
ists take every spike they can get. Bulbs 
one inch and larger, $2.00 each. No medium 
or smalls for sale this year. 
Mt. Index 
East of Everett stands Mt. Index, its tall, 
steep, snow covered spire pointing the way 
upward from the surrounding mountains of 
the Cascade range. This new white and gold 
glad, originated by Dr. C. M. Miller and de- 
veloped by us, leads the way upward. A 
Maid of Orleans-Magna Blanca seedling it 
has the creamy-white color of The Maid, but 
in addition its throat is marked with a 
glowing golden feathered blotch. Heavier 
texture than The Maid and a little earlier, 
it blooms well from medium and small bulbs. 
Plant is more than five feet tall with a 26- 
inch flowerhead carrying 22 buds of which 
six will open in the field. Size 5%2x6 inches. 
Large bulbs, $1.25; mediums, $1.00; smalls, 
75¢. 
General List of Glads 
Large bulbs (L) are from one and one- 
fourth to two inches in diameter. Mediums 
(M) are three-fourths to one inch and smalls 
(S) are about one-half inch. A planting of 
all three sizes, made at one time, will pro- 
vide bloom from early to late. Our Assorted 
Tens are made up of all three sizes and sell 
at the same price as ten mediums of any 
given variety. Try them. 
We sometimes have to substitute sizes, 
but never varieties unless your order comes 
late in the season. Order early and please 
remember no single item less than 10 cents 
and orders of $1.00 or less carry a service 
charge of 25 cents extra. 
Warning! No matter where your bulbs 
come from, whether you grow them yourself 
or buy them, save yourself a heartache by 
treating them before planting. Dissolve one 
ounce of Corrosive sublimate in a small 
quantity of hot water,,add seven gallons of 
cold water and soak bulbs for ten hours. 
Plant while still wet. Or one teaspoonful 
of crude Carbolic Acid—Lysol or some other 
form—to one quart of water and soak eight 
hours. Both solutions are poison and should 
be kept at a temperature of about 70 de- 
grees and in non-metal containers. 
Prices—In all cases, 2, 5 or more mean 
that many of one and not several kinds. All 
varieties marked with a * are priced as 
follows: Large, 2 for 12c, 5—25c, 10—45c, 
25—90c, 100—$2.75. Mediums, 5—15c, 20— 
50c. Smalls, 10—25c, 50—$1.00. These prices

flower with its cream throat and break of 
day beauty. Plenty open on good stems and 
a good performer. L, 1-25c; M, 1-15c; S,
