wtih your order of $3.00 with each ribbon, or for each 
Sweepstake or Champion Ribbon $10.00 worth free. Rib-

Our ‘Glad’? Home 
This is the building where your orders are handled, 
where the bulbs are stored and from which they are ship- 
ped. It is built of concrete and hollow tile brick. The bulbs 
are well cared for in the large storage rooms and base- 
ments. Only careful and expert help is employed. 
ELLIS ORIGINATIONS 
We are often asked as to which of our Glad Originations 
we consider best. Judging from the Blue Ribbons they 
have received, also from the many fine letters we have 
gotten through the years from growers in many states and 
countries, together with their performance in our own 
gardens, we especially recommend: New Era, Wing's of 
Song, Golden Chimes, James Fitz James, Blueblood, 
Bonneville, Abe, Old Faithful, Royal Pink, Spanish Cava- 
lier, Eric the Red, Coral Glow, Vista Bonita, Chief Mult- 
nomah, Red Roy, Golden Fleece, Commodore, Mountain 
Girl, Whispering Hope, J. D. Sez, White Eagle, Ivory Keys, 
Yellow Peril, Linda Vista, Marlyn, Ranza, Goal, Nelda. 
For prices on the above and many other fine varieties, 
we refer you to our Bulbalog, which is issued several times 
a year and is free on request.
