varieties separate, but do want a nice garden of glads. | sell thousands of these collections every

NONE OF THE ABOVE COLLECTIONS ARE LABELED AS TO VARIETIES. Don’t ask 
us to give you the names of the varieties in the collections as we positively do not do it at these 
prices. If you want them labeled, buy them under name. | guarantee the collections to be the best 
you can buy for the price. 
No. 4. 60 cent Long Season Specials 
To have blooms of a certain variety over a long period | want to especially recommend the 
following collections. These consist of various sizes of bulbs of each variety. There are usually 
one or more large bulbs, some medium and some small. If you are not in the habit of buying medium 
or small bulbs you will be amazed at the fine blooms you will get from these. And if there is a 
particular variety that you especially like you can have blooms of this variety over a much longer 
period than you could if you planted all one size. 
| can’t give you the exact number of bulbs that you will receive in each lot because the varieties 
vary somewhat in price and | have a much larger stock of some kinds than of others but you may be 
assured that you will get big value. Leave it to me. We put in more medium and small than large bulbs 
Remember each 60 cent special is only one variety and not an assortment of several varieties 
or of all of them. Each special consists of various sizes of just one variety. Select as many as you 
wish. But remember they are 60 cents for each one. : 
Any five lots for $2.75. Any ten lots for $5.25 or any fifteen for $7.50. In addition to this if 
you buy several lots | will put in something good for you to try out.
