Oregon Rose 
Featured in our 1947 Catalog, our experience with it this year makes us all the 
‘more certain that it is as yet the rose colored glad that is indispensible. Besides its 
appealing color, it possesses great durability, the floret texture being such that it lasts 
better than any other glad we grow. Since it can open 10 easily it is a natural for 
arrangements, and a bowl or basket of a dozen spikes or more makes an unforgettable 
picture. 
Errey's Scarlet 
- «A bold, yivid, velvety textured flower, non-crooking and with every bud showing 
color, in spite of all the newer ones that we have grown and admired, it is, for us, the 
best scarlet we have grown. We have reduced the price by half so that you may plant 
it liberally. A medium size bulb will make a grand spike of color. 
| The Gladland Mixture 
Last year'we failed to starf digging early enough so the last bulbs were not lifted 
from the fields until early February. We knew that many bulbs were left in the ground 
—especially since the soil was water-saturated and many would cling to the mud. We 
left one field of 4 acres unplowed, and on September 2nd we began digging the vol- 
unteer bulbs (bulbs do not normally freeze in the Willamette Valley of Oregon). 
These are the bulbsywhich go into the Gladland Mixture. We should have marked 
many of these while intbloom, as this past month we noted Eglantine, Tunia’s Mahomet, 
Frilled Fragrance, Snow Cruiser, Red Rose, and many other scarce and costly varieties, 
but daylight hours were not enough to do this, and still do all of the necessary work 
that an acreage producing 6,000,000 bulbs requires, so into the mixture they go. A 
visitor from Ohio, who saw the volunteer stand commented that this ground actually 
had more bulbs growing on it than he was able to get on the same acreage when he 
carefully planted and tended a bulblet crop. 
A representative of a famous catalog house who saw this field at the height of its 
bloom, when told that the Gladland Mixture was made up of the bulbs grown from this 
field, immediately contracted for this mixture supply, and when we last saw him, he 
was still trying to find adjectives that would adequately describe its De Luxe Quality. 
We are not even trying to find adjectives—all we need to say is that it will contain only 
varieties listed in our 1947 catalog—plus a possible few that were not included because 
of insufficient stock. If we are able to get these cured, cleaned and graded (as we 
hope) by Dec. Ist—shipments will be made by express before Dec. 15th. Otherwise 
we will send on requested date in the spring. If desired by parcel post add 50c per lot 
to cover postage. 
The price this year will be $5.00 per lot. Each lot will contain your choice of 100 
> large, or 175 medium, or 300 small bulbs, or 1 quart of bulblets. As many lots as you 
like—but no quantity discount. We guarantee at least 25 distinct varieties in each lot. 
These would make grand Xmas presents.
