SUPERIOR MIXTURE 
In case you do not care to bother with name tags, you can still have many of 
the finest of all glads in a complete range of colors. My stock this season is plenti- 
ful in some of the best of the standard named varieties, and it is from these that I 
will make up your mixture at the time it is shipped to you, and not from discarded 
varieties, as I do not grow such. I harvested a nice crop of the following colors: 
white, lavender, purple, red, yellow, blue, several pinks, orange, some good ruffled 
glads, cream, and rose, all of which are varieties named and described elsewhere in 
this catalog. There is therefore a good reason why my SUPERIOR MIXTURE is 
very popular with my customers. Order 100, or more, to get the full benefit of this 
fine mixture. Large, $5.00 per 100. Medium, $3.00 per 100. No. 5, $2.00 per 100, 
$15.00 per 1000. No. 6, $10.00 per 1000. All prepaid. 
RUFFLED MIXTURE 
This all-ruffled mixture will contain the following seven colors: lavender, 
orange, purple, red, yellow, white, and pink. You will be agreeably surprised at 
how well ruffled these up-to-date glads are. 75 Medium for $3.00. 75 Small bulbs 
for $2.00. Prepaid.

HINTS ON THE GROWING OF GLADS 
You cannot grow glad blooms successfully where you do not have success with 
the ordinary garden vegetables. Where tomatoes and sweet corn do well, that is 
where you can depend on good spikes of glads. Stay away from trees and partial 
shade, or where the soil is being robbed of plant food and soil moisture. Farm 
crops are failures near groves of trees. Glads are even more touchy.
