SPECIAL OFFERS 
1. MIXTURE. This is a choice assortment of my own selection, 
made up largely from varieties which are listed in my catalogue at 
2—20¢. I do not put in more than five bulbs of any variety per hun- 
dred. Often as many as 40 to 50 varieties are included. I am able to 
make this offer because it enables me to keep my stock of bulbs in 
balance. This year my Choice Mixture is so much better than ever 
before that I must ask more than heretofore. This year they will sell 
at the rate of $4.50 per hundred, or $1.15 per 25 bulbs with not less 
than 20 varieties included. All mixtures are shipped parcel post, ship- 
ping charges to be paid by purchaser. Just a word about mixtures. 
MIXTURES: ‘What’s in a name,” say some people when pur- 
chasing glads, and ask for mixtures. Well, there may not be much in 
a name for some, but I believe that were these same people to grow 
named varieties, they would find the personalizing of their glads so 
much more interesting than a mixture, that they would never more 
ask for a mixture. A name on a glad tells as much as does a name 
attached to a person. What do we know about a person when he is 
referred to as a person? When his name is given, we know exactly 
who is meant, and what he is like. So with glads. It is so much more 
interesting to tell what your glad is like by calling it by name. A 
name is both an exact identification and description, and makes glad- 
iolus chat more interesting.
