Collections are usually expected. Our prices are already so much lower than 
most prices that we cannot make the large discounts that are sometimes made. 
Since it is likely that a few surpluses may be apparent at digging time we will 
offer. 
Collection. Ten varieties, our selection, each rhizome labelled and they will 
not all be 15c sorts. Price $1.25. 
Gladiolus ; 
How to Grow Gladiolus. Glads planted Nov. 15 to Mar. 1 in Southern Cali- 
fornia and thruout the south (a little later in Northern California and early as 
possible in spring in the east) are reasonably sure to escape the attack of thrips. 
Our Glad bulbs are especially grown for this purpose, matured early and dug in 
August. But if you plant recently dug bulbs you will gain nothing; they will 
continue their rest of three months before starting. 
Thrips are very small insects that suck the juices from the plant. They 
cause the flowers to wither or appear burned, and appear only after weather
