No. 4—Last spring when my quota of 
planting space was about filled and sell- 
ing season for bulbs about over, we found 
we had many small lots of bulbs left over, 
some varieties only a dozen or two, and 
others in larger quantity. Some of these 
were in the higher priced varieties listed 
as high as $1.00 per bulb or more. I put 
these bulbs in one mixture, regardless of 
price and planted them the first week in 
July, not being certain they would mature 
before heavy freezing. Fortunately we had 
a late fall and an excellent crop was 
harvested. We have less than 15,000 bulbs 
in this lot and are offering them while 
they last at $7.00 per 100 with a limit of 
200 bulbs to a customer. 
No. 5—There is a vast difference in taste 
when it comes to preferences in gladiolus. 
Some like mostly pastels and white, some 
the medium pinks and lighter reds, many 
complain that there are too many yellows 
ond orange shades in the average mixture 
offered. However a great many customers 
visiting our plantings to select varieties, 
want to know if there will be some of 
the deep colors and smokies in the mix- 
ture. For the benefit of those who like 
the dark colors and smokies we have 
made up a special mixture with some 
each of light colors and white, but with 
plenty of the deep and black reds, purples 
and smokies. Price—$6.00 per 100 large 
size.

of different varieties in their mixture we 
are offering an assortment containing one 
bulb each of 50 varieties, large bulbs for

Varieties will be of our choice and not
