Gladiolt area! herons [Ee vot bl Begonias 2 
Except for an excellent mixture of named varieties we are not offering Giant 
Breeder Gladioli. This decision has been in the making a long time—Giant 
Glads have been too big and are getting bigger; they are of no use in the 
perennial border; their chief value is as a cut flower during the heat of 
summer. Our Breeder Mixture, planted every two weeks until July 15, will 
produce an excellent succession of blooms for cut flowers until frost. On the 
other hand, Miniature Gladioli have great charm and delicacy and are 
useful almost anywhere. We shall futurely spend our time in the develop- 
ment of these appealing flowers. 
Your special attention is called to the Tuberous Rooted Begonia list. They 
are all Camellia-Rose types and the tubers, only one year old, are the cream 
of the U.S. crop. The named varieties are all true to color and type and we 
look forward to a long and great list of distinctive new ones year after year. 
The development of this Begonia has amazed the horticultural world in the 
past. These new flowers, however, are just as revolutionary as anything the 
hybridizers have yet done. 
GIANT AMERICAN BREEDER GLADIOLI 
Mixture Doz. 95c, 25 $1.80, 100 $7.00 
This Is a service offer to those of our customers who are 
not Gladioli hobbyists but who want a succession of 
bloom in this type of flower for cutflowers. It contains 
omy No. 1 bulbs of twenty top varieties with a heavy 
loading of whites and ivories. 
GLADIOLI (Miniatures) 
The miniature, branching Gladiolus is a very desirable 
flower. It is decorative indoors without being overpower- 
ing. The bulbs are somewhat smaller than ordinary No. 1 
bulbs but every one of them will produce a spike of 
high quality. Demand for miniatures, even though many 
are expensive, is so heavy that we shall be able to fill 
only a portion of the orders this season. So, again, order 
early.

TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS 
For those who demand the finest we are offering a series 
of named varieties in the Camellia or Rose form. Each 
will be true to color. Equally unusual are the Camellia- 
Rose types, not in named varieties, which we can supply 
in shades in immense tubers. Tubers of these are giants, 
all only one year old, are specially selected out of hun- 
dreds of thousands of seedlings. We don’t know where 
else you can get tubers of this size, each of which lit- 
erally will produce a bush. 
CAMELLIA-ROSE FORMS, Named Varieties 
These doubles are absolutely true to color and form and are 
invaluable for shaded window box or patio plantings. Tubers 
are not graded for size but all are large and will produce 
splendid plants. These are rarities and like all rarities they are 
very scarce and orders should be placed earliest. 
Santa Maria Each $1.75 
A huge and heavily ruffled double Camellia-type white. 
Santa Barbara Each $1.75 
Ditto in delicate yellow. 
Santa Margarita Each $1.75 
Pastel pink, fully double and heavily ruffled. 
Santa Clara Each $1.75 
The same in delicate apricot. 
Red Triumph Each $1.75 
Ruby-red velvet. 
CAMELLIA-ROSE TYPES, Unnamed 
These can be ordered in shades of Red, Rose, Pink and 
Yellow. Also a fine White. Each of these giant tubers will 
produce a huge plant. For results they are much less 
expensive than smaller cheaper tubers selling for 40 to 
60 cents. Tuber diameters are 2% inches and up, mostly 
up. Order by shade but as these are scarce every year 
please indicate second and third choice of color. 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00
