MIXED BULBS 
LARGE FLOWERING VARIETIES 
Since a great many people do not care to bother with the names of the various 
varieties, but just want something that will give them a fine lot of blooms, I will 
make up mixtures containing many colors and shades. These will NOT be labeled 
as to variety and they will not be just a few varieties of mostly two or three colors, 
as is many times the case, usually 40 or more varieties. I do not grow or have 
ready mixed bulbs, but make the mixtures for each order separately after order 
is received. If there is any color you do not like, just tell me and I will gladly 
leave it out, however, the selection of varieties must be left to me. These are the 
same bulbs you would buy if you ordered by name, only at a much lower price, since 
individual packing takes time and costs money. | sell a great many of these 
mixtures each year and have received many compliments. Many tell me that they 
and their friends have never seen anything like them.

“Undoubtedly you will recall that on March 2nd, I ordered 100 Medium 
Mixed Bulbs, requesting dark colors. Thought you might be interested to 
know that they proved all that could be expected and more, in fact, they took 
a “Blue Ribbon” at ...and the competition was stiff.”

JOIN A GLADIOLUS SOCIETY 
No matter how few glads you grow, it will add much to your enjoyment and 
information to join one or more of the Gladiolus Societies. We have two major 
societies, the NEw ENGLAND GtLaploLus Society, Florence E. Butterfield, Mem- 
bership Secretary, Horticultural Hall, 300 Massachusetts Ave., Boston 15, Mass., 
and the NorTH AMERICAN GLADIOLUS CounciL, Henry Sentman, Membership 
Secretary, 820 Ontario St., Havre de Grace, Md. There are also many state and 
local societies. The N. E. G. S. issues four magazines during the year in addition 
to an excellent yearbook. The N. A. G. C. issues four quarterly bulletins. Many 
of the state and some of the smaller societies issue some bulletins or magazines 
and some issue yearbooks also. All these publications are included in your member- 
ship and are very interesting and instructive. Many of these societies have 
combination membership offers which reduce the dues somewhat.
