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, | 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 | 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. I 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.

EARLY ORDERS FOR 1955 
I do not issue a fall catalog and | find that some customers wish to place 
their order, or a part of it, before my catalog is out. Some want shipment in the 
late fall. So for the benefit of those who wish to order that early for 1955, I will 
say that you can send your orders according to this catalog and if the 1955 price 
on any item is lower, I will refund the difference, give overcount, or do whatever 
you direct. And if any price should be higher you need pay no more. Orders 
received in the late summer or early fall will necessarily have to be accepted 
subject to my being able to harvest sufficient stock to fill them for I do not buy 
bulbs with which to fill orders. All orders will be filled in order received. 
JOIN A GLADIOLUS SOCIETY 
No matter how few glads you grow, it will add much to your enjoyment and 
info-mation to join one or more of the Gladiolus Societies. We have two major 
societies, the NEw ENGLAND GLApIoLUS Society, Florence E. Butterfield, Member- 
ship Secretary, Horticultural Hall, 300 Massachusetts Ave., Boston 15, Mass., and 
the NorTH AMERICAN GLADIOLUS CounciL, Henry Sentman, Membership Secre- 
tary, 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 of these publications are included in your membership 
and are very interesting and instructive. Many of these societies have combination 
membership offers which reduce the dues somewhat.
