Special Collections and Sets 
| UNLABELED COLLECTIONS : 
The following collections are just the thing for those who don’t care to keep the 
names of the varieties separate, but do want a nice garden of glads. I sell thousands 
of these collections every year and have a great many fine reports on them. If these 
bulbs were sold separately under name they would cost several times the price asked 
as collections. No extras on collections except as noted. They are very big value 
as is. Shipped prepaid. | 
These unlabeled collections are better than ever this year, with many new 
varieties in them never used before. You would be amazed if you knew some of the 
varieties in the Deluxe and Super-Duper collections Though prices have had to be 
raised in some cases, these collections are the same as in past years. Big Value. 
EXTRA!! EXTRA!! 
If you order $25. worth of the collections I will put in free a bulb of a — 
new 1956 Introduction, of my selection, worth $2. Considering the special 
prices on the collections this is a real offer. | 
STAR COLLECTION No. 1. 100 assorted large bulbs (114 inch up) in about 
40 varieties in many different shades and colors. I have sold this collection for years 
and have thousands of very well pleased customers. I POSITIVELY GUARANTEE 
THAT THERE IS NOT A BETTER COLLECTION SOLD BY ANY GROWER 
IN THE COUNTRY FOR ANYWHERE NEAR THE PRICE. The collection 
varies from year to year but always contains a great variety of colors and many 
fine varieties. I get many repeat orders every year from well pleased customers. 
100 for $6.00, with 50 at the same rate, 30 for $2.00. With each 100 bulbs of 
this collection I will put in FREE 1 bulb of some other fine variety of my selection, 
labeled worth at least $1.00. 
STAR COLLECTION No. 1A. SAME COLLECTION IN MEDIUM SIZE 
BULBS. 100 bulbs for $4.00, 50 for $2.00. With 100 bulbs will give a free bulb 
as in Star Collection No. 1. | 
DE LUXE COLLECTION No. 3. 40 or more varieties, many of them being 
exhibition sorts and worth several times the price asked. Real aristocrats in gladi- 
olus. 100 for $12.00, 50 for $6.00, 25 for $3.00. 
DARK-COLORED COLLECTION No. 5. Here is a new unlabeled collection 
that will appeal to many people. It contains no white or light colors. Most people 
have too many light ones in proportion to dark colors. Hence this offering. It con- 
tains some high priced varieties worth several times the cost of them here. About 
40 varieties in a collection. 
100 for $10.00 — 50 for $5.00 25 for $3.00

SUPER-DUPER COLLECTION No. 7. This is the last word in an unlabeled 
collection. It contains bulbs worth as much as $2.00-$3.00 each. Some of the very 
newest and a well rounded assortment as to color and form. 
100 for $25.00 | 50 for $12.50 25 for $7.50 
NONE OF THE ABOVE COLLECTIONS ARE LABELED AS TO VARIE- 
TIES. Don’t ask us to give you the names of the varieties in the collections as we 
positively do not do it at these prices. If you want them labeled, buy them under 
name. I guarantee the collections to be the best you can buy for the price. There 
are no extras on these collections except as noted. |
