This collection is made up of varieties we are ‘“‘long”’ 
on (more often than not they are the most expensive 
ones), so you get a bargain collection of every color § 
of the rainbow and we balance our inventory. It is a 
good deal both ways. 
These are not seconds or culls or damaged roots. 
They are the regular high grade ones just as listed 
individually right on these pages. Come right out of 
the same fields at the same time. This is a good, hon- 
est, old-fashioned type Henry Field bargain. Supply 
limited.
