DREER'S GOLD MEDAL GLADIOLI Our Gold Medal Blends are made up entirely of named sorts, grown separately and blended according to a carefully considered formula, so that there may be a proper balance of the various colorings and shad- ings. The four sections are entirely free from Primu- linus sorts, or as free as it is humanly possible to keep them. We have found through bitter experi- ence that it is impracticable, and indeed impossible, to offer Gladioli that have been grown in mixture, with any degree of satisfaction to either ourselves or our customers. Such mixtures soon become loaded with undesirable but rapidly propagating sorts and the whole color scheme is thereby thrown out of perspective. In our blends we use only the finest named kinds and no variety enters into them that is not large flowering, with attractive color, good texture, spike and placement. All are sorts that are well worth growing individually. Section One. The range of coloring extends from rich rose, through old rose, rose ash, orange scarlet and bright red, to deep crimson and velvety maroon. 45 cts. per doz.; $ per 100; $ per 1000. Section Two. From palest blush to warm deep pink and soft rose, from cream and primrose to citron yellow and salmon orange, together with snowy and tinted whites and other sorts splashed or stained with deeper blending shades, the colorings of our Gold Medal No. 2 Blend carry always a strong appeal. 45 cts. per doz.; $ per 100; $ per 1000. Section Three. Pale lavender, deep blue, lilac, helio- trope and amaranth, with velvety royal purple,— all of the rich "Pansy" shades have been garnered for this blend. 60 cts. per doz.; $ per 100; $ per 1000. All Sections Mixed. An actual mixing in due propor- tion of bulbs from the three numbered blends. If you want all of the possible Gladiolus colorings, you should find them here. 45 cts. per doz.; $ per 100;
