How to make out your order for Gove Gladiolus
. . . to get all you're entitled to

ON ORDER FORM write or type
clearly and completely, mail as
early as possible, preferably with
payment in full.

PUT DOWN AN ENTRY from
price list in each of the columns on
order blank for each variety. (It
helps us if you separate retail items
from quantity items.)

OUR POLICY ON EXTRAS AND
COUNT: On quantity orders we
put in 5% extra count. On retail
items tell us if you prefer extra
count or other extras.

We put in some extras on all orders
of $3 or more except on collections.
These are big value as is. No dis-
count on collections except the 10%
for fall orders.

PAYMENT: Orders fully paid in
advance save us time and expense
and so earn most extras for you.
But we'll ship retail orders C.O.D.
if you wish, provided you send
deposit of at least $1 with order or
25% on orders of $4.00 or more.
Of course you also pay C.O.D. fee
to postman on delivery, plus balance
**"due on order. You ‘save. C.0.D:
costs by paying in advance.

MINIMUM ORDER: We appreci-
ate your courtesy in sending orders
totaling $3.00 or more, because
smaller orders cost so much to
handle they eat up all the profit. It
also helps very much if no single

entry for a variety is less than 25c
except in a few cases where priced
lower. We cannot accept orders for
10 or 15 cent items.

SHIPPING CHARGES: Items
ordered at RETAIL are shipped
at our expense anywhere. Items
ordered at quantity prices are
shipped at YOUR expense. If order
has both retail and quantity items,
we ship at your expense but put in
extras to make up for postage we
don’t have to pay (but if you prefer
we can ship retail separate from
quantity). See order blank for free
bulbs if you pay postage on retail
orders.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF OR-
DERS: We acknowledge each order
by card or invoice promptly with
an order number. KEEP it for future
reference, and if you need to write
us PLEASE BE SURE to give order
number.

AIR MAIL: From a distance air
mail may save you several days in
getting bulbs. But don’t send
special delivery; we get regular mail
faster.

ORDER EARLY: Though we have
perhaps the largest assortment of
glads anywhere in the world, we
always sell out on some varieties.
To be sure of getting your favorites,
and of earning the 10% discount on
paid bulb orders of $6.00 or more,
mail order by Dec. 31, 1960.

Lo if Ch ¥1S imas Let us help you with your Christmas gifts. For a garden-

ing friend what would please him or her more than a
gift of bulbs. We send a beautiful card announcing the gift and then send the bulbs
later. Or we can send a gift certificate for the recipient to order from the catalog
later. In this way he can select just what he wants.

When the bulbs bloom they will be a pleasant reminder of you.

Or Maple Syrup is a grand gift. Everyone likes Maple Syrup but few have
tasted the real Fancy grade that we sell. This grade is not usually sold as very little
is made.

Also Maple Candy or Sugar as listed with the syrup on page 11.

75-CENT LONG SEASON SPECIALS

To have blooms of a certain variety over a long period I want to especially recommend the
following collections. These consist of various sizes of bulbs of each variety. There are usually one
or more large bulbs, some medium and some small. If you are not in the habit of buying medium
or small bulbs you will be amazed at the fine blooms you will get from these. And if there is a par-
ticular variety that you especially like you can have blooms of this variety over a much longer
period than you could if you planted all one size. I can’t give you the exact number of bulbs that
you will receive in each lot because the varieties vary somewhat in price but you may be assured
that you will get big value. LEAVE IT TO ME. We put in more medium and small than large
bulbs. DON’T ASK ME HOW MANY BULBS THERE ARE IN EACH SET. THEY VARY
ACCORDING TO THE PRICE OF THE VARIETY. WE GIVE VERY GOOD VALUE.

REMEMBER EACH 75-CENT SPECIAL IS ONLY ONE VARIETY AND NOT AN
ASSORTMENT OF SEVERAL VARIETIES OR OF ALL OF THEM. Each special consists of
various sizes of just ONE VARIETY. Select as many as you wish. But remember they are 75 cents
for each one. Any FIVE lots for $3.50. Any TEN lots for $6.50 or any FIFTEEN for $9.00. If you
buy several lots I will put in something good for you to try out.

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 varie-
ties 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.

In spite of continually rising costs I have not raised prices of collections for several years. But
this year due to the raise in postal rates and to our bulbs being heavier than usual I have had to raise
the prices of the #1 and 1A collections below.

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
$6.50, with 50 at the same rate, 30 for $2.20. 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 $4.50, 50 for $2.25. With 100 bulbs will give a free bulb as in Star Collection No. 1.

The above two are our biggest bargains. The price has not been raised in years. They
are made up mostly from varieties selling for $1.30 and .85c per 10 and others of that value
with some worth even more if sold under name.

STAR COLLECTION No. 1B. Small bulbs. This fall I have a swell lot of small bulbs in a great
variety of color and form. We do not guarantee every one of these bulbs to bloom this coming year but
most of them should and they will make fine large bulbs for next season. This is the size that we growers
plant and our fields are a mass of bloom. These little bulbs will greatly surprise you with their beauti-
ful bloom. 100 for $2.75—no split collection orders. 100 or multiples of 100. 200 for $5.00. Many
fine varieties in this collection.

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 gladiolus. 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 pro-
portion to dark colors. Hence this offering. It contains 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

DARK-COLORED COLLECTION No. 5A. Medium size. The same as No. 5 collection but
may contain even more varieties than the No. 5.
100 for $6.00 50 for $3.00 25 for $1.75

SUPER-DUPER COLLECTION No. 7. This is the last word in an unlabeled collection. It
contains bulbs worth as much as $1.00-$2.00 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

A NEW COLLECTION—SEEDLINGS. When we grow thousands of seedlings we can intro-
duce under name only a very few, tho many of them are as good as many varieties on the market
or better. There are all colors and types. Not less than 25 sold, so as to give you a good assortment.
25-$2.50, 50-$4.75, 100—$8.00 all prepaid.

“Bought my first Glads from you about 1932. Have never been disappointed.”
—L. C. Cook, Ohio

“| readily appreciate your bulbs as giving me the finest | occasionally buy.”’
—Ch. Zimmerman

This picture shows the type of growth of the Lin’s Peonies

If you do not grow peonies you should. They are about fool proof, need little care and will

bloom for many years without replanting.

These I am offering are not the cheap run of the mill kinds but just the best to be had from
Mr. Lins, one of the leading breeders. At the Minneapolis Show in 1958 the Grand Champ was
Gardenia and several of the color champs were from Mr. Lins’ garden.

Mr. Lins’ peonies are noted for their strong stems that hold the blooms erect.

Peonies are not suitable for the far South as they have to freeze in the winter.

Send your orders at once so the roots can get established this fall.

BLUE ROSE A large full double, deep rose,
which carries more blue than any other peony
we know of. Is sweetly rose fragrant. Stems are
willowy, not as stiff as some other Lins varie-
ties, but about like stems of Old Lace. Color,
size and fragrance impels those who see it, to
want it. $10.00 each.

BURMA Large brilliant deep double red.
Mid-season. Has good form, heavy substance
and strong stems. Has won many blue ribbons
and show championships during the past several
years. Before being fully established it will
produce some blooms not full double. $3.95.

CASABLANCA Giant fully double white with
good form, substance and strong stems. An
adventure in peony growing. Late mid-season.
$4.95.

14

DOLORADEL Giant well formed fully double
rich vivid pink with heavy stems. Foliage way
to ground. Late mid-season. Wonderful variety.
$4.95.

Pauses - Oregou Giants

Why not grow some pansies. They are liked by every-
one. They will give more garden pleasure for the money and
time invested than most any other flower I can think of.
Pansies start blooming in very early spring and continue till
really hot weather and with some shade will bloom all summer.
The colors of this ELLIS strain which I carry are very beautiful
and up to 4 inches and over in size.

The ELLIS strain is the best I have found and cheaper
than some others. Our beds are a mass of bloom every fall
till really cold weather sets in. In the north we start them in
July and August and in the greenhouse in winter. Farther south
you can start them most anytime.

There is good money raising the plants for sale as they
sell like hot cakes as soon as they start blooming. We can
ship seed immediately at any time. Pkt. of 500 or more seeds
with growing instructions $1.00 - 14 oz. $6.00 - 1 oz.
$12.00. Supply limited this year so order early.

“We raised these pansies to sell for Memorial Day. They were so beautiful we sold out two
weeks before. | can’t say enough about them. Thanks.” —Mrs. William Leighton, Maine

“The Oregon Giants out-perform any pansy plants | raise in size, color and vigor. The demand for
them keep people coming back to me for the plants.”’ —Mrrs. Edwin Deckard, Va.

“AIl of the bulbs we bought from you last year did fine.”’ —Norton Varl, Penna.

LABELS

Everyone who grows bulbs under name will want labels. There are many different kinds on
the market but I think the best cheap label is a painted wooden one. However, the wooden labels,
really should have a coat of varnish after the name is written, otherwise the paint will in time
weather off taking the name with it.

Prices are as follows, and subject to change without notice.

WIRED TREE LABELS. 314 x % inch copper wired. 50 for 60 cents. $1.20 per 100 and 500 for
$5.50. 1,000 for $9.00.

JIFFY-POTS

If you have any potting to do here is a must.
These wonderful new pots from Norway are made
of 75% peat and 25% wood fibre, to which soluble
fertilizers have been added. Roots grow thru the
pots permitting repotting into larger pots or to the
field just as they are without disturbing the plant
Just the thing for starting those new, high priced
bulblets. Start the plants in the pots and then at

Some of the largest florists in the country use
them and say that besides giving better growth of
the plants that they save immensely in labor.

They are inexpensive, light weight, long
lasting, provide good root aeration, need less
water and save time. The growth is 50% faster than in clay pots.

“AIl glad bulbs we have received from you have done very well. The Tri Tone and Superba that
