FREE, WASHINGTON, D. C. HUNDRED AT THOUSAND PRICE 



First-class Certificate Haarlem, August 4, 1919. Its color is a shade brighter 

 than America, flowers twice as large as America and its habit of growth is 

 like America. It is as early as Halley and multiplies as Halley. In a few 

 years Le Marechal Foch will be growing all over the U. S. A., and when 

 you are talking about Gladioli you will talk about Le Marechal Foch, be- 

 cause it is the best fine pink color, very early, has extra shipping qualities, 

 and every first size bulb gives three and four strong flower spikes direct 

 out of the bulb. 



Never a Gladiolus has been introduced vrith such great trade possibilities. 



KT^l'l^.v _A I__>v_l' Last year we had several shipments for customers in the 



nonce re impOn u. S. a. ah have been inspected by the F. H. B. in Wash- 



ington and no pests at all have been found, so all customers have received the goods 

 in good condition. As the inspection by the F. H. B. is very exact, you have to be 

 sure that you get absolutely sound stuff. We therefore beg to inform you that you 

 cannot order Gladioli everywhere, because the inspection has to be done also on our 

 side very carefully, and although our cultures are absolutely pest free, we hand-select 

 all our bulbs before shipping. If you give us your order you can be sure that you will 

 have no trouble at all, as we know all about inspection, packing and shipping. Bulbs 

 for propagating are duty free. We are the largest stockholders of this variety and 

 guarantee true stock. Stock is very limited. 



l7_-i In.nA*.!' I loAxaa addrcss the Federal Horticultural Board in Washington, 

 ror impOn License d q., which gives it freely for this splendid variety. We 



allow 7% discount for cash with order, otherwise three months' credit with good 



references. Send your name for our list of fancy varieties.

here was interrupted by three inches 

 of rain up to .lanuary "), which is twice 

 the amount received up to that time 

 last year. It is hoped this proportion 

 will be maintained for the remainder of 

 the rainy season. The early rains have 

 greatly delayed the delivery by the L. 

 D. Waller Seed Co. of a few items 

 which were harvested late in the season. 

 Sweet pea i)lauting for the crop of 1921 

 is nearly completed by this firm and 

 certain varieties of flower seeds will 

 soon follow. The company is planning 

 for a normal acreage of all seed crops; 

 contract orders are coming in rapidly 

 and all signs indicate a healthy condi- 

 tion of the flower seed business. 



STILL THEY COME.

 the fact and that it represents a change 

 is made in the return. , Thereafter
