I Grow Gladioli 
Exclusively 
Fifteen years of study and devoted 
attention with a determination to ex- 
cel in quality and so to contribute my 
share in securing national appreciation 
of this “ orchid of the garden," is my 
claim for your patronage. My sixty 
“Cedar Acres,” which are particularly 
adapted for growing Gladioli, pro- 
duced over seven million of these bulbs 
of the first quality the past season. 
The range of colors and combination 
of colors and markings is unsurpassed. 
There are many new and marvellous 
creations among this immense stock 
as well as superb bulbs of all the 
old varieties. 
Let me send you my illustrated book- 
let on Gladioli now that you may 
have time to consider and be able to 
order early. This booklet gives color 
descriptions of the newest and most 
desirable bulbs and offers special 
collections. Write for it note. I want 
you to have it. It is free. 
“Sturdy, Heavy-rooted Plants” 
A delighted customer says: 
“In all my experience with nurserymen, I have 
never received such sturdy, heavy-rooted plants. 
If you make a practice of treating all your 
customers the same way, your clientele must 
be a very large one. However that may be, 
my personal appreciation is very great. You 
will certainly hear from me again.” 
Our heavy-rooted stock is the result of frequent 
transplanting, suitable soil and expert care.

Large Sizes for 
Immediate Effect 
Many of our trees are 15 or 20 years old but all sizes have been trans- 
planted a sufficient number of times to acquire a mass of fibrous or 
feeding roots. These insure the safe removal of the trees to your grounds.
