To Whom it may concern 
After careful 
of the Gladiolus crop in 
District throughout the 
season, giving especial 
indication of the pres 
Thrips, I have failed 
pest anywhere in this 
that at this time this c 
to the best of my knowledge 
from this pest. 
State Horticultural Inspe|%(5r* 
Reproduced just above is a copy of our State certificat¬ 
ion that Harrold’s Pedigreed Quality Gladiolus are free of 
that dreaded pest, Gladiolus Thrips; and, that they have 
been grown in a district that is entirely free of this pest* 
A copy of this certificate will be attached to every package 
leaving our warehouses. We are authoritativly informed 
that these certificates will obtain immediate release of ship¬ 
ments evan in localities where uncertified shipments will be 
delayed for fumigation. In view of the fact that our prices 
are on a level with average wholesale trade prices, we feel 
in addition to this Thrips certification the stock offered 
merits your consideration on quality as well. 
Weather conditions and reduced planting has reduced 
the amount of available stock materially, with the No. 1 
size undoubtedly below actual needs in many varieties. This 
situation coupled with increasing handleing costs, a better 
demand than for several seasons past, as well as a general 
tendency toward industrial stabalization leads to the pre¬ 
diction that prices are at about the seasons lowest now. 
We’ll gladly give prompt shipment on all stock offered 
as long as available stock lasts, and will accept orders for 
spring and early summer delivery when accompanied by the 
purchase price, or a deposit of one-third the purchase price.
