Michigan Grown Gladiolus Bulbs 
Preferred by Those Who Know! 
B UY DIRECT FROM THE GROWER. You will be assured of quality stock, grown for 
your special needs, prompt service, intelligent co-operation. 
For your assistance we have selected a list of varieties specially adapted for forcing. We recom¬ 
mend only first size bulbs for this purpose, to be planted after January 15th. 
For out-of-doors planting many successful florists use second or third size. A list of profitable 
varieties is shown on the third page of this list. 
If you desire bulbs for counter trade, do not fail to ask for colored illustrations to be displayed 
with the variety- -it helps sell the bulbs and more of them. These pictures are part of our service 
and are sent with our compliments. 
Our list contains all of the popular and best selling varieties at prices that will allow a good 
profit. If more complete description is desired for catalog purposes, please write.

Packaged Gladiolus Bulbs for Counter Trade 
We put up an attractively illustrated box in four colors with planting direc¬ 
tions, etc., containing one each of a dozen distinct choice varieties of Gladiolus 
bulbs, which sell like the proverbial “hot cakes” when displayed on your 
counter or in your show window. 
Every box has full directions for planting... making it ideal for even the 
casual gardener. Our suggestion is that you concentrate on the packaged 
item...it makes less dirt, occupies less sales time and counter space, and
