The foregoing list of Glads are all good varieties, and with 
exceptions noted in the descriptions, are suitable for late 
planting as well as for early use. We are not offering collec¬ 
tions of Glads this year, but are offering something more satis¬ 
factory. Make out your list of varieties at the prices of each, 
and we will allow you $1.50 worth for $1.00 or $3.00 worth 
for $1.75. If larger quantities are wanted, send us a list of 
what you desire, and we will quote you our lowest prices. 
We have many other varieties not listed here, but would like 
to give them further trial before offering them to the public. 
All of our Glads are free from scab and thrips, and have 
been inspected by the State Plant Board. 
ABOUT GLADIOLUS SIZES 
If a dealer or grower of Glads sends out No. 1 size 
corms on orders, he will be anxious to tell you so, 
and if he calls them large blooming size, he in¬ 
variably sends out No. 2 size, and if they say bloom¬ 
ing size, that means that the purchaser will get 
anything from No. 3 to No. 6 sizes, which are worth¬ 
less for flowers. This has become a regular racket 
with many advertisers in the floral papers and over 
the radio. If a dealer is honest with his offerings, 
he need not be ashamed to tell exactly what he has 
to offer. Several of the larger market growers have 
already purchased their Glads from us this year, 
and after shopping around, are frankly admitting 
that we have the best looking stock of Glads that 
they have seen anywhere.
