We again present you with our catalogue of foreign 
varieties of Gladiolus for 1933-34. 
During the last two years many fine varieties have 
been sent out from the far lands, some we think are 
more outstanding than varieties disseminated here in 
the United States during that time. 
It is our privilege to list several of the new ones 
and in nearly all cases they have been thoroughly tested 
out and by their First Class and Award of Merit 
Certificate and their Championship wins at their shows, 
we judge they should satisfy the most critical grower, 
who is searching for exhibition stock and varieties 
that are a pleasure to grow. 
The growers from down under seem to have had 
more than their share of choice ones appear from their 
hybridizing and we can thoroughly recommend varieties 
from New Zealand and those from Australia also, after 
the latter becomes acclimated. We are offering 
thoroughly season stock that should do well any place 
in the United States or Canada as our climates are 
quite similar. 
PLEASE READ TERMS CAREFULLY— on retail 
cash orders only, extras will be added in bulbs or 
bulblets of your choice to the extent of the following 
amounts. 10% added to cash retail orders of $2.00 to

20% added to cash retail orders of $25.00 to $50.00 and

order. All retail orders of $1.00 or over prepaid, below 
$1.00 express collect or postage must be included with 
order, minimum postage 15 cents. No single item for 
less than 20 cents. 
Divisions may be made in ordering bulbs or 
bulblets where 10 are quoted, as you see fit. Where 
quoted by 100 or 1000, one-fourth the amount will be 
sold at same rate, 12 bulbs or bulblets at 10 times the 
price of one. Size L is No. 1 and 2, size M is No. 3 and 4 
or larger and size S is No. 5 and 6 or larger. 
We reserve the right to ship when weather permits, 
shipping by post, which will be about April 1st or later, 
express shipments sent at customers risk. We also 
reserve the right to alter prices, provided we are given 
a code or the inflation of our currency requires adjust¬ 
ment of list prices as this will likely be the only list 
we will send out. All stock guaranteed true and free 
from disease or pest. 
WHOLESALE PRICES. We are quoting no whole¬ 
sale prices in this list but have marked the varieties * 
we can furnish, so we wish you would select varieties 
you wish a price on and write us for quotations on the 
size you require. 
We wish to impress upon all growers to treat all 
stock, regardless of where it is purchased, before 
planting in the soring. Federal authorities gave us a 
clean record on diseases and thrip, but one shipment 
of infested stock will contaminate all stock in storage 
if temperature is not low enough. Use your own method 
but treat all stock. 
We wish to thank our former customers for their 
patronage and solicit your future orders, which will 
receive our careful attention as has been our policy in 
the past.
