CAT HE growers who produce our bulbs on 
contract, have our explicit instructions 
to send us only the very best the season 
affords. 
We pay a premium for these specially 
picked stocks, and we feel confident that no 
finer bulbs can be purchased anywhere. 
Our stocks of GLADIOLUS cover the 
very finest varieties in commerce today. We 
go over our lists each year, and with the 
record of our field observations before us, we 
eliminate those that have not proven them¬ 
selves up to our standards of merit and 
quality , while new varieties that show im¬ 
provements on older types are added. 
The quality of my bulbs has proven their 
worth by the many awards in competition at 
all the leading Flower Exhibitions.
