THE YEARS BEST BARGAIN 
OUR 1934 PRIZE OFFER FOR NEW MEMBERS 
The New England Gladiolus Society—Abbreviated N. E. G. S. 
THIS OFFER: FOR NEW MEMBERS (only) and not renewals. $1.00 pays for a 
full years membership, with all membership privileges; and includes THE FISCHER 
COLOR CHART, printed in 108 colors, tints and shades, invaluable to all who wish to 
use a reliable chart to ascertain the right color, shade or tints, of their glads. NEW mem¬ 
bers will also receive a copy of the 192 page, 1933 Yearbook and will receive their 1934 
Yearbook issued in February, bigger and better than ever, our slogan is “5000 members 
in 1934'’. To receive the color chart we must have your $1.00 before Nov. 1, 1934. 
Our big new 1934 Yearbook will be sewed, and open flat like a book. It will be a 
one volume Encyclopedia of gladiolus facts, for quick and handy reference. We issue a 
new Yearbook each year, every year we put out a bigger and better book as our member¬ 
ship increases, these books are a complete review for the year, I do not think I ever found 
in any publication, or yearly collection of monthly publications, such helpful and instruc¬ 
tive articles, every one written by a master in his particular field. How to Grow and 
exhibit bloom. Facts about thrips, “A Sure Cure,” and about everything of importance 
that you can think of. It is my opinion that $5.00 for the above offer would be the years 
best bargain, but every NEW member will get all of the above for $1.00. IN ADDITION 
TO THE ABOVE OFFER WE ADD THIS EXTRA OFFER: For every new member¬ 
ship you send us, (not renewals) we will let you select FREE $1.00 worth of bulbs of the 
following varieties, (only) size Large, Medium and Small, no bulblets. We do not care 
how many memberships any one person sends in, but they must be for (NEW) members 
and you must mail them with an order from this catalog for $1.00 or more, if you do not 
send with an order we allow .50c only, for each new member, all bulbs will be mailed 
to the person sending the names. HERE ARE THE VARIETIES: Alight; Zillah; Trev- 
onian; Mrs. Ray. P. Chase; Marolee; Marmora Sport; Helen Jacobs; Allenwood; Pink 
Show; and Fluffy Ruffles; AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT: A gift that will be long remem¬ 
bered at the nominal cost of $1.00; If someone gave me a gift like this, I am sure that I 
would appreciate it much more than any other $5.00 gift that I can call to memory.
