FOREWORD 
At this time I wish to thank my friends and customers for the business given me last season. And I also wish to acknowledge the many 
unsolicited letters of appreciation which I received. It is gratifying to know that the quality of my bulbs as well as the service rendered, met 
with approval. These expressions of good will are appreciated. And it is my intention to merit continued support by supplying products of 
SUPERIOR QUALITY, accompanied by courteous and efficient service. 
This modest price list replaces my usual illustrated book. And every effort toward economy has been made in its preparation. This has 
enabled me to offer the very best value obtainable at exceptionally reasonable prices. And the more recent introductions, generally quoted at 
high prices, are very moderately priced. So my customers may now enjoy the pleasure of growing the real “Aristocrats of Glad-dom’’ without 
the least apprehension of extravagance. 
Bulbs are listed in two sizes: large, which are 1% inches and larger in size, and medium, which are % inch to 1 inch in size. Bulblets 
are also listed. The 1 %" bulbs will produce excellent large blooms that develop earlier than those grown from smaller corms. The %" size 
will bloom but the flowers will be smaller and will open later than those from large bulbs. Bulblets will not ordinarily bloom the first season. 
These are offered to enable customers to obtain stocks of varieties at a minimum. 
My offerings are again classified under their recognized types, i. e., the Grandiflorus, the Primulinus, and the Primulinus-Grandiflorus. And 
after the name of each variety is stated in abbreviations, its type. The Grandiflorus type comprises the large flowered sorts with widely 
opened flowers produced on heavy, thick stems. To the Primulinus type belong the smaller flowered varieties, of extremely delicate colorings 
producd on slender wiry stems. The Primulinus-Grandiflorus type combines the large size and dignity of the Grandiflorus with the graceful 
growth and beauty of the Primulinus. 
Prices quoted are for retail orders. If bulbs are desired in quantity, advise me and I shall quote quantity prices. Should varieties be re¬ 
quired that do not appear in the following list, advise me as to names, bulb sizes, etc., and I shall be glad to secure them for you. And if you 
use bulbs in other sizes than those quoted, prices may be arranged by correspondence. 
MY GUARANTEE 
I guarantee my bulbs to be fully up to size, free from disease and Gladiolus Thrips. Upon receiving your order, open and inspect it. If 
the merchandise is not exactly as represented, return it at once and your money will be cheerfully refunded. However, I do not assume re¬ 
sponsibility for the resultant crop of flowers or bulbs, for the soil, cultural and weather conditions are wholly beyond my control. And I shall 
not be held liable for any amount greater than the sum paid for the order. 
Five Bulbs May Be Purchased for One-half the Price of Ten
