Hello Friends: 
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 
I am wishing each and every one of you a Bigger and Better New Year. We all know that the past four years have not been 
all roses. But I have that feeling now that we are really on our way to better times. 
So here is my wish to you: Wishing you Health, Happiness and Prosperity and hoping that all three come your wav for 1935 
and then that they stay with you. 
Sincerely and cordially yours, 
J. H. HEBERLING. 
Our business was considerably better in 1934 and as a consequence we have already contracted more than half of our stock of 
bulbs. Many orders have been shipped and many more to go in the spring. For this reason we are not getting out our usual catalog 
at tnis time as the stock we now nave would not justity the expense. 
I am therefore suggesting that you be good enough to make up your orders from this list and should you wish descriptive 
catalog we will gladly send postpaid upon receipt of your request our 1934 catalog which contains descriptions of most of the varieties 
we now list. However, in ordering use the prices in this list. 
Because of our Skinner System of irrigation we produced an excellent crop of bulbs and bulblets Sales, however have been 
heavy and we must keep our planting stock for another crop. For this reason we are not listing bulbs smaller than No 3 We suggest 
to our customers that if in need of planting stock that where such stock is not obtainable they buy bulblets and grow their own 
stock for the coming season. We have some very attractive prices in bulblets while they last. 
WHAT WE OFFER 
We offer true to name bulbs of the highest quality at reasonable prices. This is not an idle remark, but this statement is based 
on fact. Our stock is carefully treated before planting to prevent disease. Our gardens have been carefully inspected again this 
season by both State and Federal inspectors for the detection of Gladiolus Thrip and we have been advised that none has been found 
Of the latter fact we are both thankful and proud. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all bulbs and bulblets purchased from us to be true to name, full sized, and free of disease and insects including 
Gladiolus Thrips. We will replace stock or refund the purchase price of all bulbs and bulblets purchased from, us that are not satis¬ 
factory, providing that we are notified of the deficiency within eighteen months of the date of purchase
