Our catalog is different than the average run of catalogs. We try to 
show you WHO IS WHO IN BALLYHOO, in other words we try to sift the 
false from the true, to give you the pure grain of facts in place of the chaff 
of theory. Of what value to you are any mans guesses, or mere mental 
assumptions; what we all need today is facts, proven facts, and not guesses. 
We try to do just this thing in our catalog, and in addition we grow as fine 
a list of Gladiolus varieties as you can find. They are priced as low as any 
other reliable grower’s. We also list some very fine merchandise, the best 
that we can secure because our motto is “The best is none too good for you.”
