TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS 
O NCE again we present to you our catalogue 
of choice bulbs for 1935 and in so doing 
extend to you the compliments of the season. 
It was our good fortune the past summer to have 
the privilege of growing the Gladiolus used in the 
decorations of the Garden City Hotel, Garden City, 
L. I., during the week of the Convention of the 
National Association of Gardeners. 
A score or more varieties were used in the table 
and other decorations. You will find them all listed 
here and marked with an asterisk (*). They were 
not specially grown for the occasion but cut just as 
they ran in our field. We have had an unusually 
good growing season this past summer which ac¬ 
counted for the tall spikes and large number of 
blooms open at once. Our crop of young, healthy 
bulbs just harvested cannot be improved upon. 
The several illustrations used in this catalogue 
do not do justice to the actual blooms. However, 
you will find all varieties truthfully described. If 
you will tell us your requirements we will be pleased 
to guide you accordingly as we believe we know 
bulbs and the type of bulbs necessary to produce 
choice blooms. The quality of our merchandise and 
the moderate prices leave nothing to be desired. 
May we have the opportunity of serving you? 
Charles G. Gillman.
