All Prices Prepaid in United States and Canada 
THE REASON WHY 
Perhaps our customers may be a little disappointed at the form of our catalog this year, it having slipped 
into the price list classification. We were faced with the condition this spring of having a large number 
of varieties with only small stocks of most of them. To get out a big catalog costs money and our stocks were 
hardly large enough to cover this expense. Therefore, the more condensed list. We are already planning for 
next season and believe we can promise you something of more value. 
The main part of our resolve is a return to first principles. Up to about the start of the depression we 
practically confined our efforts to growing only new high-priced Glads. When hard times hit the country, 
of necessity this policy was altered and we carried more of the popular-priced kinds, or rather kept on 
growing varieties that previously we would have discarded because of low price. Now we are going back 
to our old purpose. 
To do this we are going to have to clean house this spring and we have tried to make the prices in this 
list attractive enough to move most of this stock. In case most of it is not sold by the end of March, we 
are going to get out a special list of close-out lots. But we expect a large number of varieties to be entirely 
gone ere then. In fact quite a few have been cleaned out already. 
To further accomplish this clean-up job, we are offering the following: Send us any amount over $2, 
and after the first of April we will send you 100 large, or 175 medium, or 250 small bulbs for each $2 sent. 
Bulbs will not be labeled but will be from varieties in this list. Will supply names for 25% extra. This offer 
is f. o. b. Lewiston, and selection of varieties must be left entirely to us. You can state size wanted. We will 
guarantee good value and are doing this simply so we can confine our efforts to new varieties exclusively. 
BULBLETS 
We can supply bulblets in quantity of quite a number of the commercial varieties listed herein and ask you to send us a list of your 
bulblet wants and we will make you best possible price. While we don’t guarantee bulblet germination, we recommend this as the cheapest 
way to build up stock—especially for you Eastern and Midwestern people who have been hit so hard by drought. 
TERMS 
Cash or 25% down; balance before delivery or C. O. D. Five bulbs or bulblets may be purchased at the ten rate and 25 at the 
hundred rate. One bulb or bulblet at one-eighth the price of ten if not otherwise quoted and item does not total less than 10c. Prices pre¬

NEW INTRODUCTION 
We offer for the first time White Winner, a seedling of ours that we have grown for the past six years. It has been selected as the 
very best of a number of selected white seedlings. It has the good points demanded of a new introduction: Clear white color, lilac pencil 
in throat; good size (about 5 inch); perfect placement; eight out with an equal number to come; never crooks; slightly ruffled; extra 
good substance; in fact an almost perfect commercial flower. 
EXPLANATION OF ABBREVIATIONS 
It may be that the tabular headings and abbreviations in columns need some explanation. “Sub.,” meaning substance, has been 
determined from thickness of petals, ability to stand heat and wind in field and behavior after cutting. Substance is classified by using 
initials of Fair, Good and Excellent. Under type, most varieties come under the abbreviations for Grandiflorus, Primulinus or Primulinus 
Grandiflorus. Several bear “L” for laciniated, while a few are marked “M” for Miniature or “Dec” for Decorative. Ruffled varieties are 
marked “R.” The blooming season listings are designated as Early, Early Midseason, Midseason, Late Midseason and Late, the initials of 
these being used as abbreviations. The diameter of a representative floret is expressed in inches, while the height is shown as Short, Medium, 
or tall. We believe “No. Out” is self explanatory. 
To conserve space the following abbreviations are used for names of introducers or originators: A, Austin; Aik, Alkemade; B. 
Barth; Bet, Betscher; Br. Brown; Carp, Carpenter; C, Coleman; Cr, Crow; D, Diener; Dec, Decorah; Dg, Miss Douglas; El, Ellis; 
Er, Errey; F, Fischer; Gil, Gilrey; Hr, Hornberger; Kel, Kelway; K, Kunderd; Kin, Mrs. Kinyon; Lem, Lemoine; M, Mair; Mil, Miller; 
NZ, New Zealand; Pal. Palmer; Pf, Pfitzer; Pp, Piper; Pr, Prestgard; Sal, Salbach; St, Stevens, Sy, Symons; V, Vaughan; Vel, 
Velthuys; Vil, Vilmorin.
