released in another year, and if they continue to do as they did the past season will be 
among the present day leaders, so watch out for them at this time next year if you do 
not see them during the blooming season. 
New England Gladiolus Society 
Every one interested in growing gladiolus should be a member of this society, which 
is the largest gladiolus society in the world to-day. A year book is published each year 
and sent to each member. Information on the many subjects connected with gladiolus 
are written by the best authorities in this country and abroad. The society also holds 
five meetings and a show each season at Horticultural Hall in Boston; the show has 
been called the “quality show of America." 
This year is the fifteenth anniversary of the society and a special de luxe year book 
is being published, which will be mailed early in January. It contains 272 pages with 
many of the newest varieties illustrated. The binding is of cloth on board covers and 
the value is far more than the cost of membership. As the cost of publishing this anni¬ 
versary book is much more than any year book the society has previously attempted, 
it is hoped that old members will send their 1935 dues promptly, and any of you that 
are not members can send your $1.00 to me and it will go to the secretary so your year 
book can be mailed promptly.

I shall personally put up every order and will see that full value is given to each cus¬ 
tomer. If you are not pleased with the stock when received, or if, after you have grown 
it you are not satisfied with the results, please let me know and I will make every effort 
possible to please you. All stock is guaranteed, true to name and free from disease. 
SHIPMENT 
Bulbs will be shipped as soon after March 15th, as the weather permits. Any earlier 
shipments at the customer’s risk. Please state on the order the approximate date you pre¬ 
fer to receive the shipment. If you order the more expensive bulblets and desire them 
earlier than March 15th, we will find some way to get them to you safely. We start 
planting May 1st, so all orders should be at hand before that date; although bulbs of 
many of the low priced varieties will be available about June 1st. 
SUBSTITUTION 
In no case will any variety be substituted for the variety ordered. However, as many 
of the varieties listed are in small supply, I would appreciate the privilege of substituting 
larger or smaller bulbs of the same variety, when necessary. 
PRICES 
I am not knowingly undersold by any reputable grower, but if lower prices are quoted 
to you by any reliable grower we will meet those prices as long as our stocks are available. 
When there is a figure before the price of a variety as 2-20c or 5-25c, etc., it means 
two bulbs or bulblets for twenty cents or five bulbs or bulblets for twenty-five cents as the 
case may be.
