GLADIOLUS 
PRICELIST ♦ SEASON 1936 
FOREWORD 
Once again it is ray privilege and pleasure to ex¬ 
tend my thanks for your orders and many kind words of 
appreciation. This year’s growing season has been very 
favorable and I have a fine crop of bulbs that I am sure 
will please. 
My son, Edward, has decided to join me in the 
handling of the business, so I trust from now on you 
will receive better service, not to mention far more 
beautiful Arenius originations With the enthusiasm 
of youth, tempered with 15 years experience of growing 
glads we hope to serve you in a bigger and better way. 
From a modest back yard planting the business has 
grown to a planting of about 8 acres. During the past 
year or two it has been a physical impossibility to give 
the proper attention to all of the details of the busi¬ 
ness, so I am glad to be able to ease off some of the 
burdens as well as the pleasures to his more youthful 
shoulders. 
If you have never bought glads from me, just give 
me a trial or order and if you are not more than satis¬ 
fied, I will refund your money. 
As my customers know, I believe in overcount and 
fill orders liberally. I do not substitute, but refund any 
part of an order I cannot fill, unless instructed other¬ 
wise.

Terms: Cash with order or a 25% deposit if future 
delivery is desired, balance C. 0. D. Delivery charges 
prepaid on orders of $1.00 or more. If less, add 15c to¬ 
ward shipping cost. 
Shipment: No orders taken for bulblets after April 
1st, for planting sizes after May 1st and for large 
bulbs after June 1st. Can furnish unlabelled assorted 
bulbs until July 1st. 
Some of the outstanding glads in my gardens this 
past season were the following: Albatros, a very tall 
pure white; Bagdad, a fine, large smoky; Constancy, 
tall rose, not many good ones in this color; Dr. Durr, 
very early commercial white; Golden Chimes, fine yel¬ 
low; J. S. Bach, early exhibition orange salmon red; 
Lavender Delight, clear deep lavender, with cream 
throat; Mary Elizabeth, tall exhibition or commercial 
creamy white, Max Reger, a lavender blue, very grace¬ 
ful and attractive; Mr. Wm. Cuthbertson, tall pink, 
white throat, 10 open; Phyllis McQuiston, a very beau¬ 
tiful pink, outstanding; Pinnacle, rose pink, with 10 
open; Tip Top, a very large and outstanding red; Star 
of Bethlehem, large white, improvement on Maid of 
Orleans.
