GLADIOLUS SPECIALIST 
Dear Customer or Reader: I do not wish to burden you w^th a long prelude, 
blowing my own horn or whatever you might choose to call 'it, but we do wish to say 
that this list of glads has been obtained at a good deal of expense) of both time and 
money. Many of the newer varieties we try out we never list. Others that are supers 
seded by better ones, we drop from our list and this, of course, means a loss. How¬ 
ever. we feel that what is our loss is fully gained by our customers, and if they are 
well pleased, it will be a good advertisement. Thus what sacrifice we make to keep 
our list top notch will come back to us 'in time. Prices are as low as consistent quaP 
ity considered. Of course, you may grow a poor crop from good seed, but you can’t 
grow a good crop from poor seed. Many gardens were damaged by flood in July 1935 
in eleven different counties in New York and if you were one to lose your glads in 
this way, just drop me a line stating your loss, as I have a special plan to get you} 
starled again at a very low cost. 
The different sizes will be designated as follows: L. for large, M. for mediumj 
and S. for small. Large and medium bulbs are always of blooming s : ze and many of 
the small ones will bloom and will make the best of bulbs for the next season. 
I would mention that the^e are a few var'eties that do not make large bulbs. M. 
s'ze, in other words, would be large for a few of these varieties. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
If, on examination, bulbs are not satisfactory, return them and your money will 
be refunded. Our guarantee does not mean that we are in any way responsible for 1 
any failure due to weather conditions or insects. 
All orders of $1.00 or over will be prepaid anywhere in U. S. A. I am giving no 
discounts on these pr ; ces but I do try to give all customers a pleasant surprise. Of 
course, we can give wholesale quotations on large lots. Please send list of just what 
you want for estimates. 
Cultural directions and best thrip control methods will be included in each 
shipment.
