BIG SPRING SALEI 1936 
Our price list is later than usual this season because we wish ed to be sure prices had reached their low level, so we could 
give our customers advantage of the best offers possible. 
We present a long list of the finest varieties of Gladiolus in the world, products of all the greatest hybridists in this country 
and Europe. Novelties that come with the highest recommendation from those who know their gladioli, and those choice varieties 
whose merits and popularity have been proven as consistent blue ribbon winners at the big shows. Don’t be afraid of our low 
prices, our bulbs are guaranteed true to name, up to size, are vigorous and free from disease and ready to win prizes for you if 
given good care. Examine our offerings carefully and compare values with those of other reputable growers. We solicit your 
patronage, assuring you of our most careful personal service in the selection of the bulbs sent you, and with the feeling you will 
become another of our pleased regular customers. 
GENERAL TERMS AND SUGGESTIONS 
Cash with order or 25% of amount will hold orders for future delivery at which time balance will be due. No order for less 
than $1.00 can be accepted. All offers in this list are at prepaid delivery prices except those sold at 100 rate. 
Prices given under each item are for the large size bulbs. Two medium size bulbs will be sent for each full sized bulb at the 
same price, i. e., twice as many medium sizes will be sent instead of the number offered in the large sizes for the prices quoted. 
One package BULBLETS varying in number according to the scarcity of variety will be sent for the price of one large bulb. 
OUR ELMWOOD TERRACE SPECIAL MIXTURE has made friends for us all over the United States. Formerly always priced at 
$5.00 per 100, we are offering the same or even better quality this year, in bulbs 1 inch to 2 inches in diameter for only $3.00 per 
100. OUR DELUXE MIXTURE made up from filing trays of varieties of more recent introduction including many ruffled ones 
covering a wide range of color and color combinations, at least 50 varieties go into this mixture which if selected separately and 
labeled would cost at least three times as much. Prices $5.00 per 100. 
Our Butterfly Prim Mixture is composed of the widest range possible in all the lovely colors found in this graceful race of 
gladiolus. This is the type which lends itself most beautifully to basket or vase arrangement in conjunction with foliage or other 
flowers. Our very low price of only $2.50 per 100 puts these within the reach of all to plant in quantity. 
Fifty bulbs of any of the above mixtures will be sent for one-half the 100 price. Bulbs in all mixtures run from 1 to 2 inches 
diameter, which is by far the best to plant for long season of bloom. 
NOTICE—We will send out an early summer list of offerings in the Best Iris, Phlox, Peonies, Hardy Bulbs, and Hardy Per¬ 
ennials for fall planting. If interested please send your address and those of interested friends. We are revising our mailing lists.
