Three Size Glad Bulbs 
The LARGS BUBBS measure (in diameter) 
from 1*4 Inches up, mixed sizes. This size is 
designated by the letter “B”. 
MEDIUM BULBS measure % inch to an 
inch or larger, mixed sizes. These Medium 
Bulbs bloom splendidly, though the large bulbs 
make still larger spikes and more of them. 
Medium Bulbs are designated by the letter 
“M”. 
SMALL BULBS are designated by the letter 
“S”. They will average nearly half-inch in 
diameter. Not sold as blooming sizes. 
NOTE: It will help us in filling your Glad 
bulb orders if you will mention the size each 
time: Large, Medium, Small, or just the letters 
B, M or S. 
What Size Shall I Buy? 
A Large bulb usually produces two spikes 
of blossoms, sometimes three. A Medium bulb 
will produce a splendid spike, maybe two. A 
Small bulb is not certain to bloom, but some 
will bloom, producing smaller spikes. 
Medium and Small bulbs are especially val¬ 
uable for producing new, vigorous bulbs and 
many bulblets. Barge and Medium bulbs best 
for blooms.

I prepay Glad orders amounting to $1.00 or 
more. (Except at wholesale as noted.) If 
Glad order less than $1.00, please add 15c 
toward packing and shipping cost. 
Bach item on your G-lad order must amount 
to not less than 10c. 
TERMS: Cash with order, or *4 cash with

DEBIVERT? (Except wholesale lots.) I

antee safe delivery. (My choice, whether par¬ 
cel post or express.) 
If your express office is different from your 
mail address, please be SURE to give express 
office address also when ordering. 
Please do not order in smaller quantities 
than listed. (5 or more bulbs at the 10 rate, 
but must amount to not less than lOo.) 
All Glad prices are prepaid to you EXCEPT 
lists plainly marked P. O. B. Boulder. You pay 
transportation if ordered at F. O. B. rates. 
Second Choice, Please f r °“" r 
some kinds and sizes of Glad bulbs will be sold 
out. Saves a lot of time and correspondence 
if you will kindly name a few varieties that 
we may send in case sold out any on your or¬ 
der. Or say if we may send another size. Or, 
if you wish, say we may send something good, 
our selection, from kinds we have yet In good 
supply. 
How to Send Money 
I prefer P. O. Money Orders but accept 
checks. Banks now charge us collection fee on 
checks, so please avoid, if convenient to you, 
sending checks for small amounts. For small 
amounts, stamps, coin or currency usually 
safe if sent in our strong return envelopes. 
Everything considered Money Orders best for 
us, and less risk for you.

If You Pay Transportation 
As noted above, and elsewhere in the fol¬ 
lowing pages, I prepay all but wholesale lots. 
BUT, many customers have been much 
pleased with my special proposition in the 
past. 
If the customer pays express on Glads priced 
prepaid I will send extra Glads to more than 
offset the express charges. I’ll send extra 
bulbs of kinds on your order, or some good 
kinds, my selection, or maybe both. 
If order part from wholesale list and part 
from prepaid lists, you will find it much to 
yopr advantage to do as many others have 
done. Just say, “Send all at mv expense and 
add more Glads to COVER SENDING COSTS 
ON PREPAID ITEMS.” 
On good size orders express usually cheaper, 
as bulbs take a special second class rate by 
express. 
But if you specify parcel post shipment and 
you pay carrying charges, then we ship C. O. 
D. for postage. Please do not send any money 
in such cases for postage or try to estimate 
it. Nor say you will remit for postage later. 
We keep no postage accounts. Either express, 
you pay express on arrival, or parcel post, the 
postage C. O. D. 
Any Glads priced prepaid may be ordered 
f. o. b. Boulder, at the prepaid prices, but I 
then send you more than enough extra stock 
to offset the carrying charges. (Order should 
be $3.00 or more to take advantage of this 
offer.) 
Send list for price on the lot, if you care to, 
but only for good sized lots, not a list amount¬ 
ing to only a few dollars. I'll make you price 
f. o. b. Boulder on the list. Please state defi¬ 
nitely the kinds, sizes and quantities of each 
wanted. 
We ship bulbs all winter. Prefer to ship 
soon as order is received, because have so 
many other shipments in spring. But, of 
course, will hold until spring if you say so. 
Safe delivery guaranteed. You take no risk, 
no matter when we ship. 
“Glad Gossip,” 10 Cents 
“Glad Gossip” is a 24-page booklet I wrote 
to help both amateurs and professional grow¬ 
ers get the most pleasure and profit from 
their Glads. Doesn’t tell all there is to know 
about Glads, but tips you off about many 
points of vital interest. 
Among other things, about eight pages are 
given to thrips. Many who followed my sug¬ 
gestions last season solved their thrips prob¬ 
lems, and have renewed their enthusiasm for 
growing Glads as a hobby or for market. 
The price is 10 cents. If not worth 10 cents 
then it isn’t worth sending for. It’s been 
worth dollars to many Glad growers. “You’ll 
be surprised.” 
Free with Glad orders amounting to $1.09 
or over, if asked for when order is sent. 
Really ought to have required a larger order 
for free copy, but send as big an order as you 
can, $1.00 or more, and “Gossip” is yours. 
Otherwise, 10c, please. 
' /ongs. Long Count 
Your GLAD orders will be filled liberally. 
I could promise you more for your money but 
I like to surprise you by doing better than I 
offer. The larger the order, the more liberal 
the overconnt.
