Three Wonderful Collections 
Bargains that Fit Your 
Pocketbook 
A customer that is pleased with my bulbs and service is 
the best ‘ad’ that I could ever hope to get. It is my am¬ 
bition to produce gladioli from only CHOICE varieties, 
TRUE TO NAME, with HIGH QUALITY bulbs at PRICES 
LOW ENOUGH to meet the gladiolus needs of the average 
person. 
After carefully figuring my production costs, order filling 
expense, etc., I find that if I use some of my spare time 
before the order filling rush begins in the Spring, in mak¬ 
ing up and labeling these standard collections selected 
from some of my best varieties, so as to have them ready 
for mailing without any further cost, I can save a large 
part of my labor expense. I am passing this saving on 
direct to you, because the more you can save, the more 
bulbs you can afford to buy, and every bulb I ship is a 
silent salesman for me. 
Those of you who delay ordering might find that my 
prepared collections have run out on some varieties. In 
such cases, I shall replace them with other varieties of 
the same color and price, as nearly as possible. Please 
keep in mind that there can be NO CHANGES IN THE 
COLLECTIONS, because that will cause extra work and 
add to my expense. This cannot be allowed at such prices. 
So please do not ask me to substitute other varieties. It 
just cannot be done. 
For those who prefer to start with half collections, I 
am preparing a number of orders with three bulbs of each 
variety, instead of six, and this year will charge only ONE- 
HALF OF THE REGULAR COLLECTION PRICE. This 
leaves me very little profit, but I am sure that once you 
are acquainted with my bulbs the future will make up for 
this concession. 
All choice size No. 1 bulbs, guaranteed true to name, 
each variety SEPARATELY labeled. 
Postage fully prepaid by me on THESE COLLECTIONS 
ONLY. 
Now, to be fair to myself, I CANNOT ALLOW on these 
collections special inducements and extra bulbs such as 
would be added to regular orders. 
Please remember that there can be NO SUBSTITU¬ 
TIONS OR CHANGES in these collections unless I find it 
necessary when certain varieties are exhausted. Also let 
me repeat that these low prices will not permit any spe¬ 
cial inducements and extras on collections.
