jyo^ ANNUAL FALL Qia(|iolus Bulbs 
At Digging-Time Prices—Fall Delivery 
It’s now a habit with me to offer gladiolus 
bulbs in my fall catalogue. 
It would be almost impossible for me to 
break this habit, even if I wanted to do so. 
Because many of my customers have also 
formed a habit—of buying part or all their 
Glads in the fall. 
It’s good business to buy Glads in the fall. 
Fall buying gives you the pick of the stock, 
assures your getting the varieties and sizes 
you want and at very reasonable prices. 
Then, too, it’s fun having your bulbs and 
bulblets right where you can watch them and 
keep them safely through the winter. Just to 
“paw them over’’ from time to time, and vis¬ 
ualize the rare and beautiful spikes of bloom 
they will produce, is no small compensation, 
as any real fan will know. 
Three Size Glad Bulbs 
The TiAI^GZ! BUZiSS measure (in diameter) 
from 1% inches up, mixed sizes. This size is 
designated by the letter “L”. 
MEDIUM BUEBS 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”. 
SMAEE BUEBS are designated by the letter 
“S”. They will average nearly half-inch in 
diameter. Not sold as blooming sizes, yet 
many will bloom. 
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 
E., M. or S. 
Prices, Terms, Delivery 
Gladiolus prices are guaranteed for this 
fall only—until my spring catalogue is mailed 
in January. Many of these offers will be 
withdrawn altogether in January. 
At digging-time prices, I prepay Glad orders 
amounting to $1.00 or more. (Except at whole¬ 
sale as noted.) If Glad order is less than $1.00, 
please add 15c toward packing and shipping 
cost. 
Each item on your G-lad order must amount 
to not less than 10c. 
TERMS: Cash with order, or cash with 
order, balance C. O. D. Or send with order, 
and balance any time before we are ready to 
ship. 
DEEIVEBY: (Except wholesale lots.) I 
pay all postage or express charges, and guar¬ 
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 10c.) 
What Size Shall I Buy? 
A Earge 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 many 
smaller bulbs will bloom, producing smaller 
spikes. 
Medium and Small bulbs are especially val¬ 
uable for producing new, vigorous bulbs and 
many bulblets. Earge and Medium bulbs best 
for blooms.

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. 
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 
your advantage to do as many others have 
done. Just say, “Send all at my expense and 
add more Glads to COVER SENDING COSTS 
ON PREPAID ITEMS.” 
On good size orders express usually cheaper, 
as> bulbs take a special low 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 bulbs are ready, 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. 
SPRING DEEIVERY. While I need to ship 
a lot of bulbs in fall to avoid crowding my 
storage rooms in winter, yet if you can’t take 
shipment in fall, I will store orders amounting 
to '$4.00 or more upon payment of 25 per cent 
or more on the order this fall. But so far as 
possible, I need to ship Glad bulbs THIS 
FAEE and early winter. Short on storage 
room. Still more extra bulbs will be sent if 
you let me ship soon as bulbs are ready in fall 
and early winter. 
My fall Glad prices are made out 
B Iwb early. If I am too low on some 
items, that’s your good luck. If a bit high. 
I’ll send plenty more Glads to adjust. Thus 
prices are in your favor “in the Long run.’’ 
Second Choice, Please 
Sooner or later, 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 order. Or say if we may send 
another size. 
Long Count 
As all my old customers know, your GLAD 
orders will be filled most 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 
overcount.
