GIFTS OF BULBS 
Have you ever thought of Gladiolus bulbs as Birthday or 
Christmas Gifts, or for prizes? Every year we are putting up a 
greater number of boxes of bulbs for Gifts. We put in a fancy 
box any bulbs you may select, each variety named, of course, 
and enclose a card which you send us, or a suitable one we 
select, and mail them for the proper day. In the parts of the 
country where it is not well to ship during the winter, we send 
a card to arrive when you desire, saying: “At proper planting 
time, we will send, etc., the gift of—” then later, when we 
send the bulbs, we enclose a card saying, “These are the bulbs 
you have been expecting, the gift of— 
For a gift, add 25c to the catalogue price of the bulbs you 
wish sent, to cover actual cost to us for appropriate box and 
card. 
No gift order in special wrappings for less than $1.50. 
We are glad at any time to send a catalogue to any of 
your friends, or, if you have finished with this one, we 
would appreciate your giving it to someone who is a 
flower lover. 
The following was written to a customer of ours by her sister 
about bulbs we sent for her: 
“The lovely Gladiolus bulbs you sent me are blooming again 
and are just as fine this year. I never saw such large ones nor 
a violet blue before. It was a delightful gift.”
