TO ALL OUR 
FRIENDS: 
Just before this advertisement was mailed to The 
Garden Magazine, fire entirely destroyed Hawks 
Block, Bennington’s largest office building, where 
our advertising and clerical departments were established. A large sec¬ 
tion of our mailing list—several thousand names of customers and 
those requesting catalogues—was lost. We would, therefore, greatly 
appreciate letters or cards from all those with whom we have had any 
correspondence, in order that we may revise our lists at the earliest pos¬ 
sible moment. Orders received this season need not be repeated, as these 
were at Elmwood Terrace where our bulbs are stored, a mile from the fire. 
CHAMPION 
GLADIOLI 
“The Perfect Bulbs 
jUR latest triumpn—at the 1923 International Show of the American Gladiolus 
KB/W Society—was THE GARDEN MAGAZINE ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL, that 
coveted trophy signifying championship of the year’s largest exhibition for the 
highest number of points won. With less than half our exhibits staged, awards to us 
totaled nearly double those of our nearest competitor. And among our other choicest 
trophies are the KUNDERD GOLD MEDAL for the largest and finest collection of 
Kunderd originations, and the BURPEE CUP, at the St. Thomas international show, 
for “the finest of all varieties.” Guaranteed 
true to name and exactly as represented, we 
assert these Vermont-grown bulbs to be just 
what the awards of foremost judges have 
proved them for several years—the best ob¬ 
tainable at any price, producing hardier, 
more beautiful blooms in any climate. 
Our selections from the creations of the world’s 
greatest hybridizers have received the invariably 
unanimous endorsement of the foremost connois¬ 
seurs. In our ideal soil and climate, and through 
our own perfected cultural methods, we have 
strengthened and improved this stock until its 
supremacy is assured in any competition. 
The quality of ELMWOOD TERRACE strains 
cannot be surpassed or duplicated from any other 
source. 
To those determined upon supreme gardens in 
1924, we recommend immediate placing of orders.
