always buy glad bulbs from a specialist. There 
are many other equally good reasons. 
KEEPING CUT FLOWERS—Although glads 
are among the best keeping of cut flowers I 
get many requests for a method of making 
them even longer lived. I read of such a 
method lately but have never tried it so don’t 
know how well it works. I offer it for what it 
is worth: “Add two ordinary eye droppers full 
of sulphurous (NOT sulphuric) acid to each 
pint of water used to keep the flowers in. Use 
only glass or porcelain containers as the acid 
corrodes metal. Flowers will consume five 
times as much of this solution as pure water 
and are said to last up to five days longer. 
This works equally well on all flowers but 
only one-half as much acid should be used on 
small stemmed species.” Bouquets can be kept 
looking neat by pulling off the dead florets 
each day and cutting off enough of the stem 
to take up the bare spot. The tips are often 
more beautiful than the new spikes. 
SOME LETTERS I GET—C. A. F. Moor¬ 
head, Minn. “I just got glad bulbs today and 
I’m so well pleased that I’m writing to thank 
you very, very much. So many extra, and 
such large bulbs, the best I have received 
from anyone yet. I am inclosing an order for 
some more.” 
Mrs. W. A. L., Redmond, Ore. “Just a line 
to tell you the joy I am deriving from the 
lovely glads I bought of you this spring.” 
Z. W. S., Visalia, Calif. “The glad bulbs I 
ordered a week ago came today. I want to 
thank you for the liberal number you sent me. 
The bulbs are so nice, and I appreciate the 
extra ones.” 
Mrs. E. G. C., Seattle, Wash.—“The bulbs 
received from you are as nice as I have ever 
bought. * * * I love Mystic, it is such a gay 
dancing flower. Prince of India was a favorite 
here.” 
Mrs. M. D., Clackamas, Ore. “I was very 
pleased with the glads I received from you 
this year. Mammoth White and Picardy were 
grand.” 
(I always try to include something extra 
with each order, in appreciation of it, for trial, 
and just in case some you order don’t do so 
well.) 
GUARANTEE—I guarantee my bulbs to be 
true to name and exactly as represented and 
to reach you safely. Due to conditions over 
which I have no control, I cannot guarantee 
your crop of flowers and bulbs. However, I 
want to satisfy you so that you will order 
again and tell a friend or two about me, so if 
you are not pleased let me know quick so that 
I can do something about it! All of my bulbs 
have been inspected under Oregon State li¬ 
cense No. 502 and given a certificate as free 
from glad thrips and disease. 
WHOLESALE—See page 15, back of this 
catalog. 
POSTAGE—Orders of $1 or over postpaid 
in U. S. A. Please try to make your order 
total at least $1. 
ORDER EARLY while stocks are complete. 
I can give orders more attention before my 
planting season and the last-minute rush. 
I have increased stock on those sold out so 
early last year and hope to be able to supply 
the demand. However, I am short on the 
smaller sizes of some varieties, many will be 
gone before the first of May. Late in the sea¬ 
son please give a few names for second choice 
or I will send value in nearest size available, 
or a similar kind. 
WHEN YOU ORDER be sure to give me 
your name and complete address, state vari¬ 
eties, size and number of each wanted, and in¬ 
close remittance (plus postage if necessary). 
You may send currency (bills), money order 
(or U/ 2 C or 3c stamps on orders of less than $1 
only). No C. O. D. Please do not send checks 
as collection charges are high. I would appre¬ 
ciate the name and address of another glad 
lover. Mail to Paul Brandon, Rt. 1, Bend, Ore. 
Please keep a copy of your order. Retail or¬ 
ders are sent by mail. 
Western orders will be sent as soon as re¬ 
reived if the weather is safe for shipping, un¬ 
less you want me to hold them for you until 
later. No bulbs sent to the east before March 
25. All orders are receipted by postal card as 
soon as received. 
LOCAL FRIENDS’—So many of you in and 
around Bend don’t get a chance to drive out 
for your bulbs so I am going to suggest that 
you mail me your orders, together with your 
check or currency. I’ll mail the bulbs back to 
you postpaid. Large mixed bulbs 3 dozen for 
$1 in Deschutes county only. You are invited 
to see my flowers in bloom during August. 
The cut flowers are for sale.
