GELSER BROTHERS 
DALTON, NEW YORK 
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS RECEIVED FROM 
OUR CUSTOMERS THE PAST SEASON. 
From New Jersey— 
“jLast winter when I found out that my business 
wouid not take up as much time as it had done 
here-to-fore I decided to look for something else 
to occupy my spare time. I thought perhaps flowers 
would inteiest me so I bought a copy of FLOWER 
GROWER and selected about halt a dozen firms 
who sold Gladiolus bulbs, stuck two dollars in each 
order blank and waited for returns. Well they all 
came, >ours last, today. Believe me when 1 say 
you sent the nicest looking, largest, cleanest ana 
soundest bulbs of the lot. I am awfully sorry 
that I did not know about you people before I or¬ 
dered a bulb but I have found out that it does not 
aiways pay to buy through large and fancy cata¬ 
logs, neither does it pay to go all through the 
West looking for something better.” 
From a Florist, Pennsylvaina—“APPEAL did the 
best of all my Glads. Giant flowers, dug out good 
healthy bulbs and gave a plentiful increase in bulb- 
lets. I have over 300 varieties but APPEAL had 
them all beat.” 
From New York—“I want to thank you for the 
good service and fine bulbs I have always had from 
you. Especially, want to tell you that FLOR RICO, 
which you sent me as an extra last year, I con¬ 
sider the most beautiful purple Glad I have ever 
grown or seen. ALICE REID is also a beauty.” 
From Indiana—“The best bulb investment I ever 
made. Neighbors rave over them.” 
From Illinois—“Bulbs I got from you last year were 
very nice and so were the flowers,” 
From Connecticut—“Am enclosing an order and can 
truthfully say that I was more than satisfied with 
last years order. Your variety ALICE REID was 
the best in my garden and I grow over 100 var¬ 
ieties and 10,000 bulbs. It certainly stands up well 
and blossomed right to the top.” 
From Massachusetts—“ALICE REID was one of 
the loviiest p.nk Glads I have ever seen. I shall 
have more next year. 
From New York—“I just had to tell you what beau¬ 
tiful Gladiolus I raised last year from your bulbs. 
People ask me where I get my bulbs and I refer 
them to you.” 
From Michigan—“Last spiing I sent you a small or¬ 
der for gladiolus bulbs and as an extra you sent 
me a bulb of Appeal for trial. Well, I’ve tried it 
and I’ll say it’s a grand variety. APPEAL beats 
everything else in my garden for ear’iness of 
of bloom. Two long spikes of large flowers. It prov¬ 
ed to be one of the strongest growers of over 75 
varieties I have and among the tallest in spike 
length. I have Picardy, Phipps, Minuet, Marmora, 
Duna, Coronation, Rapture and a raft of others 
that are supposed to be topnotch, so I am not 
comparing APPEAL to a lot of scrubs. And so, 
thank you once more for that fine variety. 
I believe I ordered Bleeding Heart and Dr. Bai¬ 
ley from you. They are both beauties and the 
latter is one of my great favorites.”
