FACTS, BULBS AND PRICES 
In writing this Gladiolus Price List, we have attempted to give you the facts about 
every variety we list. Compare our list and prices with those of the leading Glad 
growers of the North, East and West, and you will agree this is the cream of the best. 
Instead of describing them with a lot of new adjectives and including colored pictures 
the reproduction of some artist’s dream, we give you a statement of their actual per¬ 
formance, the records of which are taken from our field book. We keep a record of 
every variety in our field, telling you the blooming dates, the introducer, the type 
classification, latest A.G.S. rating, diameter of floret, buds on one spike, number open, 
growth habits, and ability to propagate. If they don’t perform for us they just do not 
get in our list. We are not brokers, but growers and specialists. We began growing 
Glads 25 years ago as a hobby and always found a ready demand for our surplus bulbs. 
As our collection and stock increased, the demand increased until, to take care of the 
situation, we are forced to publish a price list. The prices herein are for large bulbs 
from iy 2 in. diameter up. Many bulbs grow to 2V 2 in. and larger. We stand back of 
every bulb sold, guarantee them clean, young, healthy stock, free from disease and 
insect pests, to be full of vitality and true to name. These bulbs are grown under the 
most modern methods from propagating the bulblets to delivering the bulbs to you 
from our new “air-conditioned” bulb storage house. Our stock is absolutely free from 
thrips. All our Glads are sprayed during growing season as a preventative, rather 
than a remedy. Good bulbs are scarce this year on account of the unusual drought, 
almost 60 days without rain. Only by irrigation w T ere we able to succeed this year. 
All of these efforts were rewarded at the Georgia State Show by winning 24 Blue 
Ribbons, the Holzman Trophy, Achievement Award, Sweepstakes and three beautiful 
vases. If you desire buying smaller bulbs, the price for medium size bulbs is 25 per cent 
discount from the prices herein. The Championship Spike at the Georgia State Show 
was grown from a No. 2 size bulb sold by us. With every order we send you a copy of 
cultural directions. We want you to succeed and you can’t fail if you use our bulbs and 
follow our instructions. While the prices here might look high to some, we will include 
enough extra bulbs to give you big value for your money. A trial order will convince 
you. Prices are prepaid anywhere in the United States. No mail order accepted under 
one dollar.
