Three Wonderful Collections 
Bargains that Fit Your 
Pockethook 
A customer that is pleased with my bulbs and service is 
the best “ad” that I could ever hope to get. It is my am¬ 
bition to produce gladioli from only CHOICE varieties, 
TRUE TO NAME, with HIGH QUALITY bulbs at 
PRICES LOW ENOUGH to meet the gladiolus needs of 
the average person. 
After carefully figuring my production costs, order fill¬ 
ing expense, etc., I find that if I use some of my spare time 
before the order filling rush begins in the Spring, in mak¬ 
ing up and LABELING these standard collections selected 
from some of my best varieties, so as to have them ready 
for mailing without any further cost, I can save a large 
part of my labor expense. I am passing this saving on 
direct to you, because the more you can save, the more 
bulbs you can afford to buy, and every bulb I ship is a 
silent salesman for me. 
Those of you who delay ordering might find that my 
prepared collections have run out on some varieties. In 
such cases, I shall replace them with other varieties of the 
same color and price, as nearly as possible. Please keep 
in mind that there can be NO CHANGES IN THE COL¬ 
LECTIONS, because that will cause extra work and add 
to my expense. This cannot be allowed at such prices. So 
please do not ask me to substitute other varieties. It can¬ 
not be done. 
In making up these collections I will use only large fine 
bulbs which measure 1 bi inch and up in diameter, as these 
produce the finest spikes. Guaranteed true to name, each 
variety SEPARATELY LABELED. 
Postage prepaid by me on THESE COLLECTIONS IN 
U. S. A. 
See my Special Inducements for early orders on page 8. 
Please remember that there can be no NO SUBSTITU¬ 
TIONS OR CHANGES in these COLLECTIONS unless I 
find it necessary when certain varieties are exhausted.
