THE LIBIS GARDENS 
A k r o O h i o 
GLADIOLUS SOCIETIES 
Along with the rising tide of floriculture and 
a realization of the importance of gladiolus has 
been the development and organization of many 
gladiolus societies throughout the country. These 
societies stimulate interest in the gladiolus by 
annual exhibitions and by monthly or quarterly 
publications, occasional bulletins, or a year book. 
OHIO STATE GLADIOLUS SOCIETY 
The Ohio State Gladiolus Society welcomes you

Mr. L. J. Libis, 
Dear Sir: I want to tell you how pleased I 
was with the gladiolus which I raised the past 
season from the bulbs which I purchased from 
you, and which by the way were clean, uniform 
as to size, and free from thrip. 
The blooms were the most beautiful I have 
ever raised. They were marvelously colored, 
large and true to type. 
I hope to add more varieties to my collection 
this season. 
Respectfully yours, 
ULVA DURKIN, Akron, Ohio. 
Dear Mr. Libis: 
Our Gladiolus the past season were the finest, largest 
and most beautiful we ever had. The spikes were the 
strongest and tallest' 1 have ever seen. We have moving 
pictures of them in colors and you must see them to 
believe it. 
The bulbs dug last Fall were the largest and healthi' 
est we ever grew. Our bulbs were bought from you the 
past two seasons, and we expect to get more this com' 
ing Spring. 
Yours very trulv, 
MRS. A. HARGRAVES, 
Silver Lake, Ohio. 
D ear Mr. Libis: 
I am anxious to get your new Catalog. 
I want to mention especially the pleasing results I 
had from my planting of Yellow Primulas. They came 
through last year s severe winter siege well and bloomed 
luxuriously over a long period. Planted with Forget-Me- 
Nots, they were indeed a very pretty sight. 
Last but not least, 1 took first prize with a spike 
of Picardy. I have had no trouble of any sort with 
bulbs bought from you. 1 always follow directions in 
Catalog as per soaking and planting and curing pro' 
cesses. Flowers are always large, good color, healthy 
foliage and bulbs clean. 
I am looking forward to a good growing season this 
year. 
MRS. GEO. A. SUMMER. 
Fairlawn, Ohio. 
Dear Mr. Libis: 
I was so pleased with our Gladiolus this last sum' 
mer. The flowers were very, very beautiful. Picardy 
was especially lovely; and so was Idabelle Firestone, 
and Wedgewood, too. The flowers were tall and large, 
as gorgeous as any seen anywhere. 
I followed instructions given in your Catalog for 
treating the bulbs before planting, and the plants were 
not troubled with thrips. When I receive your Catalog 
I plan to order more bulbs for this seaon. 
Sincerely, 
MRS. GEORGE BERG, 
Akron, Ohio.
