'NGs y an sale l of ll Gladiolus Bulbs 
At Digging-Time Prices—Fall Delivery 
It’s grood business to buy Glads in the fall. 
Fall buying gives you the pick of the stock, 
assures your getting the varieties and sizes 
you want and at very reasonable prices. 
I recommend buying at least part of one’s 
Gladiolus bulbs in the fall, for several reasons. 
One doesn’t feel it so much if he buys part 
of his Glad bulbs in the fall instead of wait¬ 
ing until spring. 
“The cream of the crop” is what I promise 
my fall Glad buyers. 
Then, too, it’s fun having your bulbs and 
bulblets right where you can watch them and 
keep them safely through the winter. Just to 
“paw them over” from time to time, and vis¬ 
ualize the rare and beautiful spikes of bloom 
they will produce, is no small compensation, 
as any real fan will know. 
I don’t claim that my fall prices are always 
lower than in spring. Sometimes otherwise. 
But I fill the fall orders so liberally that the 
customer Is ’way to the good anyhow. 
Three Size Glad Bulbs 
The LARGE BULBS measure (in diameter) 
from l 1 ^ inches up, mixed sizes. (Part No. 1 
and part No. 2 sizes.) This size is designated 
by the letter “L”. 
MEDIUM BULBS measure % inch to an 
inch or larger, mixed sizes. (Part No. 3 and 
part No. 4 sizes.) These Medium Bulbs bloom 
splendidly, though the large bulbs make still 
larger spikes and more of them. Medium bulbs 
are designated by the letter “M”. 
BOTE: If sold out No. 1 size, we may send 
all No. 2 for Large, but more of them. If out 
No. 3, will send all No. 4 but more of them. 
Usually have enough so can send as noted 
above, however. 
SMALL BUIiBS are designated by the letter 
“S”. They will average nearly half-inch in 
diameter. Not sold as blooming sizes, yet 
many will bloom. 
NOTE: It will help us in filling your Glad 
bulb orders if you will mention the size each 
time: Large, Medium, Small, or just the letters 
It., M. or S. 
Prices, Terms, Delivery 
Gladiolus prices are guaranteed for this 
fall only—until my spring catalogue is mailed 
in January. Many of these offers will be 
withdrawn altogether in January. 
Each item on your Glad order must amount 
to not less than 10c. 
TERMS: Cash with order, or % cash with 
order, balance C. O. D. Or send ^4 with order, 
and balance any time before we are ready to 
ship. 
DELIVERY : (Except wholesale lots.) I 
pay all postage or express charges, and guar¬ 
antee safe delivery. (My choice, whether par¬ 
cel post or express.) 
If your express office is different from your 
mail address, please be SURE to give express 
office address also when ordering. 
What Size Shall I Buy? 
A Large bulb usually produces two spikes 
of blossoms, sometimes three. A Medium bulb 
will produce a splendid spike, maybe two. A 
Small bulb is not certain to bloom, but many 
smaller bulbs will bloom, producing smaller 
spikes. 
Medium and Small bulbs are especially val¬ 
uable for producing new, vigorous bulbs and 
many bulblets. Large and Medium bulbs best 
for blooms. 
If You Pay Transportation 
All Glad bulbs in this catalogue are priced 
PREPAID, except wholesale lots. 
BUT, many customers have been much 
pleased with my special proposition. 
If the customer pays express on Glads priced 
prepaid I will send extra Glads to more than 
offset the express charges. I’ll send extra 
bulbs of kinds on your order or some good 
kinds, my selection, or maybe both. 
If order part from wholesale list and part 
from prepaid lists, you will find it much to 
your advantage to do as many others have 
done. Just say, “Send all at my expense and 
add more Glads to COVER SENDING COSTS 
ON PREPAID ITEMS.” 
On good size orders express usually cheaper, 
as bulbs take a special low rate by express. 
But if you specify parcel post shipment and 
you pay carrying charges, then we ship C. O. 
D. for postage. Please do not send any money 
in such cases for postage or try to estimate 
it. Nor say you will remit for postage later. 
We keep no postage accounts. Either express, 
you pay express on arrival, or parcel post, the 
postage C. O. D. 
Any Glads priced prepaid may be ordered 
f. o. b. Boulder, at the prepaid prices, but I 
then send you more than enough extra stock 
to offset the carrying charges. (Order should 
be $3.00 or more to take advantage of this 
offer.) 
Send list for price on the lot, if you care to, 
but only for good sized lots, not a list amount¬ 
ing to only a few dollars. I’ll make you price 
f. o. b. Boulder on the list. Please state defi¬ 
nitely the kinds, sizes and quantities of each 
wanted. 
We ship bulbs all winter. Prefer to ship 
soon as bulbs are ready, because have so 
many other shipments in spring. But, of 
course, will hold until spring if you say so. 
Safe delivery guaranteed. You take no risk, 
no matter when we ship. 
SPRING DELIVERY. I will store orders 
amounting to $4.00 or more upon payment of 
25 per cent or more on the order this fall. But 
so far as possible, I need to ship Glad bulbs 
THIS FALL and early winter. Short on stor¬ 
age room. Still more extra bulbs will be sent 
if you let me ship soon as bulbs are ready in 
fall and early winter. 
|yf\T|^|r My fall Glad prices are made out 
■ IvCi early. If I am too low on some 
items, that’s your good luck. If a bit high, 
I’ll send plenty more Glads to adjust. Thus 
prices are in your favor “in the Long run.” 
Second Choice, Please 
Sooner or later, some kinds and sizes of Glad 
bulbs will be sold out. Saves a lot of time and 
correspondence if you will kindly name a few 
varieties that we may send in case sold out 
any on your order. Or say if we may send 
another size. 
SOKGS Long Count 
As all my old customers know, your GLAD 
orders will be filled most liberally. I could 
promise you more for your money but I like 
to surprise you by doing better than I offer. 
The larger the order, the more liberal the 
overcount.
