A BLUE BOOK OF RARE GLADS

NOTICE 
The pricing of gladiolus bulbs is somewhat a gamble. We 
never know accurately just what other growers are asking for 
their stock, but we do siay this: WE WILL MEET ANY RE¬ 
LIABLE GROWER’S PRICES. We are not intending to cut 
prices, nor shall we—and we consider a grower reliable ONLY 
when he is an accepted grower who issues a regular list each 
year. Such growers are considered reliable because they are 
making their living by this business, and the fly-by-night 
type of grower is not to be considered as an honest, reliable 
and dependable type. A grower who is in business one year, 
and gone the next, cannot give you satisfaction on any com¬ 
plaints you may have to make, and the reliable type of grower 
fs only too willing to adjust any and all complaints. So con¬ 
sider that phase when you order your bulbs this year. 
SPECIAL attention given to orders from old customers. 
Mention that fact. 
SHIPMENT 
We can ship bulbs to you at any time. Winter weather does 
not bother us as, when conditions are severe, we ship by 
express, and shipments are insured. Shipments are packed in 
good condition and insulated against fi’ost or heat. Place in 
a cool place upon receipt and allow to rest for a few hours! 
to gradually warm up before opening package. If you prefer 
to have us ship parcel post charges collect, just mention this 
and we will put in some extra bulbs to make up for your 
expense.
