I wish to thank my customers for their patronage of the past season and for the 
many fine letters received. Below I give a few quotations from letters regarding my 
introductions of former years. 
I’ve had some magnificent blooms from it (Christabel).—J. E. Suckling, London, Eng. 
I take pleasure in stating that I think your Christabel and Flaming Meteor were two 
of the finest th:'ngs we had in the garden this season.—J. H. Heberling, Easton, Illinois. 
Just thought I would let you know what I think of Flaming Meteor and how it stood 
the dry hot summer. Only had 16 bulbs but cut 16 of the grandest spikes standing full 
5 V 2 feet tall, and what blooms, just grand, one of the best in my patch. Everyone admired 
it greatly.—W. F. Hemmerling, Waterloo, Iowa. 
I wish to thank you especially for the free bulb of Christabel. We thought it the 
most beautiful Glad in our garden.—Miss Helen M. Conger, Mora, Minn. 
I have grown Christabel three years and it is a real Glad, large bloom, good color, and 
straight spike. Flaming Meteor ... is certainly a good red, 4 y 2 to 5 feet from small size.— 
J. E. Odom, Amarillo, Texas. 
Speaking of Flaming Meteor, Mr. R. L. Lord of Peoria, Illinois, writes: “I cannot say 
too much for it,” and proceeds to tell of its performance under temperatures of 110 to 
113 degrees. 
The above are from just a few of the letters of similar nature received during the 
last few months.

over $10.00, I shall prepay express if wanted delivered before March 1st.

DISCOUNTS: 10% discount on orders of $5.00 or over if accompanied by cash and 
15% on orders over $20.00. These discounts do not apply to bulbs listed in the wholesale 
list. If discount is not deducted by the customer, I endeavor to send something extra 
that will be satisfactory. Discounts do not apply on collections, or to 1937 introductions. 
Quality of Stock 
I aim to send out only healthy stock free from thrips or other pests. My stock has 
been fumigated and as for quality of bulbs, I always aim to send out bulbs that will give 
satisfaction. I cannot guarantee bulblets to grow but in case of failure, I am glad to make 
adjustment if the fault is mine. 
Glad Publications 
I would advise that every Glad fan join the New England Gladiolus Society and 
receive their large yearbook with many interesting articles on all phases of Glad growing. 
Send $1.00 to the secretary, Albin K. Parker, Norwood, Massachusetts. 
For those who want frequent Glad news, I suggest that a subscription of $1.00 be 
sent in to Mr. H. I. Dally, Lebanon, Ohio, for The Glad Grower, a little magazine with 
timely articles on the problems of the Glad fan. 
Iris Fanciers 
All interested in newer varieties of Iris are invited to send for my list of novelty 
Iris and Daffodils which will probably be issued in June. 
Books 
As in previous years, I am interested in exchanging bulbs for books on Natural 
History and kindred subjects that I can use. Also, for Geographic Magazines issued before 
1909. Those having books that they think might interest me are invited to send for a list 
of my wants.
