Due to our professional work crowding us so hard 
in the last two years we have had to give up much of 
our time to the care of our patients so that we have 
been unable to carry through an active sales campaign 
as we would like to have. However, we wish to thank 
our customers who have written in and ordered stock 
anyway and we hope that the many who have written 
in for our lists will have a little patience with us this 
season with our lists arriving so late. We will try and 
get your orders out on time and all correspondence will 
be cared for promptly to the best of our ability. 
We wish to impress on all growers that it is vitally 
necessary to treat all stock, no matter where pur¬ 
chased, before planting and we suggest that you use 
the Bi-Chloride of Mercury treatment. We feel that 
this is the best all around treatment for thrip and 
disease. Join up with a Gladiolus society and help fin¬ 
ance the work they are doing, although the National 
society seems to be going through a very severe test 
of right to exist, let’s help the best we can. Others 
that deserve your support also are the following: New 
England Gladiolus Society, Empire State Society, 
Detroit Gladiolus Society, Ohio State and many others 
will be glad to get your support. 
The Winnipeg Society is also another one that is 
right at the top in their exhibitions and for real ex¬ 
hibition quality you will find this show hard to beat 
any place. If you wish to see the latest in exhibition 
varieties and seedlings just take a trip to Winnipeg 
next summer; it will be well worth your time.
