G. A. SHAW & SONS 
^rQSieUtOSld 
The 1937 growing season in the Rogue River Valley of Southern Oregon has yielded a fine crop of gladiolus bulbs for the 
winter and spring trade. From our 22 acres we have harvested an excellent supply of superior bulbs, and we take pleasure in 
offering the following quotations. Also, at this time, we wish to thank again our customers for favors of the past year. 
Last summer, when Henry B. Majeski (Redwoods Gladiolus Gardens) closed out his business, the entire stock and equip¬ 
ment was purchased by G. A. Shaw & Sons to augment our already large supply. In this we present a two-fold advantage to 
our customers: First, we offer twice the number of varieties from which to select orders, and, second, we have nearly twice 
the amount of stock from which to fill the orders. 
We especially wish to call attention to our offers in SHIRLEY TEMPLE and NEW ERA appearing on Page One. Last year 
these two outstanding late introductions were recognized as “comers.” This year they have established a place for them¬ 
selves as leaders among the newer glads.
