Gladiolus Price List 
Spring 1938 
PLEASE READ 
ORDER EARLY! 
If you do this, we have more time to fill your order carefully. 
You stand a better. chance of getting exactly what you order. 
Stocks of most of the newer varieties and even of some of the old 
ones are scarce. We may be sold out before we receive your order. 
Should you be unable to order early we would be pleased to have 
you give second choice or let us substitute. Otherwise we will 
return the price of what we are forced to omit. We begin planting 
small bulbs and bulblets early in April and may not be able to 
supply you after that. 
GUARANTEE 
We shin clean, young, healthy, true to name stock. If it should 
happen that we make a mistake and your bulbs do not bloom true, 
we will replace them with extras. THRIPS! We have never had 
any in our fields, so we can’t furnish them for you. If the stock 
we ship you does not satisfy in every particular, return it and 
we will refund all it has cost you. 
DISCOUNTS, EXTRAS! 
We give overcount and extras with every order. The larger 
the order the more we can afford to give. We have a lot of new 
varieties that are a little too costly for most folks to buy and we 
propose to use these as extras. We are so confident that we can 
please you and give you as much for your money as anyone else 
that we are not naming any set discounts. Just give us a short 
list of varieties you would like to try and we will do our best to 
please you. Try it once. We may be able to send what you request 
even though it may be a small bulb or even a bulblet or so. Cost 
and our supply will govern that.
