THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 
“/ had occasion the other day to see some gladiolus bulbs 
that were received in Winnipeg from your gardens and 
we were very well pleased with the quality of the bulbs. 
Will appreciate your putting my name on your mailing 
list. I am not exhibiting gladioli but like to get good fresh 
stock each year and, naturally, want to buy the best 
quality bulbs obtainable.” 5-26- 37. R. B. H., Winni¬ 
peg, Manitoba. 
“7 received the order of glads today. I never had better 
looking corms and you were certainly very liberal in 
extras. I never was treated better by any other grower.” 
4-5- 37. A. P. S., Lancaster, Pa. 
“Bulbs arrived in fine shape. They are exceptionally 
fine looking and free from any signs of disease or bruis¬ 
ing. Thanks for the very generous over count and the 
extras.” 4-23- 37. M. C., Ithaca, N. Y. 
PRICES 
We try to quote prices at once as low as 
those of other reputable gladiolus specialists, 
dissolving all complicated discounts and 
periodic price reductions into a simple, lowest 
price possible and yet take all known precau¬ 
tions to supply healthy and pest free bulbs. 
For the most part we price L, M and S 
bulbs at the commonly asked prices for No. 
2, 4 and 6 bulbs but we deliver, as long as our 
stocks last, mostly No. 1, 3 and 5, which gives 
you greater blooming value, particularly 
when buying the M and S sizes. 
Cash orders entitle the buyer to instant 
segregation and protection of their stock 
until proper time for delivery. 
Our practice of overcounting and/or in¬ 
clusion of samples equal or superior to sorts 
purchased, and of oversizing the smaller sizes 
when stocks permit, never fails to more than 
equalize any price fluctuations that may 
develop. A grower is known by the customers 
he keeps. 
WHOLESALE PRICES 
Bulbs and bulblets priced only per each 
are mainly new and scarce sorts and not yet 
commonly priced lower than the dozen rate 
price at wholesale. On such items, where 
stocks permit, to legitimate commercial 
growers, we will add as much additional stock 
as circumstances warrant. Particularly lib¬ 
eral to catalogers. On stocks offered per 100, 
the newer sorts are as low as we can quote 
them, considering our quality bulbs and our 
like promise to be as liberal as circumstances 
warrant. The more common ones, offered per 
1000 by many growers, unless you demand 
our quality bulbs under above terms, these 
you will please order elsewhere. 
“I find that, though you do not make wholesale quota¬ 
tions, your libetal ovrecount and extras make up the 
difference, and the stocR 1 have received from you is all 
perfect.” 3-19-37. J. M. R., Jasper, Texas. 
BULBS Priced per each. 
12 sold at 10 rate.

TERMS OF SALE 
Cash with order. 
Delivery prepaid in U. S. Gladiolus ship¬ 
ments in March and April, or soon as possible 
on orders arriving thereafter. 
Delivery prepaid to Canada and other 
countries in the Postal Union, except that 
purchases at 100 rate prices should add at 
rate 50c per 100 for Large size and 20c per 
100 for Medium sized bulbs; other sizes pre¬ 
paid. Canadian purchasers must enclose 
with order the Mailing Label secured from the 
Secretary of Destructive Insect & Pest Act 
Advisory Board, Dept, of Agric., Ottawa, 
Ont. 
If a bulk of bulbs is ordered likely to exceed 
15 pounds (about 150 large bulbs), it is de¬ 
sirable that Canadian customers apply for 
permit for entry by express, notifying us of 
your express address. 
If the Canadian customer wishes Oversize 
Jumbos or to purchase generally on the F.O.B. 
plan, kindly apply for permit for entry by 
express. No foreign F.O.B. service by mail. 
Foreign remittances may be made payable 
to our order direct or at Central National Bank 
of Cleveland, Ohio, by International Money 
Order or New York Bank Draft payable in 
U. S. dollars, thus making extraordinary sav¬ 
ings in exchange. Be sure to enclose Mailing 
Permit Label if required by your country. 
Replacement or refund purchase price any 
bulb, root, plant or seed that does not prove 
true to name or does not arrive in condition 
herein represented. Bulblet germination is 
not guaranteed. 
No substitutions will be made. 
Orders received until planting but subject 
to stock being unsold. To get proper prop¬ 
agation of new sorts, it does not pay us to 
hold for further sale bulbs and bits priced 
only per each beyond May 1st. Order early. 
Our selling season is very short. 
“Our order and check enclosed. Please ship at once.” 
Note: We get several hundered of these every 
year in February. From northern Vermont, 
upper Michigan, Minnesota and Montana 
and all parts north. At best, shipping some 
hundreds of thousands of bulbs is a heavy 
task and we will appreciate it if your order 
permits us to get the bulbs into your hands 
about a month before they can possibly be 
planted in your location. 
“Among the white Ruffolace was a gorgeous orange. 
You don’t suppose it could be a sport? Nothing doing 
on replacement. I consider you are the loser, not I. Pm 
satisfied and am sending you some of the bulblets. Hope 
you will grow them and indentify so I can order more.” 
Note: We have next to no reports on mis¬ 
labeling but above is about an average sample 
of the few we received.
