EARLY ORDERS PAY. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
I do not run bargain sales later in the season. The prices given here are for the entii-e spi*ing season of 1938. 
They are as low as good bulbs can be sold for. Many do not consider that much hand labor is required in the grow¬ 
ing of Gladiolus Bulbs. They are planted by hand, dug by hand, tops cut off by hand, later cleaned and inspected 
by hand and later must be packed by hand for shipping. Many have started growing gladiolus Bulbs and have tried 
selling them for less than cost of production. They are doing something else now. Early orders get the pick of my 
stock, late orders I may not be able to fill at all. This is a disappointment to both of us. 
SIZE OF BULBS 
Large size bulbs ai*e inches or over in diameter. 
Medium Size bulbs are from % of an inch up to 1% inch in diameter. 
Either size should make a satisfactory bloom. The larger size generally blooms earlier with a little larger spike. 
GUARANTEE 
No grower can guai-antee that every bulb he sells will bloom. I had a lot of nice large healthy bulbs that did not 
bloom last summer. I have heard from others that they had the same trouble (their bulbs were not grown by 
me). I lay it to the dry weather. I do guarantee that every bulb I send to you will be true to name, healthy a<nd 
up to size. 
WHY GROW GLADIOLUS? 
Do you like beautiful flowers? Probably some of your “shut in” friends do too. Pei'haps you have a sick friend. 
What is nicer for a cut flower than the long keeping Gladiolus Bloom. In the sick room, for table or general house 
decoration, there is a color and shade for every occasion, that is unequaled by any other flower. 
Pull Cultural Instructions with every order. 
THRIPS 
Do not let these tiny insect pests deprive you of the pleasure of growing glads. I have never had to spray for 
them in my garden. I do not let them get started. My Cultural Directions tell you how to keep them out of your 
garden. You will not get thrips from the bulbs you buy from me. Don’t throw away your bulbs because you had 
Thrips last year. 
TERMS 
My terms are cash with order. Eveiy order postpaid in U. S. if it totals $1 or more. Postage and packing on 
small orders under $1 will be 10c extra. If you send too much money or I am unable to All your order the amount 
due you will be returned promptly. Six bulbs will be sold at the dozen rate. 25% cash will hold your order to April 
1 at which time it will be shipped C. O. D. for the balance unless you' remit in full before. Please do not have 
small orders sent C. O. D. as the extra cost does not pay you. State in your order the date you want your 
bulbs shipped. Order early and have them shipped when you want them. Do not wait until you are ready to plant 
as it may be too late. My references—The Franklin National Bank, The Franklin Chamber of Commerce. 
Mistakes will sometimes happen. Please do not call me bad names before giving me a chance to rectify them.
