HARROLD’S 
Southern ^ Oregon - Grown 
QlaAiolu^ 
All the stock offered here is grown in the Southern Oregon District that 
has made such a remarkable reputation for the quality of its bulbs in the past 
few years. Our stock is all grown on fresh clean ground each year, and the 
greatest care is exercised to produce a quality suitable to the requirements 
of the most critical professional grower. Our stock is disbudded to prevent 
drainage of energy from the bulbs caused when-seeds are allowed to develop. 
NO COMMERCIAL FLOWERS ARE CUT OR SOLD FROM THE BULBS 
WE OFFER HERE. 
The Oregon State department of agriculture is co-operating to the fullest 
possible extent with Oregon growers, to assure the shipment of pest free 
stock. A state-wide quarantine has been established covering treatment of 
both incoming, and outgoing ship nents; and all Gladiolus stocks grown 
in Oregon must have passed the prescribed fumigation routine before they 
may be moved from the growers warehouse. This includes fumigation with 
Cynogas, at three apj!i ons spaced ten days apart; not only of the crop 
itself, but also the wa.'eliOi.:C and all handling equipment. This routine is 
carried on under the j.' sonal supervision of a State Horticultural Inspector 
in every case. This car. ampled with periodic field inspections throughout 
the growing season by the same inspector, leaves little to chance as to the 
good health and pest free condition of the bulbs. Science offers no more 
complete assurance of stock that will be free from thrips and other pests. 
You may buy Oregon grown Gladiolus with confidence. 
Our prices are based upon competitive market prices current at this time 
for an equal quality of bulbs. You may have quotations even from other 
local firms that are below these quoted herein, but in comparing them you 
should remember the following facts. First: we do not grow the Gladiolus 
we offer here ourselves. Second: being contract grown by reliable, ex¬ 
perienced growers. With our stock obtained only after the bulbs are ready 
for shipment and after a season of rigid field inspection, we are in a position 
to select for you the absolute cream of this district’s crop. Third: We have 
no cull bulbs which must be sacrificed because of low quality, neither are 
we compelled to sluff off varieties that are not of value to the professional 
grower just because we had the stock and did not feel we could afford to 
throw it away. Fourth: We can best serve you by suppyling a premium quality 
bulb even at a slight premium in price as by so doing you are in turn enabled 
to produce a premium product.

stock, no responsibility for shrinkage or warehouse spoilage natural to

increases here to a noticeable degree due to the earliness of our season.
