We are offering a fine stock of gladiolus for the year 1938. Absolutely free from 
disease, you will find them true to name. If you are just getting into the raising 
of gladiolus and do not find yourself flush with money, I suggest you invest in the 
smaller sized bulbs and bulblets. These will make a good growth the first season 
and give greater increase than the larger sizes. 
Our stock of bulbs has been in tight containers with Naphthalene flakes for a 
period of five weeks. If you wish to soak your bulbs before planting, use 
Bichloride of Mercury, (1 oz. to seven gallons of water) in a wooden container, 
soaking nine to twelve hours. This is poison and must be used with care; sure 
death to thrips. 
You will note we are offering gladiolus in ten’s and 100’s. Twenty-five can be 
bought at the 100 rate. Bulbs will be shipped to destination by parcel post or 
express as requested. If sent parcel post, charges will be prepaid and C. 0. D. 
transportation. This is our twentieth year in growing gladiolus. I believe our 
customers will say we have dealt fairly with every one. If you wish to pay cne- 
fourth of any order, we can put up and save for you until wanted in the spring. 
This will insure a good selection. 
Add sales tax if you are living in Ohio. 
In the twenty years we have raised gladiolus we have placed several seedlings that 
have given splendid results. Several of these are in my list, such as Louise Smith, 
Harriet Tilton, Aureole, Justus F. and others. 
The season of 1938 we are offering to the trade and gladiolus fans one which is a 
gem. This new seedling has not had any special attention but regular field grown 
care and many of the bloom, season of 1937, measured 6% inches in diameter, v/e 
have a fine stock of this seedling and for the year 1938 are oifering to the puolic 
for the first time. Description as followst "Peach and apricot shading to canary, 
with Vermillion pencilings in the throat and violet anthers." Many bloom and of 
strong texture — average height, 3 ft. — straight stem. Is a great propagator, 
increasing very rapidly, perfectly free from disease, and many of the bulbs pro¬ 
duced from thirty to fifty cormels from one bulb. We are offering these at $1.00 
each, known as No. 63.
