NEW BULBS AND NEW PRICES 
For this year we are listing several new ones. That is, will be new to many cus¬ 
tomers. All of these we have tried out several seasons. In fact, long enough to work up 
a stock from a start of only a few bulblets. So we can truthfully recommend them for 
their performance under our own personal observation. Some of the older varieties 
have been dropped from our list to make room for the new ones which we believe are 
superior in many ways. These are mostly quoted at popular prices. The prices on many 
of the standard varieties have been reduced .to such a point that, if you really want to 
grow fine Glads, you can’t afford to waste, your time and money on cheap mixtures and 
inferior varieties. Good bulbs are the first important thing necessary to produce good 
blooms. Many of our bulbs are jumbos in size. Dealers can’t pay express on real large 
bulbs and compete. Our bulbs are all planted by hand; dug, cleaned, sorted and packed 
by hand, under the writer’s own personal supervision. Our Glads are planted on fresh 
land every year and stored in our air conditioned bulb house. That is two reasons why 
you get better bulbs than if you buy from back lot city growers who use the same land 
every year and have no satisfactory storage. Don’t be misled by cold storage bulbs. They 
are not a success. Cold storage, most times, is very unnatural. They just don’t get the 
proper temperature and humidity with a current of air for ventilation. Cold storage 
bulbs frequently come blind or fail to bloom. Our bulbs are treated with cynogas in bulb 
house; treated with napthalene flakes for the winter. Bulbs are soaked in mercuric 
chloride and bulblets in rototox when planting and are sprayed from three to six times 
with rototox during the growing season. This insures your getting clean, healthy bulbs 
free from thrips. We will not only be glad to furnish you with bulbs, but will be glad 
to help you in every way possible. If you will write us we will be glad to help you solve 
your problems and overcome your troubles in producing larger and better Glads than 
you have grown in the past. We guarantee satisfaction. Our best recommendations are 
satisfied customers who order bulbs from us every year and tell their friends.
