GREETINGS 
I want to take this opportunity to thank all my customers of last season for their 
many and valued orders they entrusted with me. It enabled me to greatly increase our 
stock and blessed with a fine growing and harvesting season we have an unusually fine 
lot of bulbs this year that I am pleased to offer my customers. 
I cannot find words to express how much I enjoyed having so many of my old, as 
well as new, customers visit us at the gardens last season. The only thing I regret is 
I did not have several hours to spend wfch each one. As 1 plan to discontinue exhibiting 
at the Fairs I plan to be at the gardens on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons for 
you who find it convenient to come at this time so I hope to have more time to give 
to each party this year. I do hope each one of you will try and visit the garden at least 
once this year. (Better still if you can come each week as there is always something 
new.) 
If at any time I may be of help to you I shall be pleased to do so. 
Yours for More and Better Flowers, 
MAX L. LEAVITT. 
Guarantee. We aim to send out only high quality bulbs free from thrips and dis¬ 
ease and up to size as well as true to name. Should any prove otherwise we will gladly 
replace same. 
Extras. We give extras with all orders of $5.00 and over. I am giving as a special 
extra a bulb of a new variety, selling for $1.00 or more, besides the regular extras 
which we include with each order. 
Size of Bulbs. Note we have abbreviated Large L. Medium M. Small S. L. lyi 
inches or more, many are 2 or more, the best blooming size. M. % to 114 inches. 
This size will give good bloom but are later. S. 14 to %-inch. Some will bloom if 
planted early. Make good bulbs for next year. 
Disinfect Your Bulbs. It really pays and is not much work. All you need is a 
wooden pail or barrel or non-metal container, some sugar or salt bags, or you may use 
stockings if you only have a few bulbs of a kind. Bi-chloride of Mercury (Poison) is 
very good, 1 oz. to 7 gallons of water, soak 8-10 hours. This will kill any thrips as 
well as help keep the bulbs free of disease. Even if you have had good success without 
soaking I suggest you treat all bulbs whether your own or new stock you have bought. 
Varieties Not Listed. We have about all the new varieties on hand that we can 
furnish at market price as. well as all varieties listed in our last year’s catalog. Write 
us your wants and we will be pleased to quote you.

THE GRAY VARIETIES 
Has been very outstanding with us again this season. And I feel sure you will 
find any of these worthy additions to your collection. 
Mr. Leon Putnam of Lowell, Mass., wrote after growing them: “Your three new 
varieties of gladiolus Henet’s Favorite, Henet and Leah Ann were outstanding varieties 
in my garden and this speaks volumes when you take into consideration I grow over 
20,000 gladiolus and about 200 of the best varieties in these flowers.” 
Mr. Lins of the Trial Garden, Spring Green, Wis.: “Reports Leah Ann stepped up 
14 inches higher and Henet up to 52 inches with 22 buds. Henet’s Favorite was very 
good.” 
Mr. Young, the originator of Mary Ansteen, wrote: “I like Leah Ann and will look 
forward to next year when I hope to have enough large bulbs to make a better showing. 
About the clearest deep purple I have seen. Henet, too, is a beauty, being a bright rose 
pink and such large florets.” 
INTRODUCING 
Miss Ann. It is with pleasure I add this beautiful variety to the list of Gray Origina¬ 
tions. For sheer beauty you will hunt a long ways before you find a more beautiful 
variety. Color cream with a lavender cast, its stamens are snow white so that it 
enchants its original beauty. This makes a small plant about three feet, opening 
5-6 4-inch blooms at a time. For floral work it cannot be beat. Bulbs any size $3.00 
each. Bits., 50c, 3 for $1.00.
