Guarantee 
I guarantee to do my utmost to please my customers. I guarantee the bulbs 
to be free from disease and insects at the time of shipping. If anything goes wrong 
and the glads do not do 
well I want to know of it 
and if it is the fault of 
the bulbs will either re¬ 
place them or refund the 
money and shall at all 
times be willing to do 
what I can to make my 
customers successful in 
their efforts to grow 
glads. 
However I do not 
guarantee that the cus¬ 
tomer will like all vari¬ 
eties. Occasionally some 
one writes in the fall 
and complains because 
certain varieties he didn’t 
care for and would like 
to exchange them. Of 
course this cannot be 
done. Further I do not 
guarantee that the bulbs harvested will be good as so many things can happen 
due to bad growing conditions or disease in the soil or for some other reason the 
bulbs harvested may not be first class so if there are any complaints in regard to 
the quality of the bulbs it should be made on receipt of them or soon after. 
Disclaimer 
I, Elmer Gove, try my utmost to have all bulbs true to name, free from 
disease and insects of all kinds and send out only first class stock but I wish it 
to be understood that in case of failure of crop for any reason whatsoever or bulbs 
are found to be untrue to name that I will not be held responsible beyond the 
actual cost of the bulbs. 
My Rating by Stars 
★ ★★★ means the variety is “extra good.” 
★ ★ ★ V2 means “very good.” 
★ ★★ means “good.” 
★ ★Vi2 /means “fairly good.” 
As you will see there are very few four star varieties. It takes the very best 
to rate four stars. Some of the two or two and a half star varieties no doubt you 
would like but most of them have some feature that keeps them out of the higher 
ranking. 
Necessarily this star rating has to be a rather composite affair. A variety 
may rate higher as an exhibition variety than as a commercial or vice versa but 
we have to give a rating that will average for both classes. My rating may change 
on various varieties from year to year according as they perform in my field. 
Many varieties do perform differently in different locations so I can’t guarantee 
all varieties will do as well for you as for me. On the other hand I know many will 
do better in some locations than in my garden.

This shows the way they grow in Oregon. A beautiful sight. 
“My glads were the ‘talk of the town and while our little city has the usual number 
of glad growers none that I know had anything to compare with mine. I want to thank 
you for always sending good vigorous healthy bulbs. 1 feel that they are the necessary 
foundation for success in growing glads.” — C. F. Reineking, Wise.
