Thank You ! 
Another year has passed since last I wrote this “Thank You,” and I want to 
tell you how much I appreciate all my customers and “glad” friends have done for 
me the past year. You have been liberal with your orders, kind with your sugges¬ 
tions and generous with your compliments and that should be enough to make us do 
our utmost to trv to improve in every possible way the growing and handling of our 
stocks and the careful filling of your orders. 
We want to give you a personal service so if you have a question of any kind 
connected with gladiolus I hope you will write and if, from experience, I can tell 
you anything that will help you, I want to do so regardless of whether you are sending 
an order or not. If you do send an order it will always have my personal attention and, 
while I cannot promise to put up every order myself as I did not long ago, I can 
assure you that some member of my own family—who I feel has a real interest in 
seeing that the customer is p'eased—does pick out the stock for you. Still we are 
all human and if there is anything, no matter how small, that is not 100% satisfactory 
when you receive your order or after you have grown it, I do' hope you will give me 
an opportunity to adjust it. 
We feel we have a fine location, here on Cape Cod, for growing bulbs. We can 
plant early and frosts usually hold off until mid-October, giving us a long growing 
season. The summer nights are cool and we have unlimited water available for 
irrigation when needed. The new insulated bulb storage and curing room are working 
out nicely allowing us to give our stock the best of care after it comes out of the 
ground. 
We have many visitors to the field; some that come a long way just to see it; 
others that are touring the Cape (the field is only a couple of miles from the main 
Cape highway) and just stop to see us. You are all most welcome at any time 
and if you are in this locality be sure to stop. The picture above shows you the sign 
to watch for in front of the farm. 
From early July until October you will usually find something of interest either 
in the new varieties or among the many seedlings we are growing. 
I hope 1938 will be a truly happy, healthy, “glad” year for you all in every 
possible way.
