VISITORS 
You are cordially invited to visit onr fields during the blooming season, from 
Jnly 15tli to October lOtli. The fields are located on the Murphy Road nine miles 
south of Grants Pass. Here yon will see up to 300 varieties of leading gladiolus 
in all their beauty. 
COLLECTIONS 
On i)age 20 will be found onr annual collection offers of the higher priced 
sorts. Look these over carefully as all are bargains. Select them yourself. We will 
meet prices of any reliable grower’s collection offers if we have the stock you 
desire. 
GRADED LOTS 
An equal number of the first five sizes will be sold at the regular price of 
No. 3 bulbs. For instance, if you wish five bulbs of each of the above mentioned 
sizes, 25 in all, simply order as graded lot and pay for size three. If we are out 
of any certain size will fill to the best of our judgment. If all planted at same 
time, will insure you of longer blooming season. 
BULBLETS 
Of the new and higher priced varieties we furnish large hand-picked bulblets. 
When sold in bulk (commercial sorts), they will be field run. We do not guaran¬ 
tee bulblets to grow. Bulblets of some varieties grow readily, while others are 
rather poor germinators and need good care. Most varieties will not bloom until 
the second year. If you want to get into glads at a low cost, by all means buy 
bulblets. 
CANADIAN ORDERS 
Canadian customers must secure a permit to import bulbs from the Destruc¬ 
tive Insect and Pest Act Advisory Board at Ottawa. We specialize in Canadian 
orders and carry Customs Declaration blanks at all times. 
THRIP 
Several years ago this pest caused untold damage. Thrip are easily controlled 
if proper precautions are taken. There is no reason why anyone should be both¬ 
ered with this pest. First, buy clean bulbs that have been properly fumigated. 
If you are not sure they have been treated by the grower from whom you pur¬ 
chased, treat them with napthalene flakes at the rate of I oz. to each 100 large or 
250 medium size. Cover container, preferably a shallow box or tray, with news¬ 
paper. Perforate paper with small holes to allow excessive gas to escape. After 
three weeks sift out the flakes. The above treatment will kill both thrip and eggs. 
We do not recommend this treatment when the roots begin to show, as it will 
burn them and retard or stunt growth. Corrosive Sublimate (Bichloride of Mer¬ 
cury) is perhaps the best known dip. Corrosive Sublimate should be used at the 
rate of one oz. to 7% gal. of water and the bulbs should be submerged from 8 to 
10 hours. Corrosive Sublimate soluble in hot water. Dissolve thoroughly in a 
(glass) jar of hot water before putting into main container. Do not use a metalic 
container. Use wooden barrel or crock. Sack and label your bulbs, submerge as 
above stated. Corrosive Sublimate is a deadly poison, so great care should be 
taken with it.
