Three Size Glad Bulbs 
The LARGS BULBS measure (in diameter) 
from 1^4 inches up, mixed sizes. (Part No. 1 
and part No. 2 sizes.) This size is designated 
by the letter “L”. 
MBDIUM BULBS measure % inch to an 
inch or larger, mixed sizes. (Part No. 3 and 
part No. 4 sizes.) These Medium Bulbs bloom 
splendidly, though the large bulbs make still 
larger spikes ana more of them. Medium bulbs 
are designated by the letter “M”. 
NOTE: If sold out No. 1 size, we may send 
all No. 2 for Large, but more of them. If out 
No. 3, will send all No. 4 but more of them. 
Usually have enough so can send as noted 
above, however. 
SMALL BULBS are designated by the letter 
“S”. They will average nearly half-inch in 
diameter. Not sold as blooming sizes, yet 
many will bloom. 
NOTE: It will help us in filling your Glad 
bulb orders if you will mention the size each 
time: Large, Medium, Small, or Just the letters 
L, M or S. 
What Size Shall I Buy? 
A Large bulb usually produces two spikes 
of blossoms, sometimes three. A Medium bulb 
will produce a splendid spike, maybe two. A 
Small bulb is not certain to bloom, but many 
small bulbs will bloom, producing small 
spikes. 
Medium and Small bulbs are especially val¬ 
uable for producing new, vigorous bulbs and 
many bulblets. Large and Medium bulbs best 
for blooms.

sale as noted.)

Second Choice, Please 
Sooner or later, some kinds and sizes of Glad 
bulbs will be sold out. Saves a lot of time and 
correspondence if you will kindly— 
1. Name a few varieties that we may send 
in case sold out of any item on your order; 
2. Say if we may send another size. 
3. Say if we may send something good, our 
selection, from kinds we have to spare. 
How to Send Money 
For small amounts, stamps, coin or cur¬ 
rency usually safe if sent in our strong 
return envelopes. Money Orders or checks 
safer, account if lost or stolen neither you 
nor we can lose.

If You Pay Transportation 
As noted elsewhere in the following pages, 
I prepay all but wholesale lots. 
BUT, many customers have been much 
pleased with my special proposition in the 
past. 
If the customer pays express on Glads priced 
prepaid, I will send extra Glads to more than 
offset the express charges. I’ll send extra 
bulbs of kinds on your order, or some good 
kinds, my selection, or maybe both. 
If order part from wholesale list and part 
from prepaid lists, you will find it much to 
your advantage to do as many others have 
done. Just say, “Send all at my expense and 
add more Glads to COVER SENDING COSTS 
ON PREPAID ITEMS.” IK* 
On good size orders express usually cheaper, 
as bulbs take a special second class rate by 
express. 
But If you specify parcel post shipment and 
you pay carrying charges, then we ship C. O. 
D. for postage. Please do not send any money 
in such cases for postage or try to estimate 
it. Nor say you will remit for postage later. 
We keep no postage accounts. Either express, 
you pay express on arrival, or parcel post, the 
postage C. O. D. 
Any Glads priced prepaid may be ordered 
f. o. b. Boulder, at the prepaid prices, but I 
then send you more than enough extra stock 
to offset the carrying charges. (Order should 
be $3.00 or more to take advantage of this 
offer.) 
Send list for price on the lot, if you care to, 
but only for good sized lots, not a list amount¬ 
ing to only a few dollars. I’ll make you price 
f. o. b. Boulder on the list. Please state defi¬ 
nitely the kinds, sizes and quantities of each 
wanted. 
We ship bulbs all winter. Prefer to ship 
soon as order is received, because have so 
many other shipments in spring. But, of 
course, will hold until spring if you say so. 
Safe delivery guaranteed. You take no risk, 
no matter when we ship. 
“Glad Gossip,” 10 Cents 
“Glad Gossip” is a 24-page booklet I wrote 
to help both amateurs and professional grow¬ 
ers get the most pleasure and profit from their 
Glads. Doesn’t tell all there is to know about 
Glads, but tips you off about many points of 
vital interest. 
Among other things, about eight pages are 
given to thrips. Many who followed my sug¬ 
gestions last season solved their thrips prob¬ 
lems, and have renewed their enthusiasm for 
growing Glads as a hobby or for market. 
The price is 10 cents. If not worth 10 cents 
then it isn’t worth sending for. It’s been worth 
dollars to many Glad growers. You’ll be sur¬ 
prised. 
Free with Glad orders amounting to $1.00 
or over, if asked for when order is sent. 
Otherwise, 10c please. 
/on os. Long Count 
Your GLAD orders will be filled liberally. 
I could promise you more for your money but 
I like to surprise you by doing better than I 
offer. The larger the order, the more liberal 
the overcount.
