Dear Customer-friend; 
We’re twenty years old, and are we proud? V/e are celebra¬ 
ting, end want you to celebrate with us. 
You see, we started growing gladiolus bulbs on a corner 
lot .lust twenty years ago, and now' raise them by the million. 
In fact we did a little figuring and found out that during 
this time we have raised at least 124,000,000 bulbs--one each 
for every person in the good old U. S. A., (whirh did not re¬ 
quire any pencil to figure that out.) 
’ Far different from the few varieties nf the ’’pancake” type 
bulbs we planted then are the 144 varieties we offer today oi 
the special high crowned type we have painstakingly developed 
during these years, and which grow sucn astcundingly vigorous 
spikes. Go we are celebrating, and wish to share it with you.
