NOW IS THE TIME - - - 
To get busy and order those GLADIOLUS BULBS for this summer’s garden. You surely don’t 
want to let a season go by without raising some of these modern garden Orchids. Wouldn’t you 
like to have a garden that would be the talk of the town? You can easily have one. These modern 
beauties are nothing like the old time glads. There are only a very few varieties sold now that 
were popular even 10 years ago. The hybridizers have produced some real wonders the past few 
years, exquisitely beautiful colors and ruffled and other new forms. If you haven’t gone out to 
the garden in the early morning to behold the exquisite blooms that have opened up during the 
night you don’t know what real honest to goodness heavenly pleasure you have missed. It is 
something that can’t be described in words. Have you ever experienced the thrill of seeing a 
Blue Ribbon put on your entry in a Gladiolus Show? This is easy to accomplish. You can easily 
grow better blooms than most of those you see at the Shows. Raising good Glads is very easy. 
Just get good young bulbs of the modern varieties and give good ordinary care as you would 
your vegetable garden and the results will surprise you and your friends.

RUSH YOUR ORDERS 
If you want to be sure of getting just what you want. Many people wait till some kinds are sold 
out and so are disappointed. Right now some varieties are getting low tho we can still supply 
most everything at retail except Recovery and medium and small Star of Bethlehem. We are 
sold out at wholesale of the following: Albatross, all sizes, Ave Maria, No. 2’s, and 3’s, Blue Ad¬ 
miral, all sizes, Cardinal Prince No. 1 and 2, Dr. Hoeg No. 2, Edith Robson No. 1, Gladys Clegg 
No. 1, Lady Winsome No. 3, Mibloom No. 1 and 2, Sensation No. 4, and Wurtembergia No. 1. 
Help Us Avoid the Spring Rush 
I know that thousands of you good people will send in orders in the spring and we are glad to get them. 
Tho at that time we always work long hours it is not humanly possible to get all the orders out just when 
my customers want them. I take pride in shipping out rush orders at once if possible but with orders pour¬ 
ing in as they usually do during late March and April it makes it very hard for us and we can’t always give 
the service we could if some of these orders came in earlier. So if you will send your orders now even if you 
can't spare all the cash till later we can get the orders out and have them ready to ship when you want them. 
You will get better service and get what you want when you want it. As an inducement for early orders 
1 am going to be super generous in extras sent in during March. Just give me a list from which 
I can select extras and 1 will give it my personal attention. 
GROWERS COLLECTION 
If you are growing any quantity of bulbs 
you will find these Collections very good and 
low priced. These varieties are all good stand¬ 
ard varieties. In my No. 47 Collection listed

SMITH AND AVE MARIA. In ordering these 
collections do not include any variety not listed 
in the Collection and let us know if we can 
substitute if necessary. In No. 49 I am out of

COMMERCIAL BULBS GROWERS 
You know there is not much money in growing 
bulbs of the old commercial varieties that everyone 
has. Why don’t you get started in some of the newer 
ones? This is your only salvation. There are always 
people who will grow the old kinds and sell them at 
less than cost of production. Here are a few varieties 
among others that are sure to be big sellers for com¬ 
mercial cut flowers. And there is money growing 
the bulbs now. The blooms are bringing more money 
than Picardy. These are all sure fire commercial 
prospects: 
Angelus, Beacon, Bit O’Heaven, Colossus, Aladdin, 
Algonquin, Carillon, Firefly, Margaret Beaton, 
Timbuctoo, Uncas, and also Vagabond Prince. 
Tho the last named is not a so called commercial 
color it is one of my best sellers. Am nearly sold 
out of No. 1 now. And there are a number of 
others that will surely make good. Read the catalog.
