GREETINGS 
We extend to each of you our best wishes for the approaching season, 
1940, and express our sincere appreciation for the contribution you gave to 
make 1939 a successful season. It is our hope that the many thousands of 
blooms purchased from us the past season brought cheer and good tidings to 
the many homes and hospitals, or where ever they went. 
Foreword 
Your satisfaction is our pleasure. Our business is built on satisfied cus¬ 
tomers and your repeat orders for bulbs and flowers are our success. The 
season of 1939 was a wonderful growing season. Glad blooms were almost the 
height of perfection. Only an early frost to mar the most usccessful season in 
years. Our stock for 1940 is the best we have ever offered. State Inspected. 
Insect and disease free. It is our sole aim to offer only the best quality stock 
and we feel that this quality stock will satisfy the most exacting of customers. 
We, therefore, offer this, our 1940 list of the “BEST, SELECTED” varieties, 
the result of 15 years growing Glads. This experience has taught us many 
lessons, which you can use to your advantage. 
If you desire the best in “CUT FLOWER” varieties, we invite you to look 
over carefully the many money saving collections. 
Early orders are very important. You get the “cream of the crop.” You are 
sure of getting the varieties you desire, it gives us plenty of time to fill your 
order carefully before the last minute rush, and it relieves us of storage space.

jest to prior sale. 
5 bulbs at the 10 rate, 25 at the 100 rate. Liberal extra bulbs are also 
included.

count on orders amounting to $5.00 or more.
