IF YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN GROWING FLOWERS WILL YOU KINDLY 
TO A FRIEND WHO IS A FLOWER GROWER. THANK YOU. 
GLADHAVEN GARDENS 
George G. Fowler, Prop. 
North Main Street 1940 Franklin, N. H. 
Again I greet you my friends with my small but comprehensive Price List of Bulbs. I want to thank you for 
your generous purchases in the past 18 years I have been growing and selling Bulbs. I do not issue an expensive 
colored catalog, so can pass along the saving to you in extra bulbs. There are some price changes in this list, 
mostly downward, and only higher where the former price did not cover cost of production. 
Some of the new expensive varieties are wonderful glads, I have a very limited stock of them. Early orders 
will be filled completely, I cannot guarantee to fill orders received after June 1st, except the Gladhaven Assortment. 
EARLY ORDERS PAY. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
SIZE OF BULBS 
Large size bulbs are 1% inches or over in diameter. 
Medium Size bulbs are from % of an inch up to 1*4 inch in diameter. 
Either size should make a satisfactory bloom. The larger size generally blooms earlier with a little larger spike. 
WHY GROW GLADIOLUS? 
Do you like beautiful flowers? Probably some of your “shut in” friends do too. Perhaps you have a sick friend. 
What is nicer for a cut flower than the long keeping Gladiolus Bloom. In the sick room, for table or general house 
decoration, there is a color and shade for every occasion, that is unequaled by any other flower. 
THRIPS 
Do not let these tiny insect pests deprive you of the pleasure of growing glads. I have never had to spray for 
them in my garden. I do not let them get started. My Cultural Directions tell you how to keep them out of your 
garden. You will not get thrips from the bulbs you buy from me. Don’t throw away your bulbs because you had 
Thrips last year. 
Fall Cultural Instructions with every order. 
GUARANTEE 
I only ship high quality bulbs and will replace any that are not true to name or refund the purchase price. 
I cannot guarantee the crop. BULBLETS cannot be depended upon, either for germination or bloom, many fail 
to grow under the best of conditions. For best results plant Bulblets EARLY in the Spring, June is too late, April 
30 is better. 
TERMS 
My terms are cash with order. Every order will be prepaid by me to any point in the U. 8. If your order does 
not amount to at least $1, enclose 10c extra for postage. Small orders under $1 are shipped at a loss to me. 
5 Bulbs of one kind sold at the 10 rate and 25 bulbs of one kind at the 100 rate. 25% cash with your order will hold 
the bulbs till April 1st, when you can remit the balance or I can ship C. O. D. It is unprofitable to have small 
orders shipped C. O. D. ORDER EARLY and state when you want the bulbs shipped and they will be sent you on 
that date. 
I will cheerfully make good any mistake that may be made in putting up your order, though I do not intend 
there will be. All orders acknowledged when received stating when bulbs will be sent. 
SPECIAL GLADHAVEN ASSORTMENT OF OVER 50 VARIETIES 
As usual I am offering an extra choice assortment of Gladiolus Bulbs comprising many kinds in one grand collec¬ 
tion. For more than 18 years my customers have been surprised and pleased with the splendid glads grown from my 
special Gladhaven Assortment. Every year I add many new and different varieties. Some bloom in 65 days, some 
in 75, some in 90 and a very few will take 110 days after planting to reach the blooming period, consequently this 
assortment should be planted early in May. When planted early in May this assortment will give you flowers from 
the middle of July to frost. All colors are represented in this great collection. There is no profit in selling this as¬ 
sortment, I charge it to advertising to build up new business. They must please you or I lose. Large bulbs, 30c per 
doz., 50 bulbs for $1, 100 bulbs for $1.80. Medium bulbs, 15c per doz., 50 bulbs for 60c, 100 bulbs for $1.00. Small 
bulbs, 100 for 50c. Many of these small bulbs will bloom this year if planted before June 1. 
Join The New England Gladiolus Society. Send $1 to Albin K. Parker, Sec’y., Box 2, Norwood, Mass. Their 
YEAR BOOK is worth more than the $1. 
When you dig your bulbs in the fall be sure to have them well dried out before placing in winter storage, and 
don’t neglect cleaning off the old bulb and roots on the base of the bulb soon after going into storage. Do not 
remove the husks before planting time in the spring. After cleaning, storage powder may be scattered over them 
at the rate of an ounce to 100 large bulbs. Don’t let your bulbs freeze at any time. 
By reading this Price List carefully, a lot of unnecessary correspondence may be saved. I do not care to ex¬ 
change named bulbs for unnamed or mixed lots from unknown sources.
