OUR GLADS ARE FREE FROM THRIP! 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting stock for years our Gladioli have always been 
free from thrip. As an added precaution and to be sure that bulbs supplied by us are absolutely 
free from this pest, we will also scientifically treat our bulbs again before shipment is made to 
our customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip lives in the soil, as well as on the bulbs in storage, through the winter, it is 
imperative that our bulbs be planted on soil where Gladioli were not grown last year and not close 
to other Gladioli from other sources. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well matured, which is absolutely essential 
for producing exhibition flowers.

Dear Sirs:— 
You have, no doubt, read accounts of the 
Gladiolus Exhibit staged at the World’s Fair 
’’Gardens on Parade,” this summer by me for Mr. 
J. F. Morgan. You will be glad to learn that all of 
these flowers were grown from the bulbs you 
shipped in the spring. 
All were free from thrip; and outstand¬ 
ing among the varieties, as judged by the comment 
and inquiry of the patrons, were Smiling Maestro, 
Yellow Emperor, and Max Reger. 
I pass this information along to you 
because I am aware of your constant effort to in¬ 
troduce and recommend the best varieties. 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) JAMES S. KELLY, 
Supt. to J. P. Morgan, Esq.
