GLADIOLUS 
For Greenhouse and Outdoor Planting 
What was thought to be a good crop has turned out to be on the short side 
in some varieties. We have a good supply of most all kinds contracted for 
and can assure our customers of good well cured bulbs, up to size and true 
to name. Prices are low enough so there is little or no gamble for anyone, 
who can use the flowers at retail.
