GREETINGS 
We wish to thank our many friends and customers for the generous orders of the past season, and the 
letters of appreciation of our stock. We try to furnish first class stock and if care and good cultural methods 
are used, really wonderful results can be had. 
There is nothing with quite the appeal of the modern gladiolus. The infinite variety and really ex¬ 
quisite beauty available in "glads" now days makes them by far the most popular and desirable summer 
flower. There is really nothing so satisfactory for the money for most any floral use. With the marked im¬ 
provement of varieties introduced in the last ten years the gladiolus are rapidly gaining in popularity. The 
reason for this is apparent, their great variety of color, long keeping qualities as a cut flower, and the wonder¬ 
ful effects produced by floral artists in making them into design work for all occasions, place the gladiolus 
in the front rank wherever flowers are used. 
This year we have the largest and finest stock we have ever had. Have plenty of the commercial var¬ 
ieties and larger stocks and lower prices on some of the newer and better kinds. 
We exhibited at four shows the past season, winning sixty-eight ribbons, twenty-nine blue, two trophies 
and cash awards. Twelve of these entries were displays ranging in size from twenty spikes to two hundred 
square feet. 
This season we are listing twenty-one new varieties, each one is a "super" gladiolus. We consider 
that the color, habit, and form of each is most outstanding. It is a noteable fact that six of these new var¬ 
ieties are white. Some are snow white, others with small red throat blotch, then imagine a spike with 
ten large well placed blooms ivory-white, heavily ruffed. 
Control of thrip is now very definitely a matter of record. In fact one brief sentence tells the story 
start the season with clean bulbs, then either dust or spray plants regularly. 
The bulbs we send out are the finest that can be obtained, and are free from pests or injurious diseases. 
Our gladiolus are given special precautionary treatment and are carefully inspected. 
We do not substitute unless directed to do so. If late in the season we suggest that you indicate a 
second choice, or that you permit us to substitute with equal or greater value. 
All bulbs sent out will be of good clean healthy stock that has been fumigated for protection against 
thrip. Large and medium bulbs are of blooming size,large are 1 V 4 inch in diameter or over; medium are 1 
inch to 1 1/4 inches; small bulbs are'/z to 3 A inch. The large bulbs always produce the finest exhibition spikes 
and very often grow several spikes to the bulb. Medium sized bulbs give excellent blooms when planted 
early. Small bulbs will give a fair bloom but produce large bulbs for the following season. Bulblets seldom 
bloom but grow into bulbs mostly of small size. 
Terms. All retail orders amounting to $1.00 or over will be delivered free to any point in the United 
States or Canada, on orders less than $1.00 add 15 cents for postage and packing. One or more bulbs or 
bulbets may be had at the 10 rate but no single item for less than 10 cents. On orders of $5.00 and up we 
will accept 25 percent with the order, balance before shipment. I shall include liberal overcount and valu¬ 
able extras with all orders. . *
