Three Size Glad Bulbs 
The ZiARGE BTTIiBS measure (in diameter) 
from inches up, mixed sizes. (Part No. 1 
and part No. 2 sizes.) This size is designated 
by the letter “L”. 
MBDIUM BUIiBS measure % inch to an 
inch or larger, mixed sizes. (Part No. 3 and 
part No. 4 sizes.) These Medium Bulbs bloom 
splendidly, though the large bulbs make still 
larger spikes and more of them. Medium hulhs 
are designated by the letter “M”. 
ITOTB: If sold out No. 1 size, we may send 
all No. 2 for Large, but more of them. If out 
No. 3, will send all No. 4 but more of them. 
Usually have enough so can send as noted 
above, however. 
SMAZiIi BXTIiBS are designated by the letter 
“S”. They will average nearly half-inch in 
diameter. Not sold as blooming sizes, yet 
many will bloom. 
NOTB: It will help us in filling your Glad 
bulb orders if you will mention the size each 
time: Large, Medium, Small, or just the letters 
Zi, IMC or S. 
Prices, Terms, Delivery 
I prepay all Glad orders. (Except at whole¬ 
sale as noted.) 
Bach item on your Glad order must amount 
to not less than 10c. 
TBBMS: Cash with order, or ^ cash with 
order, balance C. O. D. Or send hi with order, 
and balance any time before shipment. 
DBIiIVB'BY: (Except wholesale lots.) I pay 
all postage or express charges, and guarantee 
safe delivery. (My choice, whether parcel post 
or express.) 
If your express office is different from your 
mail address, please be SURE to give express 
office address also when ordering. 
What Size Shall I Buy? 
A Barge bulb usually produces two spikes 
of blossoms, sometimes three. A Medium bulb 
will produce a splendid spike, maybe two. A 
Small bulb is not certain to bloom, but many 
smaller bulbs will bloom, producing small 
spikes. Barge and Medium best for blooms. 
More About Bulb Sizes 
Please read again above regarding sizes of 
bulbs—Large, Medium and Small. Note that 
Large does not mean No. 1 size but in. up 
—part No. 1, part No. 2. Medium does not 
mean No. 2 size nor all No. 3. 
Second Choice, Please 
Sooner or later, some kinds and sizes of Glad 
bulbs will be sold out. Saves a lot of time and 
correspondence if you will kindly— 
1. Name a few varieties that we may send 
in case sold out of any item on your order; 
2. Say if we may send another size. 
3. Say if we may send something good, our 
selection, from kinds we have to spare. 
HOW TO SEND MONEY

rency usually safe if sent in our strong

To make OUR prices somewhat lower. 
And help each eager garden grower.

Some frills and costs we’ve had to can— 
Send out a modest catalogue. 
And not, this year, put on the dog. 
If You Pay P. P. or Express 
All Glad bulbs in this catalogue are priced 
PREPAID, except wholesale lots. 
BUT, many customers have been much 
pleased with my special proposition. 
If the customer pays express on Glads priced 
prepaid, I will send extra Glads to more than 
offset the express charges. I’ll send extra 
bulbs of kinds on your order, or some good 
kinds, my selection, or maybe both. 
If order part from wholesale list and part 
from prepaid lists, you will find it much to 
your advantage to do as many others have 
done. Just say, “Send all at my expense and 
add more Glads to COVER SENDING COSTS 
ON PREPAID ITEMS. 
Send No Money for P. Post 
Express is often cheaper than parcel post, 
as bulbs take a special low ra4p by expressi 
But if you specify parcel post shipment and 
you pay carrying charges, then we ship C. O. 
D. for postage. Please do not send any money 
in such cases for postage or try to estimate 
it. Nor say you will remit for postage later. 
We keep no postage accounts. Either ex¬ 
press, you pay express on arrival, or parcel 
post, the postage C. O. D. 
Any Glads priced prepaid may be ordered 
f. o. b. Boulder, at the prepaid prices, but I 
then send you more than enough extra stock 
to offset the carrying charges. (Order should 
be $3.00 or more to take advantage of this 
offer.) 
Safe Delivery Guaranteed 
We ship bulbs all winter. Prefer to ship 
soon as order received, because have so many 
other shipments in spring. But, of course, 
will hold until spring if you say so. Safe 
delivery guaranteed. You take no risk, no 
matter when we ship. 
/Qno'Sj Long Count 
As all my old customers know, your GLAD 
orders will be filled most liberally. I could 
promise you more for your money, but I like 
to surprise you by doing better than I offer. 
The larger the order, the more liberal the 
overcount. 
Special Price on Large Lot 
Send list for price on the lot, if you care to, 
but only for good sized lots, not a list amount¬ 
ing to only a few dollars. I’ll make you price 
f, o. b. Boulder on the list. Please state defi¬ 
nitely the kinds, sizes and quantities of each 
wanted. 
“Glad Gossip,” 10 Cents 
“Glad Gossip” is a 24-page booklet I wrote 
to help both amateurs and professional grow¬ 
ers get the most pleasure and profit from their 
Glads. Doesn’t tell all there is to know about 
Glads, but tips you off about many points of 
vital interest. 
Among other things, about eight pages are 
given to thrips. Many who followed my sug¬ 
gestions last season solved their thrips prob¬ 
lems, and have renewed their enthusiasm for 
growing Glads as a hobby or for market. 
The price is 10 cents. If not worth 10 cents 
then it isn’t worth sending for. It’s been worth 
dollars to many Glad growers. You’ll be sur¬ 
prised. 
Free with Glad orders amounting to 60c 
or over, if asked for when order is sent. 
Otherwise, 10c please.
