INTRODUCTORY 
In presenting this, our 1940 catalog and price list to 
our many friends and customers, we do so in the 
sincere belief, that we are offering healthy, high grade 
bulbs of finest quality. 
We lay no claim to vast acreage or countless 
thousands of bulbs. We do claim to be careful select 
growers of top-notch quality stock. Our bulbs are free 
from disease and gladiolus thrip. THEY ARE STATE 
INSPECTED, IN FIELD AND STORAGE. 
Large bulbs are 1 % or more inches in diameter, 
designated by the letter L. NIedium bulbs are % to 
11/4 inches in diameter designated by the letter M. 
Medium bulbs will bloom this season, the large bulbs 
will produce larger, taller blooms. 
For convenience of those who prefer to buy some 
varieties in quantity we have divided this catalog in 
two lists. Our Prepaid List and Wholesale List. In the 
Prepaid List we pay the transportation charges, in the 
Wholesale List the customer pays the transportation 
charges. 
We prefer to ship all wholesale orders by Express. 
If your express office is different than your postoffice, 
please give both. If you desire your wholesale order 
shipped by Parcel Post, please include Parcel Post 
charges. 
Please do not ask us to fill any item for less than 10c 
or any order for less than $1.00. 
Six or more bulbs may be had at the dozen rate. 
Our terms are cash with order or one-fourth cash, 
balance C. O. D. We carry no charge accounts. 
Early orders are appreciated. We start planting just 
as soon as the soil is in condition; usually in April. 
Some varieties are not available after May 1st. Every 
customer who orders prior to April 1st will receive a 
surprise package. 
In common with other growers we do not guarantee 
the crop. All stock offered subject to prior sale.
