Prices as given in this catalog supersede all previous quotations. 
SERVICE —As we are one of the largest producers of gladiolus, we offer the best, 
with courtesy, being fully appreciative of your patronage. 
BEST FLOWERS —An exhibitor insists on a young bulb lyi" or more in 
diameter. Bulbs over two years old usually do not produce the maximum of 
flower, and frequently are a source of trouble from disease. 
BULB PERFORMANCE —For the maximum performance or exhibition spikes— 
Large (over lyi") are much to be preferred. Medium (^" to l^i") bulbs are of 
blooming size but the flower is not as large and requiring more time to bloom. 
Small (}i" to yi") bulbs will at times bloom late in the season and are noticeably 
smaller in size; Bulblets cannot be depended upon, either to bloom or for germina¬ 
tion, many fail to grow under the very best of conditions. 
‘‘Your Assurance of Beautiful Flowers” 
Our gladiolus bulbs are the best it is possible to produce. They are well grown, 
without pampering or irrigation, are scientifically harvested, cleaned and stored. 
They receive final inspection and preparation before delivery to you. They reflect 
this culture and care by giving you their beautiful bloom, the kind of bloom all 
flower lovers are looking for. Be sure to give them a trial—this season.
