This price list contains a retail prepaid list and a 
wholesale not prepaid list. If you are interested in large 
lots, or a large order, we will be glad to quote you special 
prices. Prices in this list are good only until regular 
catalogue is out about January 15th. 
Many people prefer to buy at least part of their bulbs 
in the fall and we believe it is a good practice to do so 
whether they are wanted for shipment as soon as cured 
or to be held until spring. Any orders that we receive 
in the fall for spring delivery are put up at the time re¬ 
ceived and stored in wire bottom trays until shipped so 
that the early orders do get the choice of the bulbs. Our 
cork insulated brick storage house and special curing room 
above have proven very successful. 
This year we planted on a piece of ground which had 
not been tilled for many years and the analysis of the land 
(5.7 pH) was higher than any which we had previously 
used. The new soil and the grand growing season have 
given us one of the finest crops of bulbs we have ever har¬ 
vested. Now. at harvest time, the plants are still green 
and are still growing to make bigger and better bulbs for 
you. 
Past experience shows that the average prices show 
little change from fall to spring but often some sizes of 
certain varieties are sold out before the first of the year 
and have to be omitted from the January catalogue. One 
great advantage of buying in the fall is that you are as¬ 
sured of just what you want in both size and variety. 
Another reason for buying from us in the fall is in the 
actual saving in cash. In order to spread out the work 
so that each order may have our personal attention, and 
to get in some cash before the rush season, we are offering 
you what we think are really generous discounts. In 
comparing prices, remember that until January 15th our 
prices to you are from 1/5 to almost 1/3 less than our list, 
depending upon the size of the orders. 
Should any other reputable grower advertise lower 
prices, we will be glad to meet those prices so long as stocks 
are available for we do not intend to be knowingly under¬ 
sold. 
If any customer is interested in Jumbo bulbs, and 
is willing to pay the transportation, we will be glad to send 
them as long as available. 
Descriptions of most of the varieties in this price list 
will be found in our last spring’s catalogue which is now 
out of print. A few of the varieties have just been released 
and therefore, no descriptions will be found in last spring’s 
catalogue but they will be in our list for spring 1941. Also 
many new American and foreign varieties will be offered 
in our spring catalogue. 
This season our one and only display was at the New 
England Gladiolus Society Show in Boston. In this ex¬ 
hibit we featured: Black Opal, Buffette, Capeheart, Ad¬ 
vance, Wampum, Takina, many unnamed seedlings, and 
oxir 1941 introduction—Bancroft Winsor—to be offered 
in our spring price list. 
TERMS: 
No order accepted for less than $1.00 which must be 
accompanied by cash in full, and no single item for less 
than ten cents. On orders of $5.00 and up we will accept 
25% (twenty-five per cent) with the order, balance before 
shipment. We will prepay all retail orders to any point 
in the United States or Canada. Where bulbs (not bnlb- 
lets) are priced each, ten bulbs will be sold at eight times 
the single price; five bulbs or more at the ten rate. When 
there is a figure before the price of a variety, as 2—.20, or 
5—.25, etc., it means two bulbs or bulblets for twenty cents 
or five bulbs or bulblets for twenty-five cents as the case 
may be. Large bnlbs will be l 1 /^" up, medium will be 
%" up and small will be %" up; as long as available the 
larger bulbs of each grade will be used. 
Please mark on the order whether you want bulbs 
shipped as soon as cured or held until spring. While we 
prefer not to ship until late in December, by which time 
all stocks are cleaned and alphabetically arranged in the 
store-house, we can ship as soon as cured if you have rea¬ 
son for wanting them earlier. We guarantee safe arrival 
at all times. If you are willing to pay for the transpor¬ 
tation on your order, we will see that bulbs, much in excess
