THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 

PRICES 
We try to quote prices at once as low as 
those of other reputable gladiolus specialists, 
and yet take all known precautions to supply 
healthy and pest free bulbs. 
For the most part we price L, M and S 
bulbs at the commonly asked prices for No. 
2, 4 and 6 bulbs but we deliver, as long as our 
stocks last, mostly No. 1, 3 and 5, which gives 
you greater blooming value, particularly 
when buying the M and S sizes. 
Cash orders entitle the buyer to instant 
segregation and protection of their stock 
until proper time for delivery. 
Our practice of overcounting and/or in- 
clusion of samples equal or superior to sorts 
purchased, and of oversizing the smaller sizes 
when stocks permit, never fails to more than 
equalize any price fluctuations that may 
develop. A grower is known by the customers 
he keeps. 
‘Received my order of bulbs in fine shape. Had expected 
some extras but was astonished and also pleased with extras, 
overcounts and oversize equal to my original order.’’ 3-25-40. 
R. R. S., Hagerstown, Md. 
“Just received the bulbs in” good condition. Of course, 
I knew you would slip in some good extras, but not to the extent 
of more than double value of the order. I deeply appreciate 
your liberality and fine selections.” 3-25-40. P. L. S., 
Melrose, Mass. 
“The quality and size of the bulbs just received were even 
better than your guidebook had led me to expect and as for 
quantity, you sent me by actual count $2.60 in bulbs for every 
dollar I had sent you. It has been a pleasure to deal with 
you and I thank you sincerely.” 3-14-40. R. A. L., Win- 
ston-Salem, N. 
WHOLESALE PRICES 
Bulbs and bulblets priced only per each 
are mainly new and scarce sorts and not yet 
commonly priced lower than the dozen rate 
price at wholesale. On such items, where 
stocks permit, to legitimate commercial 
growers, we will add as much additional stock 
as circumstances warrant. Particularly lib- 
eral to catalogers. On stocks offered per 100, 
the newer sorts are as low as we can quote 
them, considering our quality bulbs and our 
like promise to be as liberal as circumstances 
warrant. The more common ones, offered per 
1000 by many growers, unless you demand 
our quality bulbs under above terms, these 
you will please order elsewhere. 
However, we are prepared to submit whole- 
sale quotations to parties legitimately entitled 
to such on about 30 items in our list, mostly 
the new and rare varieties. 
“This is the first time in my 15 years of commercial flower 
growing that I have ordered bulbs or seeds from a distributor 
and then sat down and thanked him for the stock sent. But 
this is the first time in 15 years that I have received four times 
theZoriginal Order.” 4-4-40. H. E. B., Elsmere, Del.
