ROGUE RIVER VALLEY 
Gladiclus Bulls 
Gladiolus stocks this year are not as complete as in the recent. 
past. This is due to rather strong early demands as well as rather 
radical culling of varieties during the past season. We have taken 
the opportunity afforded by better sales to carry out to a greater 
degree the modernization of our stock; discontinuing many of the 
older varieties which are proving to be outdated in the light of newer 
varieties which are now becoming more plentiful 
While stock listed is quite complete at date of going to press 
quantity sales are reducing our stocks daily. As there definitely will 
be no surplus this year it is suggested that you cover your needs as 
soon after this list arrives as you can. SHOULD THE SIZE ORDER- 
ED BECOME EXHAUSTED—we will supply the next larger or 
smaller size to equal value if available. If size substitution is not 
acceptable, please so state at time of ordering. In the event that you 
can accept variety substitution in similar color, in case of shortage, 
it will facilitate complete shipment if you give some second choices, 
or allow us to use our experience in substituting a varietv equally 
as good or possably better. We must of necessity make all offers 
subject to ordered sorts being available and unsold when your order 
is received. 
Our Gladiolus are all carefully inspected, both in the field and 
warehouse, and will be found as free of all types of disease as any 
commercial stock obtainable. On this point they must have passed 
the rigid Oregon State inspection standards as well as our own. In 
the matter of Thrips, our bulbs and warehouses—including all handl- 
ing equipment—has been fumigated three times with calcium cyanide, 
under the supervision of an Oregon State horticultural inspector as a 
preventative measure. Bulbs leaving these warehouses are in as sterial 
a condition, as far as insect pests can be considered, as it is humanly 
possible to make them and if properly handled they will stay that 
way. It should be remembered, however, that if these sterial bulbs 
are exposed to infested conditions in location of planting, infestion 
can occure as can the development of several diseases that can become 
resident in YOUR soil. Our stock is clean when shipped and is should 
be handled so as to avoid infestion by disease or insects when plant- 
ing. Such handling will prove most profitable.
