Greetings 
Greetings to you as a Friend and as a Customer. This is my oppor- 
tunity to thank you (each of you) for your good orders of last season 
and I here and now take pleasure in doing so. I hope the pleasure is 
not all mine. You make our business possible and we in turn try to 
see that your orders are filled in such a manner that you are glad to 
come again the next season. We try very hard to please new customers 
and doubly hard to please the old ones. Our business is built on repeat 
orders. We strive to give quality, service, ‘“‘value received”’ and satis- 
faction. Your satisfaction is our pleasure.

FOREWORD 
Another growing season is now past and we have just completed harvesting a grand 
crop of bulbs. 
While last season was not generally a favorable growing season because of hot 
dry weather we had more than our share of local showers assisted whenever needed 
by a large complete irrigation system which gives our crop this season a size and 
finish that is seldom seen in gladiolus bulbs. 
Should you need some especially large oversize number one bulbs for growing 
your next season’s show flowers, young and high crowned, we have them. Specify 
JUMBO ONES in your order as we can supply in many varieties. However, your 
only assurance of them is early orders. 
PRICES 
We are maintaining prices on standard varieties at about last season’s level. This 
in spite of a 20% increase in labor cost of production and a corresponding increase 
in most other overhead items of cost. Hence present low prices cannot be long main- 
tained nor should they unless cost can be reduced. Higher prices are inevitable and 
are justified now. Because of a heavier demand this season many desirable varieties 
will be sold out at a much earlier date, hence do not count too much on securing 
the varieties you want at lower prices later. 
MASTER MYRON 
Master Myron has again proven that it is the giant red of them all. Nothing lke it 
and nothing thus far to compare with it. Enough said. 
Please note our ‘‘Prepaid Prices’ for small quantities and rare varieties, and 
‘Wholesale Prices’? for quantities of the same quality at lower prices. 
MONEY SAVING COUPONS, on back cover of catalog, please do not overlook. 
Lastly we offer: Value Received—Quality—Service—Satisfaction.
