ALEC HENDERSON, INC., CHICAGO 
GLADIOLUS 
For Greenhouse and Outdoor Planting 
The crop this year is of splendid quality, but second size are definitely in short supply. As 
usual, we have contracted for a good supply of well cured bulbs, up to size and true to name. 
Prices on all varieties are low enough so there is no gamble for anyone who wants to plant 
for their own retail sales.
