GREETINGS 
With world conditions as they are today it is a hard proposition to concen- 
trate and get out a catalogue. In fact most bulbs will be sold without a catalogue 
as with the war over so much territory it leaves this country to supply most every 
country that grows Glads and buyers from these countries have picked up most all 
that can be bought. We have, however, reserved what we hope will be enough stocks 
to supply our customers but would advise that you do not hesitate in ordering as 
by spring bulbs will not be available. Prices are advancing very fast and can as- 
sure you that another year you will not be able to buy at this year’s prices. We 
wish to thank all of you who sent in orders last year and helped to make it the 
biggest year we have ever had but we have even a bigger supply of bulbs this year 
and can only hope for our share of your orders again. . 
Last year we enlarged our storage to better enable us to take care of our 
bulbs and this season we have added air conditioning to help that much more. 
We are listing but very few of the new Glads that came out last season as 
but a very few of them were outstanding but not to be condemned as it was not 
a good growing season. 
We try to grow only the better of the old and the best of the new, and if the 
variety that you are interested in is not listed, either write us or look around for a 
cause of it not being listed as there must be something wrong someplace. We have 
a test plot of several acres that we try to grow all the new ones that comes out and 
many more of them are discarded than are listed for one reason or another. 
If you will follow the key chart that we started several years ago you will be 
able to get as accurate a description of the Glads performance as we can give you, 
as we change the ratings each year as we check everything as it grows. 
We are giving a complete chart to each variety that we feel the traits are 
more or less permanently set in. However, some of the newer ones we have not 
grown long enough to be accurate on, and even a few of the older varieties change 
from season to season. 
Our bulbs are all planted by hand, dug by hand, cleaned by hand, and graded 
by hand to insure you getting just as nice a bulb as can be produced. No more 
bruising than is necessary. Every bulb is removed that does not look just right, 
etc., all by hand, so that you receive only A-1 bulbs. Ask any of our customers, 
they can tell you.
