' It is truly a privilege to again send our list to the finest lot of customers and 
friends that ever grew Glads and while you could get along nicely without us, we 
wouldn’t fare so well in the absence of your appreciated letters. They really do make 
life worth living and it perhaps thrills us even more to read these fine letters than to 
see the “Masterpieces of Gladdom” unfold their irresistable beauty in our garden. We 
prize your friendship and that of the many customers who are constantly coming to 
us, and our sincere thanks and appreciation, as it is you who have increased our busi- 
ness beyond all expectations in the four short years we have been seliing bulbs. 
Yes; it takes plenty of money to buy printers ink, 
And display a lot of pictures including pink, 
So again will not be content to take the risk 
In preparing anything better than a modest list 
Useless expenditures we perhaps all know 
Can only make more costly bulbs for the show. 
So we prefer to come out with a man to man guarantee 
To pass the saving to you with more extra bulbs free. 
We have dug the bulbs and have them in trays 
Hoping to assist our friends with wonderful displays 
Oftering perhaps the magic carpet of glads for you 
That will teem with surprises the whole season thru. 
“THE MOON AGAIN” 
Still using that great little “Moon Sign Book” of 256 pages published by Llewellyn 
Publications, Ltd., as our planting guide and giving the bulbs that extra liit necessary 
to perfection. Common aimanacs ... Why they are worthless for planting purposes: 
As an illustration—When the drug store almanac reads “Moon is in Cancer’ (the most 
fruitful sign in the zodiac) it may be in Leo, a hot, dry, barren sign, not considered 
good for planting, as the almanacs use the constellations, while astrology correctly 
uses the planets’ places in the zodiac. Better refrain from the “Big Laugh” until such 
time as a few experiments are conducted and then perhaps the laugh will be on the 
other fellow who has failed to profit by the use of these signs. Not coming from the 
good state of Missouri, we incidentally had to be “shown” anyway, and while we could 
write out the results of many experiments, space will not permit. But we will contest 
the erroneous belief that the planets have no purpose in this great universe. This val- 
uable book may be procured from us for $1.05 postpaid, and supplied with all bulb 
orders aggregating $5.00 for .75¢ each, and on orders of $10.00 or over, .50c each. A 
new book is annually compiled giving the new dates for that year.

Not the best variety in existence, but perhaps the best in its color class. If you 
are partial to Dream O’ Beauty for reason of the color, this will be your favorite. The 
perfect placement on a much taller spike, straight as an arrow, together with the added 
silvery sheen will give hybridizers something to shoot at for some time to come. To 
the best of our knowledge the scarcety of stock permitted this to reach only two shows 
the past season, winning Grand Champion for Mr. B. E. Shue of Champaign, IIl., at 
the Marion county show, Indianapolis, and first for Mr. A. J. Amsler at the lowa state 
show, who won three blues with it at Sioux City the previous year. Mr. Amsler and 
Mr. W. L. Laughlin of Jewett, Ohio, (who does not exhibit) both report: “Better than 
ever this year and ‘Hats off to Teton.” Scarcity of stock will not permit a reduction 
in price this season. However, you may include this with the retail items in our 
General Prepaid list that are subject to discount. Priced $3.00 each for any size bulb 
and no bulblets for sale.

The Zimmer seedling that was by far our best lavender the past season and we 
grow most of the new ones. This reaction is responsible for the purchase of one-half 
the stock from Mr. Fred Vornheder of Battle Creek, Mich., and fortunately the stock 
will permit of introduction at a much cheaper price than is usually asked for anything 
approaching this in desirability. It was entered in the undisseminated seedling class 
at the Ohio State show the past season, where it placed first and as we understand was 
in the running for the American Home Achievement medal, losing only by a smail 
margin. We have reliable information that in a display at the Jackson County, Mich., 
show, a vase was placed on each side of a fine vase of Minuet and with the result that
