(Announcement 
We have grown an increasing volume of gladio- 
lus each year and this past season harvested the 
largest and finest crop ever. 
We thank our customers and friends for their 
fine support with their orders and enthusiastic 
letters and reports on the good results obtained 
with our bulbs. We want our customers to feel 
they are dealing with friends and we want you to 
be satisfied with your transactions with us. If 
there ever should be any reason for complaint we 
want you to let us make things right. 
In order to void confusion, figuring discounts 
and all that, the varieties listed are priced at 
rock bottom prices, considering the quality bulbs 
we Offer. 
We have noticed some advertisements quoting 
low prices with the tricky statement that the 
bulbs offered are ‘‘nearly 3-inches in circum- 
ference.” If you figure this out you will find that 
an object three inches in circumference is less 
than 1 inch across, which in our list rates as 
“medium.” Our large bulbs are 1% to 2-inches 
across which means from 4% to 6%4-inches in 
circumference as measured around the bulb. 
Our bulbs are STATE INSPECTED and if given 
half a chance will give a good account of them- 
selves. 
Don’t overlook the medium-sized bulbs. We 
have thousands that will produce three to four- 
foot spikes this summer. 
&G, yaecial Premiums 
On every three dollars worth ordered before 
APRIL FIRST, besides the usual extras, we will 
include, besides RED SPIRE or FLAME NYMPH 
bulbs, a tuber of that Giant rose pink dahlia 
KATHLEEN NORRIS. This is a good variety 
that can produce 10-inch bloom on tall strong 
plant.
