Licensed Nursery 
We wish to thank all our friends and customers for the steadily increasing business you have given 
us each year and hope we can continue to merit your patronage. 
This list contains PREPAID prices and short reliable descriptions of varieties which have proven 
satisfactory in our own gardens. We try out most of the new Glads but only list those which show merit. 
Many of the varieties, both old and new, found in the ordinary Seed House or Bulb Catalog have been 
grown by us and discar ded. These may be fine under ideal growing conditions—good soil, cool summer 
days and‘irrigation—but are not worthwhile in our climate. 
We believe oR will find our prices as low or lower than quoted elsewhere for good Northern Grown 
bulbs. 
We were oe out Satly last season on all salable sizes and had to return several orders. Although 
we have, considerable more stock this year we expect to again be short before the planting season is 
over. So early orders are advisable. You get the pick of the stock and are sure of Beane what you 
order. 
_- We grow many Glads not listed here. If you do not find in this list what you want, we may have it 
in small quantity or can obtain it for you at a reasonable price. 
If you wish to grow Glads for cut flower sale, we will be glad to suggest varieties and sizes on 


which you can make the most profit. State approximate amount you care to invest in-planting stock-—.—..~ 
and describe location—on Highway, Farm, Village or City. There is always sale for good Glad blooms.

No. 6 bulbs, you should only pay what they are worth. We can quote prices on No. 6 of many varieties 
if you wish them. ‘The largest bulbs of the grade ordered, which we have on hand, are shipped. Large 
bulbs are generally planted for exhibition spike growing. Medium are usually bought by the commercial 
cut-flower giowers, and: with most of the varieties will give very nearly, if not as good a spike as the 
large size; and at a very considerable saving. Small bulbs (No. 5) of most kinds give fair bloom and 
make fine bulbs for next year and yield the most bulblets; but bloom later than medium and large. Days-
