OUR GLADS ARE FREE FROM THRIP! 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting stock for years our Gladioli have always been 
free from thrip. As an added precaution and to be sure that bulbs supplied by us are absolutely 
free from this pest, we will also scientifically treat our bulbs again before shipment is made to 
our customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip lives in the soil, as well as on the bulbs in storage, through the winter, it is 
imperative that our bulbs be planted on soil where Gladioli were not grown last year and not close 
to other Gladioli from other sources. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well matured, which is absolutely essential 
for producing exhibition flowers. 



























































What a Gladiolus Expert, Who Has Judged at National 
Gladiolus Shows, Has to Say About “’Laddie”’ 
MEADOWVIEW 
Narragansett, KR. I: 
Andrew R. Kennedy, Inc. November 30, 1940 
22-24 West 27th Street 
New York, N. Y. 
Gentlemen :—— 
I grew "Laddie’ last year and find it 
to be an A-l variety in all respects. 
A row of "Picardy" was grown beside a 
row of "Laddie”™ which made "Picardy"' look like a 
Primulinus in comparison. 
"Laddie"’ is larger, wider open, opens 
more flowers at a time, is as tall and has 
straighter stems. The color is a light pink on 
the rose shade with less salmon than "Picardy." 
Very truly yours, 
(Signed) JAMES A. MACKIE, Superintendent
