All orders from the retail list will be prepaid to points in the United States. 
Prices as indicated in the quantity list are not prepaid, but are F. O. B. New 
Cumberland, Pennsylvania. If you wish to order part from the retail list and part 
from the quantity list, we will send the order transportation collect and include 
extras or overcount to make up for the transportation on the retail items. A discount 
of 5% will be allowed on cash orders of $2.00 to $5.00. On cash orders of over $5.00, 
a discount of 10% will be allowed. These discounts do not apply to mixtures nor to 
orders from the quantity price list. We also include worthwhile extras with retail 
orders. The value of the extras will be in proportion to the size of the order. 
Suggest varieties desired as extras. If we have sufficient stock, we will be glad to 
comply with your request. 
Where a variety is listed at 2 for 10 cents or 2 for 12 cents, please do not order 
a smaller number at a lower price. Five bulbs will be sold at one-half the price of 
ten, but no single item will be accepted for less than 10 cents. Where no 10 price is 
indicated, it may be found by multiplying the price of a single bulb by 8. Twenty-five 
bulbs of the same size and variety will be sold at 2 times the price of 10. One hundred 
of the same size and variety will be sold at 8 times the price of 10. 
Where bulblets are sold by the packet, 25 to 50 or more will be included in each 
packet. We will give good value. 
Do not ask for special quotations unless you have a large order. Our prices are 
very low for the high quality bulbs offered. However, we are glad to furnish special 
quotations to jobbers, growers, and others purchasing in large quantities. 
All bulbs listed as large size are 114 inches and up, mostly 14% inches and up, 
in diameter. Medium size bulbs are % to 1% inches in diameter. Small bulbs are 
14 to *% inches in diameter. For the finest blooms, large bulbs are best. Medium size 
bulbs of most varieties will give nice cut flowers, but the spikes are not as long as 
from large bulbs. Although small bulbs of many varieties will bloom, others will not. 
The blooms from small bulbs will be noticeably smaller in size. Bulblets seldom 
bloom and are often difficult or impossible to germinate. We do not recommend them 
except to experienced growers. 
1941 INTRODUCTIONS 
PINK RADIANCE (Quackenbush) (Picardy x Minuet) Pure light pink without 
marking except slight peppering of carmine deep in the throat. Six to eight wide 
open florets of good size on a tall spike which never crooks. The spike is graceful 
and the placement is good. The 22 inch flower head has 16 to 18 buds. It is a vigorous 
grower, producing plenty of bulblets which germinate well. Trials in different localities 
indicate that it will do well under varied growing conditions. It was grown last 
summer by three men in widely separated localities, Mr. W. W. Gillespie of Iowa, 
Mr. W. M. Anderson of New York and Professor Chester F. Kuhn of Michigan. Each 
of these fanciers is familiar with and has grown the best varieties available. There- 
fore, it is significant that each of these experts has rated Pink Radiance highly and as 
being a very promising variety. Professor Kuhn writes, “Indeed, you may say that 
I think it better than any variety of similar color now in commerce.” We believe it 
will be successful as an exhibition variety and as a commercial cut flower. $1.00 each 
for any size bulb. $8.00 per 10 bulbs. No bulblets for sale this year. 
MOTHER KADEL (Kadel) Picardy x Spray of Gold) This is a medium yellow 
decorative, slightly deeper in color than Mary Damaris. It is an entirely clear self 
color without any marking or the slightest bit of foreign color even in the deepest 
part of the throat. It opens from 5 to 7 florets with 5 additional buds showing color. 
It makes a tall spike which does not crook and carries about 17 buds. The placement 
is excellent. When cut it opens up well and is a good keeper. In our opinion, it is the 
most promising commercial cut flower yellow that we have seen. Last summer, 
shown as Seedling F24, it was given the following awards: American Home Achieve- 
ment Medal, Maryland Gladiolus Exposition. Winner of blue ribbon 3 spike yellow 
decorative class, best decorative spike in the show and an Award of Merit, Eastern 
New York Gladiolus Society show at World’s Fair. Best seedling spike in the show 
at Empire State Gladiolus Society show at Syracuse. Truly a great record and a great 
yellow. $1.00 each for large bulbs. No small bulbs or bulblets for sale.
