2 GLADLAND GARDENS 
GREETINGS FROM GLADLAND GARDENS 
Once again it is our privilege to present our annual price list, and once again it 
is our very pleasant duty to thank all our customers for their generous orders of last 
season. Particularly do we thank the many who have been so kind as to write, 
telling us of their success with our bulbs. 

This year we greet you from our new home in Plainville, Massachusetts, only 
eight miles from our former location in Mansfield. We have been fortunate in 
securing a fine modern storage building, including an office and salesroom, and with 
excellent facilities for handling cut flowers in the Summer. Please feel free to visit 
us at any time. We will be glad to see you. 
Quite a number of the newer varieties, which have proven very outstanding 
in the trial garden, have been added to the list this year. These are all dependable 
varieties, and we offer them, together with the rest of the list, with full confidence in 
their ability to produce splendid blooms under ordinary gardening conditions and with 
only ordinary care. 
As in previous years, we suggest that you place your order early. A small 
deposit will hold your order until you want it and you will be assured of the fullest 
selection of varieties and the very choicest selection of stock. Certain varieties 
invariably sell out first and late buyers are often disappointed. Then too, we are 
able to devote more time to the selection of bulbs for your order if it reaches us 
before the Spring rush. 
Should you have any question or problem concerning gladiolus, do not hesitate 
to write to us. Gladiolus growing has been our specialty since 1915, and we are 
glad to pass along any suggestions or information we have gathered in the course of © 
our business. {t is our aim to give you a personal service and your correspondence 
will be welcome at all times. All orders will likewise have our personal attention 
and we will do our utmost to assure your complete satisfaction.
