SERVICE—As we are one of the largest producers of gladiolus, we offer the best, 
with courtesy, being fully appreciative of your patronage. 
BEST FLOWERS—An exhibitor insists on a young bulb 1%” or more in 
diameter. Bulbs over two years old usually do not produce the maximum of 
flower, and frequently are a source of trouble from disease. 
BULB PERFORMANCE —For the maximum performance or exhibition spikes— 
Large (over 114”) are much to be preferred. Medium (34” to 114”) bulbs are of 
blooming size but the flower is not as large and requiring more time to bloom. 
Small (%” to 34”) bulbs will at times bloom late in the season and are noticeably 
smaller in size; Bulblets cannot be depended upon, either to bloom or for germina- 
tion, many fail to grow under the very best of conditions.
