SPECIAL GLADHAVEN ASSORTMENT 
For those who do not care about names or who want glads for landscaping, I highly recommend this beautiful 
mixture representing about every known shade and color of the Gladiolus family. In 20 years I have never had @ 
complaint about this assortment and it has been improved every year, by adding new varieties. To the best of my 
knowledge and belief there are none of the old style prims in this assortment, but are all good named varieties,

some 90 and others over 100 days.

MY BIGGEST DAHLIA OFFER 
Mrs. Fowler has been growing dahlias for a number of years and I have been selling them for her. She only 
grows the new and choice kinds. It looks now as if labor would be very short next season, so Mrs. Fowler has 
decided to close out all her dahlia tubers at the low price of $1.25 per doz., unlabeled but all good tubers. Cannot 
ship before the middle of April. If you want some have them reserved. Prepaid if order amounts to at least $1. 
TULIP BULBS 
I expect to have a good assortment of tulip bulbs for sale next September. Also other spring blooming bulbs. 
If interested write for prices about August 10, 1942. ; 
If you are not quite ready to order now, please keep this list for future reference.

I have quite a lot of bulblets of many named varieties that I am offering this year in mixed lots, 300 for 25c. I

price. Cultural directions.

SAF-T STORAGE POWDER FOR GLADIOLUS BULBS 
As far as I know I am the only Gladiolus grower making and selling a storage powder for glads. This 
powder is put on the bulbs in winter storage after having the old bulb removed and cleaned for winter, not husked 
of the protecting covering. This powder helps to eradicate thrips in storage and also helps check fungus diseases 
of glads. Not harmful to bulbs or human beings. 
Price per pound 20c, 3 pounds for 50c. Postage extra. However I will prepay to third zone if there are $2 worth 
of bulbs to go with it. Guaranteed to give satisfaction. 
JOIN THE NEW ENGLAND GLADIOLUS SOCIETY 
This society issues a Year Book every year that is worth more to a Gladiolus fan than the cost of joining, also 
stages a grand Show every August. Send your name and address to Albin K. Parker, Box 2, Norwood, Mass., and 
enclose $1 or enclose $2 and get the special Supplements through the year. Add an extra dollar to your order for 
bulbs and I will have your name enrolled. If you belong to this society now, mention it when ordering, you will 
receive some extra bulbs. I have been a member for quite a number of years. 
VERY IMPORTANT 
On every letter you mail, place your name and address somewhere on the outside of the envelope, for your own 
protection and to save the Post Office Department a lot of worry, sometimes. Write plainly. 
EEZY WEAR GARDEN GLOVES 
I use and highly recommend Eezy Wear Garden Gloves. They are made from very thin leather that is very 
durable and soft. Protects the hands from thorns and dirt. You will be surprised how well you can weed and 
handle bulbs without any inconvenience. Should be used when planting gladiolus bulbs that have been soaked in 
corrosive sublimate or other strong solution. They give bare-hand freedom. 
Sizes for Women, small, medium and large. For Men, medium and large. Price is only 75c postpaid, or two pairs 
for $1.40. A GOOD INVESTMENT. 
When you dig your bulbs in the fall be sure to have them well dried out before placing in winter storage, and 
don’t neglect cleaning off the old bulb and roots on the base of the bulb soon after going into storage. Do not 
remove the husks before planting time in the spring. After cleaning, storage powder may be scattered over them 
at the rate of an ounce to 100 large bulbs. Don’t let your bulbs freeze at any time. 
By reading this Price List carefully, a lot of unnecessary correspondence may be saved. I do not care to ex- 
change named bulbs for unnamed or mixed lots from unknown sources. 
SUBSTITUTION 
I do not substitute one variety for another unless you request it. Sometimes if I am out of the size ordered I All 
the order with bulbs of the next nearest size, giving as much or greater value. EARLY ORDERS WILL AVOID 
SUBSTITUTION!
