GREETINGS 
Dear Friends: This year of 1942 finds us ina very changed world but we all stand united, try- 
ing to help in every way we can to do our part. 
All who have even a small plot of ground will be growing a Victory Garden but in this Garden 
we also need flowers of some kind. Gladiolus are easy to grow in rows with your vegetables, and 
this way they are very little work. 
You may be interested in this small list which I am sending you, as you will find here all types 
and colors from the Large Exhibition to the Small Decorative which are so lovely as a cut flower. 
Many are old favorites and others are very new, but all are beautiful. 
Some of the Small Decorative I am listing for two of my grand daughters, who grew them in 
my garden last summer. They were also learning to cross polinate different varieties, so sometime 
may have new ones to show you. 
With best wishes to all of you. Sincerely, 
MRS. GEORGE KINYON. 
So Big
