LICENSED NURSERY 
We wish to thank all our friends and customers for the steadily increasing business you have given 
us each year and hope we can continue to merit your patronage. 
t This list contains PREPAID prices and short reliable description of varieties which have proven 
satisfactory in our own gardens. We try out most of the new Glads but only list those which show merit. 
Many of the varieties, both old and new, found in the ordinary Seed House or Bulb Catalog have been 
grown by us and discarded. These may be fine under ideal growing conditions—good soil, cool summer 
days and irrigation—but are not worthwhile for the average garden in our climate. 



We believe you will find our prices as low or lower than quoted elsewhere for good Northern Grown 
bulbs. We were sold out early again last season on all salable sizes and had to return several orders. 
Although we have considerable more stock this year we expect to again be short before the planting 
season is over. So early orders are advisable. You get the pick of the stock and you are sure of 
getting what you order. 
ce We grow many Glads not listed here. If you do not find in this list what you want, we may have 
it in small quantity or can obtain it for you at a reasonable price. 
If you wish to grow Glads for cut flower sale, we will be glad to suggest varieties and sizes on which 
you can make the most profit. State approximate amount you care to invest in planting stock and 
describe location—on Highway, Farm, Village or City. There is always sale for good Glad blooms.

No. 6 bulbs, you should only pay what they are worth. We issue no printed price list for Nos. 5 and 6 
and bulblets, but will quote prices on what we have at your request. Give varieties and quantities want- 
ed. The largest bulbs of the grade ordered, which we have on hand, are shipped. Large bulbs are 
generally planted for exhibition spike growing. Medium are usually bought by the commercial cut- 
flower growers, and with most of the varieties will give very nearly, if not as good a spike as the large 
size; and at a very considerable saving. Small bulbs (No. 5) of most kinds give fair bloom and make 
fine bulbs for next year and yield the most bulblets; but bloom later than medium and large. Days-to- 
bloom given for most varieties are for large bulbs, are approximate and for comparison only. 70 days 
is a very early Glad, and over 105 days is late for this region.
