‘T ne Grapiouus is pre-eminently a cut-flower; its 
long-keeping qualities combined with its beauty and 
variety of form and color, adapt it to use in almost 
any situation where flowers can be used. 
The large flowering types for the large vase or jardi- 
niere, with the dainty small flowered Primulinus for 
the place that needs just a little color. 
The bulbs are graded in six sizes, No. 1 being the 
largest size and No. 6 the smallest size. 
The large bulbs listed here are No. 1 and No. 2, size 
144 1n. up to 2in. in diameter. Medium. are No. 3 
and No. 4, size, 34 in. to 114, in. in diameter. The 
large bulbs bloom the earliest and often make 2 flower 
spikes. The medium make 1 flower spike and bloom 
about two weeks later than the large size. 
We have a surplus stock of many varieties this season 
in No. 4-5-6 size. Those wishing planting stock and 
bulblets write for prices. We will be glad to quote 
prices in 100 or 1000 lots. Send us your want list, 
give size and amount wanted. Please mention your 
lot number when writing us. 
We exert the greatest care to have everything true-to- 
name, but cannot assume any responsibility as to 
results, other than to replace any bulbs untrue to 
name, or refund the price paid for same. 
Our bulbs are treated in storage and before planting 
and are free from Thrip and disease—every bulb is 
fully guaranteed. If for any reason you are not satis- 
fied after you receive the stock, return it and your 
money will be refunded. 
While it is desirable to plant Gladioli early in the 
season, circumstances sometime make this difficult. 
Should you wish to plant more bulbs later we hold 
many of our varieties dormant in storage, so that 
they can be safely shipped and planted all through the 
month of June. Our last planting here is July 10th. 
Most of these late holdings are large size bulbs. They 
should all bloom for you before frost comes. Bloom- 
ing time 60 to 90 days after planting. 
We pay the postage on all bulbs listed in this cata- 
logue, anywhere in the United States, if your order 
is for $1.00 or more.
