BETTER BLOOMING BULBS 
HEBERLING’S GLADIOLUS 
CORN BELT GROWN 
INCORPORATED 
J. H. Heberling Easton, Illinois, U. S. A. J. S. Heberling 



MARCH 10, 1943 
Because of the much higher price of labor, bulbs are higher in price this season. 

Because of the great shortage of labor many acres of bulbs in the United States were not dug Tast fall 
especially in Michigan. Hence the shortage of labor has caused a shortage of gladiolus bulbs. 
Because we have lost five of our working force to Uncle Sam and three more to defense plants we are 
therefore asking that you send in your order early so that when time comes for field work we 
may use our remaining force for this work. Our force this season consists of men over fifty and 
boys under draft age. 
Our sales have been heavier than usual this season and hence stocks are lower. 
We therefore advise early orders. 
This will likely be our last Gladiolus list this season and our next list of about May Ist will contain Tulips and Lilies. 
Many thanks for your good orders. — J. H.
