GLADHAVEN GARDE 
George G. Fowler, Prop. : 
North Main Street Franklin, N. H.. 


GREETINGS for the New Year and a thank you for your patronage the past few years. I hope you will be able 
to enjoy your flowers this summer regardless of war conditions and gas shortages. Buy War Bonds first then if you 
have a little money left buy a few gladiolus bulbs to brighten your home or the home of a shut-in next summer and 
fall. a 
In spite of higher cost of fertilizers and labor I am able to offer you bulbs at about the same prices as before. 
A low cost price list cuts costs quite a lot without lowering quality of bulbs. Many varieties are in limited supply, 
order early and you will not be disappointed.

READ CAREFULLY 
The first column of figures lists the smallest or minimum lot of a kind put up. A single figure means the price 
for one bulb. The price would be thus for two or more bulbs, 2—10 meaning two bulbs for 10c; or 3—10, three 
bulbs for 10c. No single item for less than 10c. 5 bulbs for half the 10 rate. 
SIZE OF BULBS 
Large bulbs are 1% inches and over in diameter, medium size are % to 1%, averaging 1 inch in diameter. Small 
bulbs are % of an inch and under, most of which will make a small flowering spike and grow a good bulb for the 
next year. Medium bulbs usually give a very satisfactory spike. 
FULL CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS WITH EVERY ORDER 
ORDER EARLY, use order sheet and state when you will want bulbs. It is safe to ship Express orders at any 
time. Mail orders are safer shipped after March Ist. A 25% deposit will reserve your order until May ist. No 
orders reserved or shipped without a deposit. 
Have your name and address on the outside of every letter you write. It may save a lot of bother later. WRITE 
PLAINLY, and be sure to give your correct address. I am a poor guesser. 
I do not substitute one variety for another unless requested. If I am out of the size ordered I fill the order 
with bulbs of the next nearest size, giving as much or greater value. EARLY ORDER WILL AVOID SUBSTITU- 
TION. YES, I generally give EXTRAS. 
GLADHAVEN GOLDEN HULL-LESS POP CORN 
I am offering for the first time seed of my improved hull-less pop corn. I have been improving this high grade 
corn by selection and crossing for a number of years until I believe I have the finest quality pop corn grown. A 
slight cross from golden bantam sweet corn has improved the flavor. This corn is very early for pop corn, 130 days 
from planting to popping. The seed I sell is from choice selected ears grown in 1942. Those who have been growing 
tough corn with a field corn flavor and a large number of “old maids” in the bottom of the popper find it hard to 
believe pop corn can be so sweet and tender. Many people dry out pop corn too much; once properly dried, store in 
a cool dry closet. Kept in a warm room it will soon refuse to pop. Generous size package of seed for only 20c. Plant 
at same time you plant sweet corn in your locality. Hen manure and superphosphate well mixed about a pint to a 
hill, but away from contact with the seed, is about the best fertilizer for pop corn. TRY IT. Don’t let over five 
stalks grow to the hill and have the hills at least 2% to 3 feet apart.
