GLADIOLUS BULBS ...DIGGING TIME PRICES 
Me a 
We are listing at this time only Gladiolus bulbs because of the shortage of labor we cannot spare help at thisgime for oath gxing of Regale 
Lilies and the packing and shipping of Regale Lilies and Tulips. The harvesting of the gladiolus bulbs wilfrequir€ all of¢ ptinie,, nd we 
will do well to get them all out before freezing weather. % = oo Se ~ 
Since the war started we have lost eight of our experienced men to the service. Son Jack being thé last “to eggcausehe ism arried, 
and has a daughter, Gretchen. He is now in the navy. If we have failed to answer any of your letters tle sttngmer Orufjve have beer slow 
In answering it is because we have been very short of help and hence could not find time to do many gs that née ed’ ta b done and} 
that we would like to do. So please bear with us and we will do our best to meet your requirements. i x Zo, a 
BULB CROP. We have reduced our acreage this season because of the labor situation and. hence will havé Susock to Offer. The 4 
prospect is for a crop of good quality but smaller in bulk. We will start digging this month. es. a . @# 
SHIPMENTS. We cannot promise to ship before January because we cannot dig, clean and grade for shipping’ pig “e“that time J 
EXTRAS. You will all have liberal extras included in your shipment and if you want something special as to variety ‘please + gf 
and we will do our best to include this variety. ee J 
ORDERS. The planting of Gladiolus is much reduced by all growers this season. (Some growers have discontinued entirely.) We-are 
no exception, our planting is smaller and we will not get out a catalog this season. The demand will be heavier than the supply of bulbs. 
We therefore suggest. that you order early from this list. and not wait until we get out a later list, because I am quite sure we will be sold 
out of a number of varieties from this first list. 
SECOND CHOICE. We also suggest that you make a second choice in your first order because some stocks are small and a whole- 
sale order at any time may take all of the large bulbs of one variety. 
_ ., PRICES. Prices are necessarily higher because of the greatly increased cost of production. Our labor is costing us about double what 
it did two to three years ago. Hence we must ask higher prices for bulbs. 
We are listing very few small bulbs and bulblets this season because we did not plant as many bulblets as usual. 
OUR GUARANTEE. We guarantee all bulbs purchased from us to be true to name, up to size and free of disease and insect pests. 
So certified by Chief Plant Inspector of the State of Illinois. 
DISCOUNTS. On orders amounting to $10.00 or up to $15.00 you may deduct 10% discount for cash with order. Orders from $15.00 
up you may deduct 15% discount for cash with order. We will reserve your order if 25% is remitted with order, balance C.O.D. or cash 
before shipment. 
SHIPMENTS. All bulbs offered under this heading are shipped by us, carrying charges prepaid, by either Parcel Post or Express. 
We will use our judgment as to which is safer and cheaper. All larger orders by Express. If your Express address is not the same as your 
Post Office, please advise when ordering. 
SIZE. All bulbs listed below are blooming size but the large bulbs offered will generally make larger flowers than the medium size 
bulbs. Five bulbs may be purchased at the ten rate if desired.
