GREETINGS 
Dear Friends: All of us who have the time and a plot of ground will be growing a Victory 
Garden this year, and I hope each of you will grow a few flowers. They take so little time, and 
even if one is tired, it is restful to work among the flowers. 
Gladiolus are easy to grow in the rows with your vegetables. They grow best that way and 
you should have plenty for cut flowers. 
All of the bulbs which I am listing were growr in our (Kinyon Glad Gardens) and are safely 
stored in our basement. After the ground was plowed and fitted for planting, all of the work of 
planting, growing, digging and cleaning was done by myself and a young woman who makes her 
home with me, so we know just how much work it takes to grow one acre of gladiolus. 
We also had a Victory Garden in which we grew all kinds of vegetables, raspberries and straw- 
berries, canning plenty of fruit and vegetables. 
With everyone working to help win the war, I want to keep working as many hours each day, 
as possible, but this work among the gladiolus is what I can do best. 
With best wishes to all of you. 
Sincerely, 
MRS. GEORGE KINYON.
