GREETINGS 
We extend our sincere thanks to our customers for their patronage in the past 
which increases with each passing year. And hope the present crisis will not curtail their 
enthusiasm for fine Glads. 
1943 has been a critical year for gladiolus growers, help has been hard to get. 
Fertilizer and spray materials have been scarce and high in price. Cost of other tools and 
materials have soared in prices, so it has been necessary to raise prices of bulbs. 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
No substitutions will be made without your permission. If we are out of a variety 
you order, your money will be refunded unless you give us permission to make a substi- 
tution in size or variety. 
No retail order for less than $1.00 will be accepted. 
Where a variety is listed at 2 for 10 cents or 2 for 15 cents, please do not order a 
smaller number at a lower price. Five bulbs will be sold at one-half the price of ten, but 
no single item will be accepted for less than 10 cents. Where no 10 price is indicated, it 
may be found by multiplying the price of a single bulb by 8. Twenty-five bulbs of the 
same size and variety will be sold at 2 times the price of ten. One hundred of the same 
size and variety will be sold at 8 times the price of ten. 
All retail orders prepaid to all points in the United States.

Large bulbs contain No. 1 and 2 or 1% inch and up.
