IF YOU ARE NO LONGER GROWING FLOWERS WILL YOU KINDLY HAND THIS LIST TO A FRIEND WHO 
IS FOND OF FLOWERS. THANK YOU! 
This List Cancels All Previous Prices. 
PRICE LIST 1944 
GLADHAVEN GARDENS 
George G. Fowler, Prop. 
North Main Street Franklin, N. H. 
I wish to extend to you my friends thanks for your patronage in the past and best wishes for your Health, Happiness 
and Prosperity in the New Year. The outlook is brighter this year than last for the termination of a -horrible war. 
We must continue to buy War Bonds however, and if we have any money left, what is better than to grow a few flow- 
ers to brighten our life. I expect many of us will need flowers more than ever this year. 
This may be my last price list. Please file this price list away for future use up to February Ist, 1945, as I may 
not issue a list in 1945. Will accept orders for bulbs on this list while my stock lasts subject to conditions here printed. 
We had a hard time to grow and harvest our bulbs in 1943 with growing a number of other crops for food. 
I find we are not as young as we were when we began growing and selling gladiolus bulbs over 20 years ago. 
There is a shortage of gladiolus bulbs, many growers have gone out of business, so I would suggest you place your orders 
early and have them shipped when wanted. If you wait until you are ready to plant I am afraid it will be hard to 
fill your order. My supply is limited now. 
Cordially yours, 
GEO. G. FOWLER and MRS. FOWLER.

1944. Cannot guarantee crop or anything depending on cultivation or weather.

READ CAREFULLY 
The first column of figures lists the smallest or minimum lot of a kind put up. The price would be thus for two 
or more bulbs, 2—10 meaning two 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 1st. 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.
