NEWER GLADS FOR 1944 
In presenting our Gladiolus descriptive list for 1944 we 
have tried to include the best of the newer varieties and a 
few fine older ones which are still very much in the running. 
Of course, some good new kinds we have either not tried or 
do not yet have in sufficient quantity to list. Those which 
have shown definite faults such as slow propagation or tend- 
ency to crook have been so described. Except that we irrig- 
ste waen needed, our Idaho climate gives the new varieties 
a rigid test, and those varieties which perform well here 
should also do well in most parts of the country, we believe, 
About our seedlings: We have been hybridizing for many 
years and have raised several quite promising seedlings (we 
think); some of these we now have in sufficient quantity for 
introduction, but prefer to test them for another year or 
two to make sure that they are worthy to be named and placed 
on the market. 
Terms of sale: Retail orders of $1.00 or more will be 
prepaid anywhere in the United States. 12 bulbs sold at 10 
times the single price, with 6 bulbs at the dozen rate. 
Delivery will be made after March 15th, or as soon as safe 
\from freezing. Bulbs guaranteed healthy and true to name, 
and free from thrips. We do not issue a wholesale list.
