GENERAL LIST OF GLADIOLUS 
All our bulbs are plump, healthy, and both large and medium bulbs are of 
blooming size. Small bulbs usually produce blooms late in the season. Bulb- 
lets seldom bloom the first year, and a percentage of these “baby” bulbs 
always fails to germinate—the rest grow into bulbs mostly small. . 
Large bulbs always produce the finest exhibition spikes, and sometimes 
throw several spikes to the bulb. Medium sized bulbs give excellent spikes, 
particularly when planted early in the season. Small sized bulbs seldom 
give much more than a very short spike but produce large bulbs for the 
following season. 
Large bulbs are 11/4 inches in diameter or over; medium are | inch to 144 
inches and small bulbs are 1/2 to 34 inch. L. = large, M. = medium, 5S. = 
small, Blts. — bulblets. When the size is not noted, large size is implied. 
For special collections see page 14. 

The 3, 12, 25 prices are applicable to one individual variety, not to different 
ones priced alike—no quantity less than 50 at the hundred rate, and no’ — 
smaller quantities than those listed. 
Please Note—Our Gladiolus bulbs were grown under the best of conditions, 
but as an extra precaution we fumigate all of our bulbs before they are sent 
out with methyl bromide, which gives 100 per cent kill of all insects and their 
eggs. 
ADD 2!/, PER CENT TO COVER TAX ON ALL ORDERS FOR DELIVERY IN 
CALIFORNIA, AND ANY OTHER TAX THAT MAY BE IN EFFECT AT THE 
TIME. 
These prices cancel all previous quotations. 
This year we find it quite difficult to estimate our crop of bulbs and, in addi- 
tion to this many growers have reduced their plantings from 50 to 75 per 
cent, and as a result many varieties will be sold out long before planting, 
time. We suggest that you send your orders in early and note several ac- 
ceptable substitutes.
