FOREWORD 
Another year has passed and this gives me an opportunity for my annual ‘Thank 
You” for your valued and continued patronage. The biggest war in history has ended 
and once more right has been triumphant over wrong and man can again continue his 
peace time pursuits of life, liberty and happiness. 
Many folks inquire about the boys so I'll just mention that they are all well. “Art”’ 
received his honorable discharge from the army recently and I guess the “Old Man” was 
prouder of the two rows of ribbons than he was. “Al” is sweating it out in China while 
“Ed” is still sailing the wide Pacific. 
This past season was the wettest in my 20-odd years of growing glads. Varieties 
were vying to out-do each other. A good year to judge the maximum performance of 
LAVENDER PRINCE 

many doubtful varieties. Glads cer- 
tainly like plenty of water provided 
there is good drainage. The bulb crop 
turned out fine and bulblet growth 1s 
larger than usual. 
Bulbs are still on the short side 
which means the demand exceeds the 
supply especially in the better varieties, 
therefore prices are about the same as 
last year. Of course on the newer 
varieties stocks are usually small and 
are apt to be sold out. 
Early ordering is still advisable. 
STAR ISRIDING FAG HEART HEUL 
HOBBY. GROW GLADS! 
GUARANTEE 
I guarantee satisfaction. If for any 
reason you are not satisfied, please write 
me and I will do my utmost to make 
satisfactory adjustment. Likewise, if 
you are pleased, I will be glad to hear 
of it, especially mention varieties that 
do well for you. 
ORDER EARLY 
We both benefit when you order 
early. Early orders get the choicest 
bulbs with less chance of being out of 
any variety. Also, I have more time to 
put up your order, less chance of error 
and less overtime. Please order early! 
With every order cultural directions 
are included. 
Visitors are always welcome at my 
fields during the blooming season.
