MAY WE SUGGEST ? 
If you have been growing gladiolus for some years, and are familiar with color descriptions 
and exhibiting, you can broaden your gladiolus interest and enjoyment by owning the Color Chart, 
published by the New England Gladiolus Society. This has gone through four revisions and the 
latest edition, with lacquered finish, has brighter colors than ever. This is not only the standard 
for gladiolus color classificaticn but is now included also in the National Council of State Garden 
Clubs—"'Handbook of Flower Show Judging’’—more than 6000 copies have been distributed in 
the past few years. 
If you wish to add $2.00 (the actual cost) to your bulb order we shall be glad to forward it to 
N.E.G.S. for you. You may order frem the Society direct,—if so, please mention reading about it 
here. 

Box for Shipping Blooms to the Shows 
This is the type of box we have used to ship blooms to the shows for several years. It is 
made of white pine or any light wood. Inside measurements, 48” long, 15” wide, 9” high. Stock 
is ¥2” thick except ends which are %”; the cover has three cleats on the top and three 2'42”’ butt 
hinges. The front of the cover is held down in front by a couple of wire nails and then a wire 
or rope put around the box to be sure the cover is not pushed up in transit. The table to hold 
the second layer is made of laths nailed on a 1” x 1” frame; let them be long enough so the table 
can not move sideways or endways and use short pieces of lath for the legs. Let the legs be 
long enough so the table comes up half way (4'2”) of the box thus dividing the inside space 
equally. When you put the table in ke sure no blooms are under the legs.
