LEBANON. OREGON 
We have just acquired one of the most famous Gladiolus stocks of Oregon, that 
formerly owned by Grant E. Mitsch, the eminent hybridizer of Gladiolus, Delphinium, 
and Daffodils. To this latter class of bulbs, he wishes to devote a more major part of 
his time, hence his reason for disposing to us his Gladiolus stock in its entirety. 
While not the largest stock in quantity (one-third of a million bulbs) it is certainly 
most outstanding in quality, containing only those varieties which are leaders in their 
respective color classes. Thru many years of professional growing experience, Mr. 
Mitsch acquired an unusual skill in the evaluation of Gladiolus performance, and with 
a rigid rule of discarding the varieties which were excelled in color value, form, strength 
of growth, charm and beauty by the new varieties created by the foremost hybridizers, 
this stock today is a remarkable collection of the best and newest of the modern 
Gladiolus. 
All of the bulbs offered in this list were grown, harvested and graded by Mr. 
Mitsch who will supervise packing and shipping until about March Ist. Grown in the 
world famous fertile bulb land of the Willamette Valley of Oregon, they are as vigorous, 
healthy and strong, as they are superior in variety. 
We, the buyers, Iris Acres of Kansas, (Paul V. Baker, Manager) have specialized in 
the growing of Glads, Iris, Oriental Poppies, and Hemerocallis. Those of you who are 
intrigued by the ethereal rainbow blending of the modern Iris, who revel in the flaunting 
boldness of the spectacular Oriental Poppy, or the sturdy grace of the easy to grow 
Hemerocallis in the newer shades of yellows, golds, and reds, will receive our spring 
listing of these on request. 
We will continue the operation of the Oregon Gladiolus acres, under the name 
“Gladland” which Mr. Mitsch has used since 1929. 
TERMS: Cash, or 25% down and balance before delivery or

All stock offered subject to prior sale and to conditions beyond
