Our Glads Are Free from Thrip! 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting stock for years our gladioli have always been 
free from thrip. As an added precaution and to be sure that bulbs supplied by us are absolutely 
free from this pest, we will also scientifically treat our bulbs again before shipment is made to our 
customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip lives in the soil, as well as'on the bulbs in storage, through the winter, it is 
imperative that our bulbs be planted on soil where gladioli were not grown last year and not 
close to other gladioli from other sources. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well matured, which is absolutely essential for producing ex- 
hibition flowers.
