Conditions under which we are producing bulbs and nursery 
products continue to be extremely difficult. The help situation 
seems to be even more acute than during the dark war years. But 
God has blessed us with good growing seasons, which has again 
produced blooms and bulbs that we are more than proud of. 
While we had a comparatively late wet spring, we again have 
a very late fall. This makes four years running that we have cut 
some Glad blooms in November. The lack of early frosts has given 
bulbs a long growing season and the quality is wonderful. 
In spite of the difficulty in 
growing and caring for crops 
in these trying times, our 
business is growing by leaps 
and bounds, so much so that 
we have employed the serv- 
ices of Clayton (Tony) Birch. 
Tony, as an ex-Methodist 
Minister, who is known by 
many from coast to coast 
through his activities in the 
Empire State Gladiolus Society and the North American 
Gladiolus Council, will take over as our office manager. 
This will give me a better opportunity to more efficiently 
handle the production end of our business. 
May we, at this late date, extend our sincere thanks for 
your patronage this past season. We hope to give you even 
better service in 1946-47. 
Order as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Some 
varieties and sizes are sure to be limited. We can ship later 
or anytime you say, but please get your order to us early. 
It not only assures you of everything you want, but spreads 
the work to better advantage for us.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ORDERS 
As soon as your order is received, it is booked 
in a triplicate order pad. You will be mailed 
the pink sheet as an acknowledgment, the 
yellow sheet goes to the warehouse for filling 
your order and the white copy remains in our 
office for reference. In writing regarding your 
order, please mention order number. It saves 
us a lot of work in the office. 
TERMS AND DISCOUNTS 
We sell 5 bulbs at the 10 rate. We do not sell 
less than the smallest quoted unit. For in- 
stance, if a variety is listed 2 bulbs for $.20, 
we will not sell one bulb for $.10, as the cleri- 
cal work, filling and packing orders is too ex- 
pensive. On orders of $3.00 to $10.00 you may, _ 
add 5% of the total in extra bulbs and 10% 
on orders from $10.00 and up. 
PLEASE MAKE YOUR OWN SELECTION 
These discounts do not apply to assortments, 
collections, to items marked “No discount” 
or to orders from the quantity list. We make 
to orders with full payment before shipment. 
GUARANTEE 
Above all we take great pains to keep stock 
absolutely true to name. In spite of this, mis- 
takes or errors are made, sometimes when we 
don’t even know it. If you find any not true 
to name or badly mixed, remember we are 
ready to replace, refund or make an adjust- 
ment in some way. But tell US, so that we can 
make a correction. 
We have declared war on bulb diseases and 
feel confident we are gradually winning the 
battle. Thorough treating, an extensive rogu- 
ing program, throughout the season and up- 
to-date methods of curing and storing, makes 
our bulbs the best money can buy.
