We trust you will find many varieties in our descriptive list that will please 
you. We have gone to considerable trouble to try out many new originations, and 
if. they do not come up to our standard of excellence, they are promptly discarded. 
Due to general demand, we are obliged to carry a number of the better known 
standard varieties that have proved themselves worthy of a place in any garden. 
However, we urge you to try a few of the newer creations, for great progress has 
been made in their development, both in size and clarity of colors. You will find 
the additional outlay will be more than compensated in the results you will, achieve. 
There is a great deal of real personal satisfaction in being able to point with 
pride to a new variety that cannot be found in neighboring gardens. — 
In our list will be found some of the finest gladiolus creations that have ever 
been offered. From a single bulb of these fine varieties, a very satisfactory increase 
in stock can be obtained, and in two or three years a sizable planting will result. All 
the little cormels or bulblets surrounding the mother bulb will develop rapidly into 
blooming size bulbs with most pleasing results. 
Gladiolus do not require any more work than other flowers in your garden. 
If the large bulbs are planted to a depth of about four or five inches, the plants will 
remain upright and not become unsightly in the garden planting. 
Our complete planting directions, accompanying shipments, should make it possible 
for you to produce fine exhibition blooms for your local garden club exhibition, or 
- for national shows that might be held within a reasonable distance from your home. 
: When picked in bud, and properly handled and packed, they can be transported great 
distances without damage. 
In addition to gladiolus, we have a most attractive listing of the finest peonies, 
iris and hemerocallis in a wide variety. Years of experience have enabled us to 
select the very best for our customers, and we can pass them on to you with the 
assurance of complete satisfaction.
