Ye 
Greetings 
To our many friends and customers we wish to extend our thanks for their 
patronage and favors in the past. We appreciate your business and are grateful for 
your support and consideration. We are very much encouraged and intend to carry 
on. We hope to supply you at all times with the finest of glads. Every glad offered 
in our list is superior in every respect. All are beautiful, exquisite, fine, tall growing 
modern varieties of recent introduction. They are selected from lists of the world’s 
best hybridists, and all of them have been winners at recent state or national gladi- 
olus exhibitions throughout the nation. They have real beauty and refinement and 
will make you proud when you grow them and show them. They are indeed a great 
addition to any garden as each varieay listed has merit and is worthy of your con- 
sideration. Get started with some of these new and modern varieties of glads and 
you will surely become a glad fan if you have not done so already. 
LOCATION: Golden Gardens are located in “The Garden Spot of the World” 
Southeastern Pennsylvania. Parkesburg is forty-four miles west of Philadelphia, 
and twenty-two miles east of Lancaster along the P. R. R. main line. Soil, climate, 
rainfall, in fact growing conditions here are unsurpassed. I believe it is impossible 
to produce better bulbs anywhere. We are situated one mile we:t of Parkesburg. 
From time to time we will continue to offer the best from growers and hy- 
bridizers from all over the world. I have some very fine seedlings coming along 
that look very promising. J am introducing two this year that we think are worth- 
while. Hope you will like them too. 
GUARANTEE: We guarantee all our stock to be healthy, vigorous, free from 
thrips and true to name. We want you to be satisfied. If for any reason bulbs 
are not satisfactory when you receive them we will replace them or make a Satis- 
factory settlement but not exceeding the purchase price of the bulbs. All quota- 
tions are subject to prior sale. If any stock is unsatisfactory tell us and we will 
try to satisfy you. If you like our bulbs and our service tell your friends. 
ORDER EARLY: We urge that you place your order early so that you may 
not be disappointed. Our stock of some varieties is: small due to the labor shortage 
and conditions beyond our control. As conditions improve and labor and facilities 
improve we will have larger stock. We do not like to fill orders received later than 
May 15. We are usually planting after that date. Small bulbs and bulblets later 
than May ist. So we will not promise to fill orders after these dates even if we 
have the stock. But we will try. Orders are segregated as soon as possible when 
received and shipment will be made as soon as possible weather conditions considered 
or will be shipped at the time designated in your order. No substitutions will be 
made without your permission. If we are out of a variety you order your money 
will be refunded unless you give us permission to substitute in size or variety. If so 
we will substitute the nearest color, size and price range that we have in stock.
