PROSPECTIVE PATRON: Our originations have won so many awards at the 
Shows and Trial Gardens where they have been exhibited or tested that we believe 
many of them will become great favorites with show fans and other Glad lovers 
when these varieties become better known. AS AN AID TO THE WIDER DIS- 
SEMINATION OF OUR VARIETIES, WE WILL GIVE ONE DOLLAR VALUE IN 
GLAD BULBS FOR EACH FIRST PRIZE, TWO DOLLARS VALUE ADDITIONAL 
FOR SECTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, AND FIVE DOLLARS VALUE ADDITIONAL 
FOR GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP WON IN A 1946 STATE OR REGIONAL GLAD 
SHOW WITH ANY OF OUR ORIGINATIONS; ALL ‘WINNERS CHOICE IN LARGE 
OR MEDIUM BULBS OF OUR OWN VARIETIES. PLEASE SEND A PRIZE 
CERTIFICATE OBTAINED FROM THE SHOW COMMITTEE. ALSO STAMPS 
TO COVER POSTAGE ON PRIZE BULBS UNLESS AN ADDITIONAL ORDER OF 
AT LEAST $2.00 IS INCLUDED. 
Our varieties have been developed on fairly heavy soil which assures that they 
should do well on almost any type of soil; this not being true of many varieties 
developed on light soil. 
During the war we werd late in planting many of our bulblets, consequently 
we are not listing small size in some varieties and may run short of small bulbs in 
others. If we do we will substitute 20% greater value in medium size. 
PRICES GIVEN ARE FOR ONE BULB, 5 BULBS WILL BE SUPPLIED AT 
4 TIMES, AND 25 BULBS AT 17 TIMES THE SINGLE PRICE. 10 BULBLETS 
FOR THE PRICE OF A LARGE BULB AND 100 AT 7 TIMES. POSTAGE PAID 
ON PREPAID ORDERS OVER $2.00. 5% DISCOUNT ON ORDERS OF $5.00 TO 
$10.00; 10% DISCOUNT ON ORDERS OVER $10.00. NO LABELED SINGLE ITEM 
LESS THAN 15 CENTS EXCEPT IN COLLECTIONS, 
Now that the war is over we expect to be able to make shipments as soon 
as danger of freezing is past. Orders for bulblets should be sent before March 15th,
