GREETINGS! 
Glad fans, we enjoyed a very good season in 1946, thanks for the fine orders and hope 
you will forgive me for being so slow in answering some letters and if I missed some it was 
because I just tried to do too much. You see this glad business started out as a hobby 
about ten years ago and has now grown until it is quite a business, but I still have most 
of my original work, which is truck gardening, with my father. 
We have been going under the name of Hillcrest Gardens and am enclosing a list of 
hardy mums and the famous Wayzata everbearing strawberries. 
You cen enclose your orders for mums and berry plants with your glads. 
All stock state inspected. All bulbs fumigated with Cyanogas—sure death to thrip. 
This list has been compiled according to the size and color classification recommended 
to and voted at the Pittsburgh National-Gladiolus Conference of 1944, but with slight 
modifications as recommended by the North American Gladiolus Council.

your own choice of bulbs when order is paid in full. A down payment of 25% will hold

WHOLESALE 
For the grower who wants 10 bulbs of a variety, multiply the single price by 8. For 
those who want larger quantities multiply the 10 price by 8 this is the 100 rate, 25 bulbs 
at the 100 rate. 

I must write and thank you for the lovely bulbs I received from you last Spring, 1946. 
I won blue ribbons on White Gold, Ethel Cave Cole, Rio Rita, Big Top and King Klick. On 
King Klick I won blue ribbon, section champion and grand champion at the Twin City 
Glad Show at Lauerman’s, Marinette, Wisconsin and those were on the medium bulbs I 
got from you. You will see the picture in the gladilous magazine, October issue, 1946. 
—Mrs. C. H., Michigan.
