Send remittance in full or 25% deposit; balance before shipment. 
Transportation charges prepaid on retail orders of $2.00 or more. 
Under $2.00, add 25c to cover handling costs and transportation 
charges. Do not send remittance in postage stamps as they cannot 
be exchanged for cash. As the planting and care of all bulbs sold 
by us are beyond our control, we cannot be in any way responsible 
for the results after planting. 
QUALITY STOCK 
Cheap prices are only made possible by inferior methods of 
growing or by careless handling of stock after digging. Such prac- 
tices will be inevitably reflected in the quality of flowers pro- 
duced. We have tried to meet fair competition and at the same 
time offer stock that is of the highest quality obtainable. Our 
prices, we believe, are as low as those of any other reputable grow- 
er and our discounts even greater. 
GLADIOLUS INFORMATION 
Large bulbs are 1% inches or more in diameter but in most 
cases will be 1% to 2 inches, medium bulbs 34 to 1% inches and 
small bulbs %4 to 3% inch. When there is a figure before the price 
such as 2-15 it means 2 bulbs for 15c. Five bulbs sold at the 10 
rate. 
Bulblets of some gladiolus are sold only in packages (Pkg.) 
and will vary in quantity from 50 to well over 100 in each depend- 
ing on the variety. You can be assured of generous count. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS will be included with each order 
when requested. 
Gladiolus Bulb Dips 
Ali buibs shouic be dipped in some approved solution inorder 
to disinfect the bulbs against disease and also to kill any thrip or 
thrip eggs that might be on the bulbs. It is advisable to dip all 
bulbs even though they appear free of disease and insects. Badly 
diseased bulbs should be discarded entirely. 
NEW IMPROVED CERESAN 
l-oz. new Improved Ceresan; 3 teaspoons of a spreader sticker; 3 
gallons of water. Mix the Ceresan and spreader together, then 
add a small amount of water, stirring until a smooth paste is 
secured, after which add the remainder of water. Use a wooden 
paddle for stirring and don’t get the concentrated mixture on the 
hands, as it can cause serious burns. Bulbs treated in the weakened 
solution can be handled without harm. Soak bulbs for 15 minutes, 
bulbets for 30 minutes and plant immediately. 
LYSOL 
4-tablespoons Lysol to 3 gallons of water or 1 pint Lysol to 25 
gallons of water. Soak bulbs 3 to 6 hous and bulbets 12 to 14 
hours. Plant same day, while wet if possible. 
Summer Thrip Sprays 
TARTAR EMETIC 
The following formula is a sure control for thrip if spraying is 
started early: 2 ounces or 4% teaspoons of tartar emetic, % cup 
of brown sugar and 3 gallons of water. Mix the solution well and 
spray weekly from time the plants make their second or third leaf. 
If necessary to substitute for the brown sugar, then use molasses, 
honey or cane sugar. 
DD 
D.D.T. is newer than Tartar Emetic and is proving very effective. 
Apply with a dust gun and use a 5% D.D.T. dust. 2 or 3 applica- 
tions will usually clean up an infestation. Use every 10 days as a 
precaution. D.D.T. liquid spray may also be used. Mix 1 oz. of 
50% D.D.T. with 3 gallons of water. The addition of 2 teaspoons 
of Dreft or other standard spreader is advisable. 
Winter Control of Thrip 
1 to 2 oz. Naphthalene flakes to each 100 bulbs, applied as soon as 
they are dry in the fall is a good control for thrip in storage. Cover 
the containers to confine the fumes and leave in a warm room for 
3 or 4 weeks. ™% oz. D.D.T. dust applied to 1 peck of bulbs and 
left on in storage, is also very effective. 
Special Collections 
In past years our gladiolus collections have been very popular. 
For that reason we are continuing these offers for those that like 
to order gladiolus in groups rather than select them from the 
regular price list. All are “top-notch” varieties. These collections 
are priced at considerably less money than you would have to 
pay for the same varieties if purchased individually.
