to Beautify Your Garden | 
Another year has rolled around since we prepared our Hadiolis ist 
and we have had another season to observe and evaluate the different — 
varieties we grow. We have eliminated a few varieties and supplied ae 
that we think are somewhat better and more desirable: __ 
We like to test out varieties in our own plantings, in fact we s ieewe: i 
do before offering them to our customers. In this way we are able to 
determine to our own satisfaction whether or not the variety iS worthy 
of distribution. | ! 
We experienced a very dry season last year, but being eeuinped with | 
a complete irrigating system, we were not handicapped in this respect, in 
fact we have harvested a very fine lot of bulbs which we will supply to 
our customers. 
Any amateur can plant gladiolus bulbs and io ae sure oh 
getting good results if a few simple precautions are followed. Complete 
cultural instructions will be furnished with each shipment of bulbs. 
If you have never grown gladiolus, you will be amazed to see > how 
they respond to good treatment by giving you fine bloom that Bel prove 
a source of delight throughout the flowering season 
Be liberal with your planting of glads so you can have continuous 
blooms in your garden throughout the summer and a supply of cut-flowers 
for your home. If you already have a collection, add some of the newer 
ones to see what improvements have been made in recent introductions. We 
are sure there will be surprises in store for you. ae
