HELLO FOLKS:— 
It is indeed a privilege and a pleasure to send you our 1947 catalog of 
Gladiolus bulbs which feature a variety of fine Gladiolus. 
We have had a prosperous year and want to thank our customers for their 
many letters of appreciation and thanks. We value your friendship and sincerely 
thank you for your orders received during 1946. 
Our aim is to please every customer whether the order is large or small, 
for we know there is no advertisement more important to a business than a 
satisfied cutosmer. Each and every order is given the same consideration and 
attention, whether it is a new customer or one who has purchased from us for 
years. 
Word has spread wide and fast by our satisfied customers last year, that 
many orders had to be returned; especially those wanting large size bulbs, as 
we were completely sold out on some varieties before we could say “JACK 
ROBINSON”. We therefore advise all who intend to order from us, to do so 
as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. 
We have finished digging our bulbs and have started cleaning and curing 
a grand quality of clean healthy stock. In our opinion and the opinion of the 
visitors who were here during digging time they surpass the bulbs of other years. 
Visitors to our fields this summer from all over the country, were very 
much impressed by the healthiness of our stock, and have found our motto to 
be true, namely:- OUR MOTTO — FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS, IS TO GROW 
AND SELL GOOD CLEAN HEALTHY STOCK. 
We advise you to ORDER EARLY, as our advance sales have been many 
and you may be disappointed if you prolong sending your order. We grow and 
sell only stock grown in our field and when supply is gone there will be no 
more until next year, for we want to be sure of the kind of bulbs our customers 
receive. 
We hereby extend to the public, a cordial invitation to visit us at any time, 
whether it be when flowers are in bloom which is from the end of July until 
frost, at digging time, or when bulbs are in storage. We are conveniently located 
on U. S. Hwy. 51, about 7 miles south of Steven’s Point, and about 4 blocks 
south of intersection of Hwy. 51 and 54. It is the farm immediately after the 
curve. If you are traveling north on Hwy. 51, it is the farm on the right hand side 
immediately before the curve and just before intersection of Hwy. 51 and 54.
