GREETINGS 
A hearty greeting to all flower lovers and especially so Gladiolus fans, 
from the Ravet’s. Marie (3), Johnny (6) and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ravet. 
The pictures of John and Marie and our glads which we are using through- 
out our catalog were taken this past summer. The front cover is a picture 
of Marie with a beautiful basket of Corona, the leading cutflower glad today. 
Our catalog this year is a departure from the alphabetical listing and we 
are separating according to colors. It has the advantage of being easier for 
you to select the variety you wish without going through the entire list to find 
all the varieties of that particular color. 
We will gladly answer all questions and assist in whatever way possible 
any Garden Club or Gladiolus Society, to prepare Color class, etc., for the 
purpose of holding a flower show. 
If your club or organization wish to purchase bulbs in a group, write us 
for particulars on our special offer for unit buying. 
On behalf of the Wisconsin Gladiolus Society and the Twin City Chapter 
we wish to extend a special invitation to everyone, to come and exhibit, and 
also see the Wisconsin State Show, which will be held in Marinette, Wisconsin, 
August 23 and 24, 1947. Plans already made promises to make this show 
one of the outstanding State Shows for 1947. So take your car, airplane or 
boat, fill it with glads and come to Marinette, August 23. Youll have a good 
time and see a swell show.
