THANKS 
We especially want to thank all of you who placed such fine orders with 
us last year, and your letters telling us of the success you had with our young, 
vigorous, healthy bulbs. This year’s crop of bulbs is very fine, we had a 
wonderful growing season and a nice dry fall, ideal for harvesting. 
To those of you who are getting our catalog for the first time, we do not 
expect you to order all your needs from us, but we would like to have you 
give us a trial order and compare. 
There re lots of fine fellows in the gladiolus business today. If there is 
some special variety you would like and we do not list, we will gladly refer you 
to some good gladiolus grower who has it. We get catalogs from growers 
all. over the world and we do business with lots of them (that’s how we get 
our starter stocks). 
At this time may we express our sincere good wishes for a happy and suc- 
cessful gladiolus year for 1947, to one and all the Gladiolus Fans regardless 
if you grow only 10 bulbs or have acres and acres of them.
