GREETINGS, GLAD FANS! 
Thanks for your orders in 1947 and hope we may be favored with them again. The 
growing season for 1947 was a little out of the ordinary, being cool and wet until the 13th of 
July, then it turned off very hot and dry until August 19th when we had rain again. 
The old saying, “All is well that ends well” sure-holds true for last season as we harvested 
plenty of very good, large and jumbo bulbs which are going to the early orders. 
We usually go to a few Glad shows in the midwest and have always taken home a few 
blue ribbons but this year we did our very best we brought home two of those very beau- 
tiful big orange rosette ribbons put out by the N.A.G.C. One was for champion spike at 
Sioux City. This was Oregon Rose the other was won by Spic and Span at the Albert Lea 
show. We also won champion 3 spikes at Sioux City with Oregon Rose and Spic and Span 
was also 3-spike champion at Albert Lea. This I believe is quite a record for the same 
variety to win single and 3-spike at the same show. 
All stock state inspected. All bulbs fumigated with Cyanogas—sure death to thrip. 
This list has been compiled according to the size and color classification recommended 
to and voted at the Pittsburgh National Gladiolus Conference of 1944, -but with slight 
modifications as recommended by the North American Gladiolus Council.
