The building pictured here is the storage house where our bulbs are kept through 
the winter. It is a-32-foot by 50-foot building, well insulated; and heated by an oil-burn- 
ing forced air system. The temperature is held at 38 to 40 degrees through the winter 
and spring season and that is the best thrip-control we know anything about. All bulbs 
are dried and cured out of doors as much as possible, during the digging season. All 
bulbs are hand cleaned and graded and State inspected before shipping to you.

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF 
North American Gladiolus Council? 
The council is a comparatively new organization comprising more than 
a thousand Gladiolus Fanciers and commercial growers with membership 
from coast to coast, and in Canada. They publish a very fine quarterly 
magazine, filled with many fine articles relative to Glads; and is very help- 
ful in keeping the average grower familiar with the better varieties to 
grow for show purposes as well as for florist and home uses. It also carries 
advertising from most of the best growers of the country. 
We will send without charge a dozen fine bulbs, our selection, to any- 
one for a $1.00 subscription to the Council Magazine, or it may be mailed 
direct to C. D. Fortnam, Tyler Hill, Penn., or to Thomas Manley, Secretary, 
Oglebay Park, Wheeling, W. Va.
