GREETINGS 
In placing before you our 1948 catalog of choice gladiolus, we once again take 
the opportunity to thank our many friends and customers for their continued support 
and for the many fine letters of appreciation. 
We offer a choice of the world’s best gladiolus, both old and new, and can supply 
selected, hand cleaned, highest grade corms which are sand grown, disease and thrip 
free. 
As we predicted, our last season’s releases proved immensely popular. Reports 
from growers stamp Venida as the best glad since Picardy; our new releases, Dorothy 
Armstrong and Skyway, are right up to the High standard we have set, and we feel 
equally confident they will make friends where ever they are grown. 
I invite your inquiries on any subject concerning ‘‘Glads”” and am never too busy 
to reply to even the smallest matters. 
We wish to assure all our customers that we will give their orders our personal 
attention and do everything within our power to see that they receive the utmost value 
tor their investment.
