BINGHAMTON, NEW YORK 
In Binghamton, August 17th and 18th, 1948, there will be held a wonderful 
show that will probably be the greatest show ever held anywhere. Last year they 
had a magnificent show there with hundreds of contestants entering flowers, including 
a number of growers from Canada and some from other countries and many of the 
leading growers from the U. S. put up fine exhibits. There were growers there from a 
number of foreign countries and from all over the U. S. This coming show is expected 
to surpass even last year’s show. So remember the date and be there if you possibly 
can. 
There are other fine shows held in Boston, Mass., and Cleveland, Ohio and many 
other places, besides smaller shows in many smaller localities. 
“It is my opinion that BLACK PANTHER and ALPINE growing side by side or cut for a vase, 
make the most wonderful gladiolus combination that can be had.’’—Robert W. Graham, Penna. 
“| ordered small glad bulbs from you last spring and in spite of a long very dry season | had nice 
large beautiful blooms and my bulblets | ordered are nice bulbs for another year. | am very satisfied.’ 
—hDMiss Florence Waters, Va. 
“| was very much pleased with the order that you sent me this past spring and expect to order 
more of them. Every one that visited my gardens this summer praised them highly and of course that 
naturally made me feel somewhat proud myself in that | try and grow only the best in the flower line. 
“! want to thank you also for the tip on DELBETAR. It was the best | ever tried and | know } 
promoted the sale of more of it through recommends to my friends.’ —W. G. Bowen, Mich.
